About My Classes

 Our journey with yoga begins with the body. The moment we start to experience ourselves as separate from the world around us, and separate from the flow of consciousness that initiated life within our cells, we become disconnected and misaligned from our true purpose and potential. To unify we must fully embody the flow of life that pulses within and all throughout the natural world. 

Vinyasa can be defined as a wave or cycle possessing a continual stream of consciousness, from beginning, to middle and end.

The (wave) principle of vinyasa can be applied to many things:

• A sequence of yoga poses connected by breath
• The varying cycles within one’s own life
• The unfoldment of life within Nature (e.g. the blossoming cycle of a rose)

To practice vinyasa yoga is therefore a relearning of this natural state or ability, to easefully ride the ebb and flow of life’s many currents that pulse through our bodies and within our cells (microcosm), to the cycles that govern the universe (macrocosm).

The macro-cosmic vinyasas of life include:

• Solar vinyasa: earth’s orbit around the sun
• Lunar vinyasa: moon’s orbit around the earth
• Seasonal vinyasa: equinoxes and solstices
• Weekly vinyasa: the flow of living in rhythm with community life
• Daily vinyasa: the rhythms of daily life in each 24-hour cycle

Even the simplest action, the continuous cycle of our breath, is a vinyasa, a wave current.

When we can flow with these currents, not against them, we learn how to harness the ability to live in the here and now, fully present, aware, alive and enlivened.

Yoga with me is an invitation to breathe, align and reconnect with your inner and radiant self. Explore the subtle energetics of movement as meditation, for greater health and vitality on all levels. Be gently and skilfully guided through the intelligent sequencing of yoga asana, mudra, meditation, pranayama and relaxation practices, with (optional) hands-on assists where applicable.
