Yoga Sessions: what to expect
Our aim is for you to enjoy a well-earned, healthy
holiday in gorgeous surroundings, with the opportunity to practice
yoga & meditation twice per day if you wish. There is no compulsion to attend all sessions, but they will build sequentially as your stay unfolds.
Mornings will include creative, flowing asana sequences, sun salutations, and invigorating pranayama (breathing) practices, with time for deep relaxation.
Afternoons will be a gentle, individually-tailored session to restore your body using props to give a totally yummy boost of energy and sense of well-being!
My teaching includes all the tools of yoga (postures/breathing/focus/relaxation) to lead you in a spiritual and holistic practice. Asana (posture) practice is adapted to your physical and energetic state on the day. My prime concern is your safety. Classes will be adapted to suit all levels of experience - even for those with injuries - and will take place at locations in and around the resort chosen for their ability to inspire your yoga.
