Yoga Classes For Men And Women

The word Yoga means Unity or oneness and comes from the Sanskrit word Yuj which means to join. This Unity or joining is described in spiritual terms as the union of the individual consciousness, with the Universal Consciousness.

On a practical level Yoga is a means of balancing and harmonising the body, mind and emotions. This is done through the practice of asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha, and meditation.

Yoga can benefit people of all ages and ability. Yoga is not competitive, the aim is to be comfortable as you move into the posture. With regular practice knots, tension and stiffness in the body are released. The whole physiological and neurological system is enhanced.

A feeling of balanced energy and well-being is experienced. The mind is relaxed and inner awareness is expanded. These are some of the fruits of Yoga.

It’s not necessary for you to fully understand the deeper philosophical meaning of Yoga, you will gain benefit by practicing and experiencing.

Yoga is a spiritual practice but not a religion, therefore it does not clash or interfere with your own beliefs.

I trained to be a Yoga teacher in Kerala, Southern India, at the International Vasishta Yoga Research Foundation, and at the end of my training I promised to uphold the values of the tradition. Part of that tradition is honouring the lineage of yogic masters and teachers who gave us this timeless knowledge, and we do this by singing and chanting traditional mantras together.

My classes are designed for improvers and intermediates and as you progress through the course I will gradually include different variations to enhance your practice. Classes last 75min and may include; mantra chanting, gentle loosening movements and stretching, classical yoga postures, relaxation, breathing exercises and meditation.

The classes run continuously throughout the year in six week blocks and to gain a course discount they must be paid at the beginning of each new block.

If you can’t commit to the whole course, then you can attend as a drop-in if there is space.

Please contact me for the course fees and drop-in price.

Private Yoga classes are available for one to one tuition and small private groups.

Classes are held at Chapel Hall Arts, Cratfield Road, Fressingfield, IP21 5QD.

Tuesday 9.15am to 10.30am
