Beginning again

It seems quite a sad title for this blog... I can assure you it's totally the opposite. Exciting, scary, humbling, refreshing, and a sense of relief that a little perspective changes everything. I first did my yoga teacher training in 2003, after a summer apprenticeship in Ibiza. A whole 17 years ago. And things change... My teacher had changed. In his daily yoga he began to refine his method. It became simpler, with instruction specifically to help us feel deeply the joints, the relationships between our body parts, the subtle and not so subtle feelings that we usually ...

Dynamic Yoga Workshops

Dynamic yoga workshops offer a more in depth look at the softening effects of yoga posture practise, with a longer than average class time, a deeper relaxation and time for sitting at the end for pranayama in stillness. Herbal tea follows... Workshops are suitable for anyone. With a maximum of five participants, I offer a quiet and gentle retreat away from the daily anxiety, stresses and strains, into a deeper understanding of your body and it's ability to quieten as you release the breath and allow the mind to let go. Dynamic yoga workshops are similar in ...

Pregnant! Now what…?

Pregnancy. A time for many changes physically, mentally and emotionally. Sometimes even spiritually, as you become awestruck about the absolute miracle of life, growing within you. Sometimes good feelings, sometimes not so good. How can I help to support you? As a mother to three children, with three very different births under my belt, I have experienced many different scenarios during pregnancy and labour. From denial to fear, from diabetes to shoulder dystocia, and from shock to euphoria and total empowerment, I believe I have enough experience to listen without ...

Doing yoga

So, you might ask what does 'doing yoga' consist of? What do we actually do within a class? As a beginner, will I be able to 'do it' at all? Perhaps you have been to many yoga classes, or done many home videos. Why is dynamic yoga any different? In dynamic yoga we use repetitive actions to awaken the deep sensitivity within the body; to be open to sensation as it happens and to lengthen and broaden the body, creating space and openness within the bodymind. There shouldn't be any expectations, although flexibility and strength often occur as a natural by-product of this ...

Daytime yoga classes

**CURRENTLY NOT RUNNING** Thursday mornings 9.30-10.30am If you're looking for daytime yoga classes, our morning class will suit you perfectly. Dynamic yoga is a deeply sensitising practise which brings awareness to the relationship between the body parts as you move gently between postures. All postures are easily adaptable, and the focus is on what you can feel rather than what you can do (or what the mind thinks you can do). Maximum of four students in this class only. You can see a short practise demonstration here, though without instruction. These ...

Yoga… sleep???

Calmness, peacefulness, relaxation. "I could do with that!", people tell me, when I say I am a yoga teacher or talk about my practise. I also sometimes get the response "Oh but I am not flexible enough to do yoga.". Posture practise, which has commonly become known as 'yoga', is only one part of it.. In my humble opinion, yoga, (union of body and mind) is possibly more difficult to work towards through postures, to those of us who are flexible than it is to those of us who aren't, unless you are hung up on what the person next to you is doing. Sometimes, even the thought ...

Dynamic Yoga Classes

Dynamic Yoga Increase flexibility and strength, while reducing tension and stress within the bodymind. Yoga is a very personal journey and does not involve competition with others or with yourself.

If you have not done yoga before, or have not been to any dynamic yoga classes you will need to complete a six week dynamic yoga beginners course at least once before having access to this class. Yoga is beneficial to everyone, and especi...
