I teach yoga postures which are sensible movements to encourage free and easy movement in daily life. My approach is to work mindfully and on a neurological level and so we focus on releasing and letting go of unnecessary tension rather than using effort or force. If we introduce tension into our postures then we are actually practicing being stressed and this is not something we usually need more of in our lives! The classes also include breathing practices to encourage healthy breathing in everyday life, Yoga Nidra deep relaxation and mindfulness meditation techniques.
At the moment, all classes are in small groups, live online and available as recordings with video demonstrations, so you can do them in your own time as well as or instead of live online with me.
For any of you suffering from too much time online, please be assured that in my yoga classes you do not have to watch the screen all the time! You practice quietly in your own space whilst I am watching the screen, checking you have understood my verbal instructions. You only need to look at the screen for the occasional demonstration of a new practice.
About the yoga
Sensible postures to support functional movement in daily life.
Yoga not as an exercise but to: develop awareness; loose tension; tune in to the neuromuscular system and map better movement and breathing patterns on the brain.
Yoga for all levels: from complete beginners to those with years of experience; from people living with chronic pain to the extremely fit.
Breath awareness (pranayama), yoga nidra (deep relaxation) and classical Indian mindfulness
meditation techniques.
What students say about the online classes
“Just to let you know I have done the first lesson and enjoyed it – even the noisy rain! It was like soothing balm in the most bizarre of times.”
“Many thanks for the classes, they’re great.”
“Thank you so much for these on-line sessions – just about to do the second one now. I found it so useful last week . It’s a slightly strange experience doing it alone in my front room but still lovely.”
“Thank you again for the wonderful on line classes. Despite not being as busy as usual, it’s still such a boost to stop for a while and have a class.”
“Thank you for all the work you’ve put into recording the online lessons,
it is a great help and I would be very sorry to have to miss the classes
for several months until lockdown can be eased.”
“Thanks. It’s really great having all this.”
“Thanks for this Rebecca. Just finished your mindfulness meditation as I was aware my BP was rocketing and needed to get grounded. Also enjoying Tara Brach- thanks for sharing.”
“Thanks for the online class – very useful.”
“I enjoyed my yoga session this morning and aim to continue to do one daily – I need to get my toes moving!”
