Yoga

Mindfulness infused yoga in Kent

Yoga (meaning union) is an ancient system of physical and mental health refined over thousands of years.  It is not a religion or creed and can be practised by anyone of any age.  The regular practice of Yoga helps to develop physical strength and flexibility, concentrates the mind and teaches us breathing and relaxation techniques; all of which can be used to bring balance into our daily lives.

Yoga should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age or ability.  I particularly like the words of Indian Yoga Teacher Pattabhi Jois, he highlights what Yoga offers us:

“Yoga is an internal practice, the rest is just a circus.  The postures are a way of getting you connected to your body.
We don’t use our bodies to get into the pose, we use the pose to get into our bodies.
How we feel in a pose is much more important than how it looks.”

Yoga Classes include:

  • asanas (postures) practiced mindfully to strengthen & stretch the body
  • pranayama (breath control) to improve respiration & general wellbeing
  • concentration/meditation to find stillness and peace
  • guided relaxation to completely rejuvenate the body and de-stress the mind
I aim to teach yoga so that it can be used on and off the mat to help balance the effects of everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to know?

The first few relaxing minutes of the class are very important so please try to arrive a 5−10 minutes earlier so that you can benefit from this.

Outdoor classes have a meeting point and we walk into the forest from there so, early arrival is really good so we can walk together, settling into our surroundings as we go.

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing made of soft material works best   i.e. tracksuit/leggings/t-shirt.  You will need warm socks and a blanket for relaxation if indoors. Bring some extra layers to keep warm.

Outdoor classes are subject to all weathers and suitable warm, waterproof layers will keep you feeling comfortable.  Full details will be given when booking.

Please bring a yoga mat and two blocks if you have them.

Outdoor classes may not always require a mat as this depends on the season.  We often use props like trees, benches etc. A small waterproof mat/picnic rug is often useful to sit or lay down Autumn Winter time.  In Summer time we use yoga mats as much as possible.

In general, yoga is suitable for all ages and abilities and can be adapted for most physical conditions.  However, it is important to let me know of any health problems.  This includes any major difficulties in the past, if you are currently dealing with the medical profession, or if you are on any medication.  Health problems might include:

High or low blood pressure, recent surgery, artificial joints, epilepsy, diabetes, asthma, arthritis, cancer, ulcers, hernias, serious injury or accident, problems with the back, the heart, knees, eyes, ears, mental health.

A health form will be provided when booking. If your health status changes during the time that you are attending my yoga class, please inform me and always seek advice from your doctor if you have not taken any physical exercise recently or you are unsure whether yoga is suitable for you.

If you are unsure as to whether you may be affected, please get in touch.

Allow at least 2 hours after eating before your yoga practice.

If you are pregnant, taking painkillers, have had an operation recently, or have any other health concerns.

Yoga is not a competitive sport, working at your own pace is the key to doing what is right for your own body.  Yoga should be practised mindfully, with full concentration of body, breath and mind.  You should not experience any pain. 

Take care of yourself, work at your own pace and safely within your own limits. Relax, have fun and enjoy your yoga.
