Work through the wobbles!
Learn how to find your balance on the mat and create more focus and resilience in your life
"I can't balance!"
Do you say to yourself "I can't balance"? You're not alone! But how often do you practice balancing?
​
Do you know how to help yourself balance? That your sense of balance can vary dramatically from day to day? That your mind has a huge part to play in how well you can balance?
​
And do you think that wobbling means you can't balance?
​
I want to show you that everyone can balance (yes even you!). Practising this skill leads to more stability in your yoga practice and your everyday life, which could save you from potentially damaging accidents!
​
But that's not all! The benefits of balance go way beyond the physical.
​
Practising balance develops your focus and concentration, on and off the yoga mat.
​
It can help you cope with the real life wobbles that we all face. The unsteadiness of balancing positions in yoga reflects the uncertainty and constant changes in our everyday lives, giving you the opportunity to practise stepping into your fears in a safe space - being scared and doing it anyway!
​
Each time you wobble or fall out of a position, you'll learn something new about yourself, and adapt your approach so next time it's not so scary. And next time you're faced with a real life challenge, you might have the courage to face it head on, and be able to navigate it more easily - working through the wobbles!

How have my classes helped my students?
Claire Healy
I absolutely love Anna Banana Yoga!
Being new to yoga, Anna explains every position so well that you don’t need to watch her and I could feel the benefits after the first session. Her gentle approach is really encouraging and after just a couple of sessions I booked up for the term!
I feel so much more flexible and supple.
Judith Herring
I'd just like to say how much Anna has helped me. All movements are explained with various alternatives so that they are achievable without straining any injury or discomfort, making you feel confident in the poses.
​
Her gentle tone and encouraging way have helped enormously in building confidence in my yoga. She's helped me get back on form after my back injury.
Kourtnie Perry
I can't recommend Yoga with Anna enough.
I've been to multiple classes where I felt inadequate, embarrassed and self-conscious especially with the injuries I had.
Anna made me feel relaxed and comfortable immediately and I love that she gives me alternatives for poses without putting me on the spot.

​​
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.
