From My Home in Your Home

 Yoga for Mind - Body Wellbeing

Yoga helps us to learn about and ultimately guide the interplay between mind and body.  In today's world it's important  we understand how we can positively influence our wellbeing through the practice of yoga.  Inherently therapeutic, yoga techniques can be used to release tension and stress, build stability and strength, promote relaxation and boost immunity . From complete beginner to the more experienced practitioner,  Yoga for Mind- Body Wellbeing can help you unplug and connect in a more meaningful way.​

Online Classes

​
​Tuesday: 10.00am 
Yoga for a Healthy, Happy Core  : 
 A healthy functioning core takes more than working to strengthen you abs or pelvic floor. As in most systems of the body the relationship between the systems I call " team core"  affect more the team itself, impacting posture, alignment, mood, our breath, the health of our lower back, gut and more.  Specific core practices, a yoga practice incorporating these systems and myofascial release make up the format of this class. 


Tuesday: 6.30pm
Yoga to Restore Balance : 
Almost all forms of yoga help us feel better physically and emotionally. In this class we integrate the tools and interventions of yoga, myofascial release, breath work and relaxation into our practice to make our yoga therapeutic and  help restore balance to both  body and mind .

Thursday: 6.45pm
Switch On Your Off Switch: 
We may not be able to control the external stresses life brings our way but we can learn resilience. This class uses mindful movement, breath work and relaxation to access our natural dimmer switch.  Marrying contemplative techniques with asana can be a powerful intervention to help us respond to and remove stress and tension from the body, and promote emotional wellbeing - yoga to build resilience.

In each episode I share a  simple breath work, yoga, mindfulness or other technique that can help change negative patterns and give us power. Power to shift away from overactive stress responses and "switch on" our inbuilt resilience system that helps reduce tension, stress & anxiety, improve mood, aid sleep, regain focus, ease digestive issues and more.
