"I have definitely noticed an improvement in my balance which used to be excellent when I was younger but was definitely worsening as I aged."

As we get older our body changes - joints get stiffer, everything feels a little creakier, our balance worsens and it gets more challenging to maintain fitness levels. It is so important, however, to keep active and able so we can live the life we want to live and do all the things we want to do, especially when we finally have more time to spend on ourselves. My gentle yoga class could be just right for you. Join me on Thursday mornings in Hampton Hill or view one of my on-demand videos and practise at home.

Perhaps you used to practise yoga years ago and then stopped when life got too busy, or you always wanted to do it but never had the time. Now you have the time why not join this friendly class to keep your body strong, mobile and flexible and your mind calm and relaxed.

"It keeps my body flexible, improving strength and mobility." ​

This class is for you if you're looking for:

- better flexibility and mobility
- maintaining and developing your fitness
- better balance
- increased muscle tone and core strength
- ease in stiff joints
- time for you
- space and time to unwind
- a really good stretch
- an improved immune system
- better posture
- a good balance between activity and relaxation
​- the chance to learn something new
- a friendly community to be part of

"The breath exercises calm the mind and the final relaxation lets you leave the class balanced and invigorated, ready to face the challenges of the day (and the world)".

This gentle yoga class works with classic yoga postures (asana), breathwork (pranayama), occasional  meditation and always a relaxation at the start and end of class. Good for your mind, body and soul. 

​This is a mat-based practice that is slower than the Mixed Level class, with less getting up and down from the floor. I offer lots of options enabling you to work at the level that is right for you and allowing for any issues with hips, knees or shoulders.

We always work with balance and strength as it is so important to maintain these as we age. FYI, we don't practise the regular Sun Salutations in this class, so we avoid the lunge/plank/8 limb pose/cobra/downward dog vinyasa (if you know, you know - don't worry if that didn't make sense!). 

If it's helpful I offer props (such as a chair shown here) to help us feel safe, steady and supported in our poses. There is never any judgement, pressure or expectation. I encourage everyone to work at the level that is right for them.

This is a 75 minute Mixed Level Hatha Yoga class suitable for all levels (beginners welcome), abilities and experience. I always talk through the poses step by step and offer modifications to suit all. Please note this is a mat-based class and some of the class is done seated on the floor, some standing and we start and end lying down in relaxation. We practise together on Thursday mornings in Hampton Hill. Videos available for rent too so you can practise at home at a time that suits you.
