By appointment, I arrive and deliver a bespoke yoga programme accounting for your fitness wants as well as addressing the imbalances and misalignments in your regular postures plus a few challenges. The programme can be cardio- vascular, stretchy, strength orientated, relaxing or restorative! It can include singing bowls.

Finding your path and making your choice:

Some people are adverse to joining public classes with worries regarding competence or a heightened sense of embarrassment and these people often prefer the smaller, homely setting with a nurturing approach to establishing, enhancing and maintaining a personal practice with nuances befitting one’s personality.

Other people thrive in the class setting enjoying the banter and the sense of community / team which makes for a sense of affiliation and commitment to a group. For some of these it is the “getting lost in the crowd” that is the appeal and for others it is the notion of sharing the experience and space with others that is the attraction.

In the former, there is greater awareness drawn to one’s technique in all asanas visited; but to avoid being overwhelmed with information a selected “thread” is pursued throughout the session - for example the position of the spine or the use of the breath, or the placement of the hands, to name but a few themes. Also there is an optional element chosen by the client as an area for improvement / something to master!.

In the latter, generic cues are given but personalised pacing is encouraged as are choices of “what to focus on” - so even though it is a generic class, following a prescribed programme for development, one can still have a sense of “personalising” the practice.
