As well as adult classes open to all, I teach tailored classes, prenatal classes and one-to-one sessions. Sessions last 90 minutes, with no more than 4 to 5 students.

In a class we exercise every part of the body, stimulating the respiratory and circulatory systems. The asanas (poses) are taught in a balanced sequence which involves standing, sitting, lying, forward and back bending, twisting and inversions. Poses are adapted to suit the needs of each student, with lots of individual attention from your instructor. It is not competitive.

Properly executed, these asanas can improve muscular strength and tone, flexibility, and remove impurities by stimulating blood and lymphatic flow. Correct placement of the feet, knees and hips helps to ground and ensure alignment.

Physical benefits include increased flexibility, building strength and improving balance.

Gently lengthening the spine and doing each asana with emphasis on the breath facilitates proper breathing and prevents injury which could be caused by forcing oneself into the pose.
