There are many ways in which Yoga may be defined. It is a scientific method of self-development, a holistic practice for the mind, body and soul, and a science of life. Yoga originated in India about 5 thousand years ago, and has been practised daily as a spiritual discipline by those seeking a deep understanding of themselves and of the world around them ever since.
Vinyasa yoga moves steadily from pose to pose in sequences of movements synchronized with the breath, often pausing to hold poses for various lengths of time while maintaining the rhythmic flow of the the breath. Unlike most approaches to hatha yoga, which have a fixed system, vinyasa yoga is not a system.

Hot yoga is yoga practised in a heated studio of up to 40 degrees centigrade. You can develop your strength, flexibility and balance and fitness levels to a much greater degree than the usual class practise. This is because of the specific heat and humidity that is practised in India, its native country of origin. Hot Yoga keeps your yoga practise authentic. The overall aims are the same; to increase flexibility, improve posture and achieve all over body conditioning.
My career has been pretty varied: teaching maths in secondary schools, being a class teacher in a middle school, teaching English as a Foreign Language to adults and working with home-educated children within a small school project (an amazing experience). And of course, teaching yoga (since 2002). Now I am lucky enough to teach yoga in a beautiful studio at the bottom of my garden in Chichester.

I currently run a Yin Inspired Yoga class in Ryde, Isle of Wight, Tuesday nights - see Classes and One to Ones for information. In yoga the edge is the place of challenge and change. It may be high; it may be scary; but it is necessary. Yoga has been a constant in my life over recent years, and something of immeasurable benefit to me. My hope now is to share that with others.
