 I teach Yoga mainly in the Sivananda style so a typical class will incorporate the Sun Salutation exercise ('Surya Namaskar'), Asanas (Postures), Pranayama (Breathing Practices) and Savasan (Relaxation in the Corpse position). However, I am also influenced by the postures from other schools of Yoga such as Iyengar, Vinyasa and Ashtanga when I feel it will enhance a student’s experience.
Sivananda Yoga is a style that was brought to the West in the 1950s by Swami Vishnu Devananda, who also opened the many Sivananda Yoga ashrams established worldwide.
Pranayama helps to cleanse the lungs, remove toxins and develop mental focus and balance. There is a focus on correct abdominal breathing throughout the class.
The Sun Salutation exercise is a sequence of twelve flowing movements practised in synchronisation with the breath that helps to warm the body and prepare it for the yoga asanas (yoga postures) that follow. The yoga postures are based around a range of movements including inversions, forward and backward bends and twisting and sideways bends.
I am able to offer comprehensive courses for those who are completely new to Yoga or those who have not practiced for a while and classes aimed at intermediate to advanced students.
Yoga Tuition
In contrast to typical Yoga classes I offer focused Yoga tuition. This allows for one to one teaching in my small private Yoga studio, the comfort of your own home or another suitable venue of your choice.
If you are coming to my studio the charge will be £29.00 for a 1 hour class (£39 for 1 ½ hours). For coming to your home or any other venue in the Ipswich area the charge is £39.00 for a 1 hour class (£49.00 for a 1½ hours class).
If you are living outside Ipswich travel costs and the time can be negotiated.
Please contact me for the details. For this set cost I can teach up to 4 students in my Yoga studio and in your own venue numbers will depend on the space that you have available.
The tuition classes include an element of Yoga stretches in the style of Thai Yoga massage making them a uniquely relaxing Yoga experience
You pay a flat rate per hour, so whether you prefer a one-to-one or you want to share your class with family, friends or colleagues, the cost is the same regardless of location, group size or time of day.
There is no minimum time commitment, and you can always cancel an appointment without charge
Or perhaps you would like to organise a regular group class with your friends, family or colleagues. Group classes can be organised at my Yoga studio or your home or any other venue
As part of my One to One range I offer Child/Teen and Parent Yoga classes as well, which can help you bond and grow as a healthy and happy family.
