Mindful yoga emphasises moving slowly and with full attention. The slower pace encourages people to focus and requires strength and balance, which counteract the impact of modern lifestyles, which often involve high levels of stress, distraction and many hours sitting in front of screens.

Yoga also improves spinal health & mobility and releases tension from muscles. Range of movement is increased, and the joints become strong and stable. Also, when we restore our natural patterns of deeper breathing, this improves posture and regulates the nervous system, supporting restful sleep.

In recent years, I’ve discovered that yoga is most effective when blended with functional movement, Qi Gong and Somatics. These systems are now incorporated into my classes along with the use of props and adjustments to adapt the practice for each individual, meaning everyone can benefit without strain. My heartfelt desire is for everyone to leave with an enhanced sense of well-being and calm.
