Yoga is a really great way to improve your well-being and reduce your stress levels at the same time as becoming more flexible and increasing your strength and stamina. Yoga can be practised byeveryone, of any age and of any ability or fitness. People often think that they need to be flexible to be able to practice yoga but that's not true. You do not have to be flexible to come to a yoga class. In fact, quite the reverse. You become more flexible through your yoga practice.

You have trained long and hard, practiced diligently and now you have doubts - about yourself, your teaching and commitment. What is happening? The answer is: you are practicing yoga. Self-enquiry,reflection and doubting your intentions are the manifestation of a deeper relationship, that can withstand and flourish through enquiry and emotional turmoil. Compare your relationship with yoga with other meaningful relationships that endure through change and even conflict.

Classes help you get in touch with your true nature. You can be happy with who you are rather than who you think you should be. And when you are in tune with yourself you will find it easier to makethe right choices. Choosing to live healthily and respectfully so we can enjoy more energy and zest for life. We can be in touch with what really matters to us. With passion and purpose we are motivated. I bring over 20 years of professional practice of healing, hypnotherapy and NLP.
