Teen Yoga

I started yoga aged 13 when I felt frustrated with my parents, myself and my changing body and appearance. Yoga helped me carve out what I feel is a rewarding and rich life. I have always therefore had a strong passion and desire to introduce yoga to teenagers as a vital life tool.

Teen Yoga Course of 3 : I have course of 3 classes planned and ready to deliver. I intend to run this at both Upper Hall, Trinity Center, Guildford and St John's, Woking. Let me know if your teen or a teen in your life is interested and I'll get the course scheduled.

Teen Yoga in Schools : If you have contacts with anyone at school that may be interested in me bringing teen yoga to their educational space can you either pass my contact details on to them or please let me know their contact details and I'll reach out. The course of 3 or the workshop 'Beat Exam Stress' might be of interest or simply a rolling class with different themes each week. Always lively, always engaging, always fun.

That inner stillness thing

Lastest blog is up. Excerpt below;

That ‘inner stillness thing’. What is that? I call it the big magic. You connect to that inner stillness thing when you connect fully I feel to being in the state of yoga. Yoga is not about doing. Yoga is about being. Being fully present and really listening to your body. Getting out of your head. Medical science now fully understanding the benefits of yoga and mindfulness. Yoga is unique. Yes, it’s physical but as a regular practitioner of yoga, it’s not the physical that gives the greatest benefit. In our over stimulated word, it’s that connection to the ‘inner stillness thing’ that gives us the ability to re-base line. Letting go of stress and anxiety. Feeling more satisfied with our lives and more satisfied with our relationships with ourselves and others.
