Anything active is always a thrill for me. In short I love movement, its grace, its beauty and its power as well as poise.
The human body with its amazing form and ability to know exactly how to look after and heal itself is a triumph of nature.
I have trained in Dressage since the age of 16 (teaching riders to train their horses) and my belief is that simply if we can make union with ourselves, we can also do so with the environment around us.
For me, movement is the key to letting go of the desires we all have in our lives and so handing over the how's to the universe. What we seek we will then often find, in its own timing, when we are ready to accept.
My classes always have fun at the base, combined with focus, concentration and some self discipline. Learning to laugh at yourself is a great skill!!! Relaxation is key and it is never forgotten in my class. Time is dedicated to you and your own relaxation. Breathing techniques are used and luxurious Yoga Nidra. Open discussion is always given space.
As yoga is a union, I do believe if we can all share in this activity called "life", we can all learn and support each other. I would like to hope that classes can become those treasured "community" moments that are so often missing from our busy, hectic lives.
Trained in Ashtanga Vinyasa, I do enjoy using these principles of the 8 limbs of yoga as well as combining Hatha yoga and moments of restorative Yoga. I am also a Sports Yoga Coach, meaning that I have the skills to analyse different sports, the requirements within them and go deeper into each individual athletes needs. Assessments are carried out on a one to one basis and micro sequences formed for each personal requirement depending on where we perceive the problem or lacking area to be. I also work alongside other members of the sports coach team - the nutritionist, physio, head coach etc. IT us a pleasure to assist a sportsman holistically to help gain that competitive margin, in a "less is more" modality.
I have also just passed my Rieki 1 degree so enabling me to encompass my work with energy in a more specific way.
