give flat lean abdominals, strong healthy backs, and total relaxation for the body

The most common translation of the Sanskrit word yoga is “union”. Yoga is a practice and a philosophy that originated in India 6000 years ago. Yoga works to develop every human faculty (physical, emotional and mental) to bring them together harmoniously. Yoga has been described as a science of living. It combines physical movement and postures, basic and skilled breathing techniques and relaxation, Yoga stretches,strengthens, tones, aligns and improves the health of the body. Yoga enhances awareness of your body and breath, and can help you to develop a state of mental calm and emotional stability.
I teach Hatha Yoga and vary my classes each week. I focus on alignment and breathing in order to help release tension in the mind and body and to help participants to develop greater body intelligence.
Classes run for 1 hour. Please bring your own mat and blanket & props as required
