Learn & Love Your Body
Discover how to listen to your body and get the best from every yoga posture
How do you feel about your body?
What do say about your body? Do you find yourself saying you have a 'bad' knee, or thinking to yourself that your body is 'broken'?
​
Do you moan at your body for not being able to do all the things you want to be able to to? For not being able to do what others can do?
​
Do you find yourself unknowingly doing things that are damaging to your body eg. slouching at a computer, hunching your shoulders, clenching your jaw?
​
Do you push your body as hard as you can in every activity, no matter how much it aches or hurts?
​
It's vitally important for our wellbeing to have a healthy connection between our mind and body. But many of us give our bodies such a hard time, or simply ignore our bodies and pretend they're not there! This makes us more vulnerable to injuries and illnesses, and can lead to a downward spiral of negativity between mind and body.
Yoga is a valuable tool to help create a kinder, deeper and more loving relationship with our body and I'd love to share it with you. I want to show you that it's not about making the perfect shapes, it's about learning to listen to, care for and love your body exactly the way it is in each and every moment of your practice.
​
By bringing more awareness to your body this term, you will have an early warning system for any physical and emotional challenges showing up in your life, and can use your body in yoga to help you work through these difficulties with more ease.
​
And as you learn to love your body, you may start to love yourself a little more too!

​​
Do I have to commit to a whole term?
​​
My students experience much greater changes to their mind and body, and find their yoga practice more satisfying, when they commit to a regular practice and complete the full term theme. That's why I ask you to book a term in advance and give you options to make up for any classes you miss.
Term bookings enable me to get to know my students and how I can support you better, and make the most of the limited spaces I have available in each class.
