Calm and Cosy Online Yoga Mondays at 6pm
I am currently offering a weekly online gentle class for you to experience rest and relaxation in the comfort of your own home, from now until Christmas.
Please prepare your home space in a way conducive to relaxation, and gather up some pillows, cushions and blankets to help make yourself comfortable for the restorative poses later in the class. You can also adjust your lighting or perhaps burn some incense, whatever sets the mood for you.
We’ll start with some movement or breathwork to prepare mind and body for stillness and deep rest. Restorative Yoga is a slow practice of largely seated or lying down postures. I encourage you to use bolsters/cushions and blankets to help find ease in each asana (posture), inviting mental and physical release over a period of 5-10 minutes. This allows the body to soften, open and relax deeply, and the mind to become quieter. In this restful state, the nervous system is given the chance to shift into ‘repair and renew’ mode, making Restorative Yoga a profoundly nurturing practice, particularly helpful during times of stress and fatigue, as well as being the perfect complement to a regular more dynamic yoga practice or athletic pursuit.
Private yoga
I am available for completely personalised, private sessions according to your needs and interests, in Oxford or online.
This might be helpful if you’re a nervous or curious beginner, if you have an established practice you want some support with, there’s a particular pose that’s challenging you, or you have an interest in yoga philosophy or meditation that isn’t satisfied in group classes. I can also simply guide you through a morning or evening practice to suit your schedule, if getting to a class is difficult for you.
Just ask and I’ll see if I can help (or I will willingly try to refer you on if I don’t think I can meet your needs). Email me to discuss options.
