\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNot at all, my classes are full of all ages, sizes and abilities. My wish is that you can come and\nbenefit from this practice the way I have. For many years I have been teaching Yoga\nTherapy\/Gentle Yoga on friday and saturday mornings. They are a lovely mix of ages, abilities\nand some of these students have auto-immune conditions such as Crohns disease, arthritis,\nosteoporosis, migraine, asthma, some were even in different stages of cancer treatment, the list\ngoes on. A full yoga practice can work on keeping our body and mind healthy, help keep stress\nand anxiety at bay and help us to loosen out physically which always affects our mental state. It\nalso helps us befriend our bodies, and connect with them, when was the last time you did a full\ncheck in of how your body feels? Seriously, anyone can practice yoga!\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tYES MOST DEFINITELY! To me yoga and meditation are the ultimate practices in self-care.\nWe cannot pour from an empty cup, we need to take care of ourselves so that we can care for\nothers in our lives. We all need to move to keep healthy and flexible, and yoga, once practiced\nin a safe way is such a great way to literally get out of our overworked too busy minds and pay\nattention to what's actually happening in the body..At the same time, I\u2019m focussing on matching\nmovements to my breath, and in my experience, this has always had the knock on effect of\nfeeling a great sense of calm and ease sometimes even for a day or two after my practice.\nMeditation is taking care of my mind and calming my emotions\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAbsolutely, remember we can even do our yoga practice in a chair. Just get in contact with me\nso that we can come up with a plan and talk about what poses etc need modifications,\nremember that every body is different, and even from day to day your body itself will feel\ndifferent, so we find the practice that best suits us!\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAbsolutely not! Flexibility is a by-product of yoga. Oh, and did I say that it is great for your joints\ntoo? A lot of yoga poses are weight-bearing, which means we actually get to strengthen the\nvery bones of our body. As we age, bone health becomes an issue. Also, ALL YOGA POSES\nCAN BE MODIFIED TO SUIT YOUR OWN BODY. This is an absolute passion of mine, trying to\nfind new ways to do poses so that we are all getting the essence of a pose, even if we are all\nmaking different shapes. We listen to our own bodies wisdom so everyone is at different stages\nof any yoga practice.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFirstly, contact the teacher if you have any ailments or injuries that need to be minded on the\nmat. Try not to eat an hour, or even better two hours before your class. Leave your ego at the\ndoor! Do not worry about what anyone else is doing in the room, everyone has different abilities\nwhich are as different as our bodies. If you're comparing yourself to the \u201cold\u201d very flexible lady\nbeside you, remember she might have been practicing yoga for the last 50 years!\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tContact me and we can decide on which class suits, some classes are more gentle than others,\nhowever in all classes, modifications are given so we change the yoga pose to suit your body\nnot the other way round. I give alternatives throughout all classes and the idea is that you listen\nto your own body\u2019s innate wisdom, once we start to tune into our own bodies it's hard to go\nwrong. I\u2019m always happy to connect and see what works for my students so text me, email or\ncall me!\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\tAbsolutely not!
