Yoga tuition
It's not about making pretty shapes... It's about welcoming the totality of our beings, and feeling it all.
Feeling horrendously stiff? Don't worry! As long as we can breathe, we can practise yoga. I offer a hatha flow, which means we will move through asanas/postures, and develop awareness of our breathing throughout.
We move to improve strength and flexibility, but never at the cost of core stability and long term health.
There is a healthy warming pace to each class, but we never strain or push. Each session begins and ends with a simple guided relaxation. If you have health issues or painful bits, speak to me first and I will tailor the session for you. I keep sessions one-to-one or small groups, so you have my attention and care throughout.
If the weather permits, let's take it outside!
We can hold our sessions in the fresh air on the beach, in your garden or woodland space. I have plenty of spare yoga mats and provide a hot herbal tea and honey drink at the end of every session.
Yin or Yang is your choice
The trainings I have been lucky enough to receive include a very strong, ‘classical’ Raja Dhiraja yoga, and the second in a more playful, rehabilitative style of yoga, in the spirit of Vanda Scaravelli. The Scaravelli style is perhaps more appropriate for our overworked and achey bodies! Whatever your experience or goals, unconditional positive regard is an absolute given in my sessions. Yoga practise can become a real source of energy and encouragement.
I am not in competition with anyone else. I run my own race. I have no desire to play the game of being better than everyone else around me, in any way, shape or form. I just aim to improve, to become a better person than I was. That's me and I'm free.

Pema:
"...your classes... are perfect! I love the relaxations at the beginning and end. The general pace is fab, not too easy or too difficult! The clarity of your instructions is wonderful and I feel fully supported with you as my teacher :-) Your studio room is tiny, but lovely ... and has a fantastic feel to it...
Just had such an amazing yoga sesh this morning, in fact it was my favourite class EVER! Thank you so much Phoebe for your humour and loveliness, and total willingness to go with the flow! I feel great, and I just wish Wednesdays would come round more often! Hooray! xxx
ONE to ONE YOGA: If you are uncertain about jumping into a class, or if you have complex physical stuff you are working through, you may prefer a a more tailored session to start with. You can have a basic one on one session, where you get my full attention, and specific step by step guidance.
CORPORATE YOGA: An opportunity to ease stress within the workforce. 30 or 45 minute lunchtime or evening yoga classes.
PLEASE WEAR: Loose, comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Yoga is performed barefoot or with grippy socks.
TRANSFORMATIONAL YOGA PLAN
If you have the determination to GET FIT, RELEASE EXCESS WEIGHT, and FIND INNER PEACE and HAPPINESS, the most surefire way of getting yoga to WORK FOR YOU is to make a DAILY commitment to practice. I can help you to develop a plan that you can continue at home, in between classes. We can work out a pace and plan which is tailored to your needs and revise when necessary. Spend 90 minutes with me and I will develop a plan for you on A3 which you can follow at home as your guide.
