style of yoga

A member of Yoga Alliance Professionals (UK), I am a certified teacher specialising in the Vinyasa style. Yoga Journal explains that – ‘Vinyasa’ is derived from the Sanskrit term 'nyasa', which means “to place” and the prefix ‘vi’, “in a special way” -  hence why, it’s often also referred to as ‘Dynamic Yoga’ or ‘Flow Yoga’ because the style is characterised by a sequence of postures that you move through, seamlessly, using breath to guide and lead.
Some schools of yoga follow a specific system, but since Vinyasa does not belong to any school, an element of creative expression naturally evolves from this style. In other words,  the Vinyasa class you tried one day may feel very different to another the next day. Perhaps why Vinyasa has become the most popular style of yoga offered in London studios today. 
​

Public & private groupS

My Vinyasa group classes can be defined in 2 broad categories – strong and dynamic or slow and nurturing – both of which are tailored to suit a mixed level class so that students of different experience can follow and equally benefit from the practice; incorporating elements of pranayama (breath-work), strength training, movement awareness, mindfulness  and relaxation in every class, offering a well-rounded and balanced practice so students feel refreshed and rejuvenated after the class. 
​

1-to-1 LESSONS

With 1-to-1 lessons, I am led by the needs of the student. We began with a quick conversation to discuss what the student wishes to achieve through yoga – greater flexibility or an increased range-of-movement for example, or areas of the body you wish to focus on such as a stronger core or reducing hamstrings tightness. The objective can be as simple as wanting to improve your yoga practice or reaching a level of familiarity with yoga so you feel comfortable to enter a yoga studio and follow a group practice, a daunting experience for some. The lessons are guided by your objectives and reviewed as we progress.
A practice space can be organised for you or there's also the option of home visits or online lessons.  ​
