This series of classes focuses on the practice of sun salutation postures in the tradition of hatha (sun and moon) yoga.
The classes are slow and careful leading to the gradual cultivation of strength, alignment of the muscular and skeletal systems, freedom in the breath and vitality in body and mind.
The classes are suitable for all levels from complete beginners to more advanced students who want to explore the full potential of each step of the sequence of poses that together create the transformational potential of sun salutations.
The classes also Incorporate meditation, breath work and an introduction to Qi Gong (energy cultivation practices), which compliments the regenerative power of the sun salutation practice. With a regular practice, there is a feeling of coming back to life as mind, breath, body and life force (Qi) come into alignment.

Get ready for the weekend – a perfect way to de-stress at the end of the week. This is a slow and safe, deeply relaxing class introducing and breaking down a range of spinal release postures and breath work for beginners as well as more experienced students. All levels are welcome.
The spinal release practice combines breath work with deep relaxation in a slow and careful sequence of postures designed to release tension in the whole body. The practice brings relief to aching backs, shoulders and neck and restores the nervous system to a state of equilibrium, creating the conditions for the natural healing potential of the body to unfold. There is nothing like the state of peace and calm that arises from the spinal release practice and the cumulation of this class on a daily basis is transformational for everyone but especially those students who suffer from chronic physical or emotional tension and/or insomnia.
Private Class: One-to-One
IN PERSON IN LONDON ON REQUEST
| £60 per hour (appointments of two hours are usual)
Do you feel that there is a particular issue coming up in your life, or in your yoga or meditation practice that you would like to begin to explore in a one-to-one session? Or perhaps you would like to begin to develop your own home practice and would like some advice about how to craft your sequence or routine.
One-to-one sessions make possible a careful enquiry into the knowledge that is to be gained from the limitations, frustrations, injuries, particular areas of resistance, or curiosity that arise as your practice evolves over time.
Silent Walk
8.30 - 10.30 AM
IN PERSON IN LONDON
First Saturday of each month | £5 donation to Papyrus
On the first Saturday of each month, I lead a silent walk from the flower gardens by The Homestead Café in Beckenham Place Park through the park and woodlands in a circular hike. Silent walking is another method for bringing attention to the regulation of the breath, and quietening of the mind. Silent walking strengthen the relationship between the heart and the lungs and cultivates appreciation of the connection between ourselves, others and the beauty and healing potential of the natural world around us.
