I believe that yoga should be for everyone and my classes have a modern focus on yoga, with care and attention taken to support everyone to access a beneficial and safe yoga practice. My classes provide an opportunity to pause, supporting a mind, body and breath connection, whilst building physical strength and flexibility. 

I have recently completed an,18 month, 200 hour yoga teacher training qualification with Whitespace in Milton Keynes. Learning changed to online, due to Covid 19, half way through the course which at first seemed challenging but has in fact been beneficial as it has given me experience in both in person and online teaching. Whilst it is great to physically be with people in a yoga class it has been amazing how yoga has been so successfully adapted to continue online. People find that it can make it more accessible to them, as they do not need to get child care or factor in travel time, they can access yoga from their own home and of course location does not restrict which classes you can attend!

During the Covid lockdown I took the opportunity to gain some further yoga skills and knowledge, taking two modules of the advanced 300 hour teacher training programme at Bristol School of Yoga, one on sequencing classes and the other on the energy body. I also undertook a short introductory course in restorative yoga and a number of workshops to enhance my knowledge of relevant anatomy for yoga.

I am passionate about the benefits of yoga and how it can give us something that is often absent in our lives, mental space! A chance to recognise that our body, mind and breath function best when they are working together and that there are huge benefits in investing the time in strengthening this natural connection.

I am presently running an online class on Thursdays from 7.30 - 8.30pm and I will be running an in person class earlier on Thursday evenings at Hurst Village Hall, when the Covid restrictions are lifted. I will be introducing more classes shortly.

I hope that you will be able to join me!

Thanks,

Joanna
