Move into Yoga – yoga for everyone

Something amazing happens to you when you practice yoga regularly over a period of time: your life flows more easily, you see more clearly, you are more flexible in mind and body. You discover more and more and learn to explore the world within you.

Try Colette’s mixed ability class on Wednesday 7.30 to 8.30 pm at the St Leonards Studio, The Old Bank, 3 Grand parade, St Leonards on Sea, TN38 ODD.  Drop-in costs  £7.00.

In the class you will experience a sense of equilibrium. You’ll work on creating a space of stillness within you. Focusing on your alignment and increasing flexibility in your spine. You’ll work with your breath to feel more energised and you’ll develop increased clarity.

Colette teaches yoga following the Viniyoga tradition of T.K.V. Desikachar and his father T. Krishnamacharya. Viniyoga aims to develop your self-awareness by working with your body, breath and mind. Through yoga you can achieve a still mind and a deeper understanding of who you are.

The key features of the Viniyoga approach are:

• careful attention to and precise application of the breath
• adaptation of posture
• dynamic as well as static posture work
• careful sequencing of postures

The postures allow for mindful physical movement using breath. The range of postures are accessible for beginners and offer experienced students the scope to develop their practice.

The inspiration behind Viniyoga comes from the ancient wisdom of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, written over two thousand years ago, which have resonance and relevance to today’s world.

Colette also offers one to one lessons to help you develop your own personal practice, and can set up a class at your workplace.
