Aware Yoga & Mindfulness

I am offering private sessions to guide and mentor you on your personal yogic journey.

I can come to your lounge in person or via zoom.

Please contact me to arrange private one-to-one sessions or get your friends and/or neighbours together and let us set up a 6 week life changing yoga course catering to your needs from your own home.

This is for you, if you

• want to learn effective tools to reduce anxiety, stress or overwhelm

• want to find effective ways to cope with chronic pain

• are new to yoga and want to introduce a wholesome practice into your day that supports you physically, mentally and spiritually

• want to work on your breathing for health reasons

• want to learn classic yogic pranayama practices methodically and efficiently

• want to know more about meditation and how to develop a steady meditation practice

• have been practicing yoga asana for some time and long to learn more about the “juicy” stuff yoga has to offer

• want to use yoga as spiritual practice (sadhana)

• or are interested in learning about the psychology of the chakras.

Move - Asana

Yoga aims to balance body and mind. I teach physical practices (yoga asana) to release tensions, mobilise the joints and bring awareness to how the body feels from the inside out - rather than focusing on how it looks from the outside.

Awareness and Curiosity are the key.

You are invited to pay attention to the breath and be curious how your body feels when moving or holding a position.

You will be supported in fine-tuning or adapting each of the practices so they suit your ability and physique.

With time, the quality of movement and awareness will change and expand. Your energy will flow more freely, and the joints will feel more nourished and ‘oiled’ from the inside out. :)

Breathe - Pranayma

The breath is our most powerful ally, but unfortunately, we are rarely aware of it.

With regular practice you will become more attuned to the way you breathe and how you can use the breath to stay balanced, relaxed and grounded.

The practice of yogic breathing, named pranayama, aims to harness and increase your vital life force. Prana = life force or shakti and yama = control of.

You will be introduced to the practices of pranayama in a methodical and systematic way. Consistency and patience are the key ingredients for a successful and safe practice. The power of prana should never be underestimated.

Did you know?

• Exhaling slowly activates the relaxation response in the mind-body system and instantly calms our nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety.

• A few rounds of deep breathing into the thoracic area (ribcage), on the other hand, enlivens our system, improving focus and concentration.

Relax the Mind - Meditation

Relaxation and meditation practices are tools that, with appropriate guidance, can be learned by everyone, even the most restless or busy-minded person.

I teach mindfulness, a variety of meditation techniques including yoga nidra, a progressive relaxation meditation.
