What are yoga classes with Chris like?
My yoga classes apply modern therapeutic techniques to the ancient wisdom of Hatha Yoga. We start and end with relaxation and breathing, sometimes quite meditatively. During the class the golden rule is No Pain; if something hurts, it’s a sign to ease off, don’t strive, just breath.
Gradually we mobilise joints, wake up our bodies, and use a sequence of standing postures to develop core strength and flexibility that will help us in daily lives. Throughout, we are learning to listen to our own bodies, to accept and be kind to ourselves. I hope you leave my classes relaxed, yet invigorated.
What to bring?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing such as leggings, shorts or tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt. A shawl or blanket can be nice to snuggle under during relaxation at the end of the class. Mats are provided or you can bring your own. It's best not to eat a heavy meal in the three hours before class - have a banana if you need something to keep you going.
‘Learn to listen to your body when it whispers so you can hear it before it screams!’

Yoga at work
Yoga classes at work are a great way to boost morale and stay healthy at work. My workplace yoga classes can help reduce neck and shoulder tension, stress and RSI. I can tailor classes to fit into a lunchtime - or something a little longer to help people relax at the end of the day. |
