A HOLISTIC APPROACH
Yoga & Meditation
Yoga and meditation are complementary practices; through them you can voluntarily control internal states and develop awareness and self realisation.
WHAT YOGA MEANS
More than movement.
Yoga means “union” and is often interpreted as a method of physical, mental and spiritual disciplines. More than 2,000 years ago, Patanjali collated the practice of yoga into the Yoga Sutra, a collection of 195 statements that serve as a philosophical guidebook for most yoga practiced today. It outlines the eight limbs of yoga:
Yama
Restraints
Niyama
Observances
Asana
Posture
Pranayama
Breathing
Pratyahara
Sense withdrawal
Dharana
Focused concentration
Dhyana
Meditation
Samadhi
Absorption
Together we can explore each limb or concentrate on one depending what you wish to achieve.
MY APPROACH
Finding what supports you.
My teaching is rooted primarily in Kundalini Yoga and Yin/Restorative Yoga, but rather than following one particular style or approach, I tailor each practice to the individual and what you would like to achieve.
Drawing on the different limbs of yoga, a session may incorporate movement and physical postures, breathwork, mindfulness, meditation or periods of stillness and deep relaxation. These practices can be used individually or combined, depending on what is most supportive for you at that particular time.
BODY AND MIND
Creating space to slow down
At the heart of my teaching is the use of yoga as a healing modality; a way of bringing greater awareness to both body and mind, regulating the nervous system and creating space to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Through conscious movement, breath and stillness, we learn to step away from the constant activity of the mind and bring our attention back to the present moment.
OVER TIME
What the practice can support
Over time, this greater awareness can help us recognise habitual patterns in the way we think, feel and respond, creating an opportunity to approach ourselves and our lives differently. Whether you are looking for greater physical wellbeing, support with stress and sleep, more balance and calm, or simply a deeper connection with yourself, the practice can be adapted to meet you where you are.
