sians yoga brighton

Om namah shivaya,

Greetings. My name is Sian, and I am a 28 year old Hatha yoga teacher based in Brighton, UK.

I first came to discover yoga at the young age of 13, when it was offered as a sport alternative for our Wednesday games afternoon. At that time, I jumped on any excuse to get out of doing competitive team sports! A good 15 years has past since then and yoga has gradually become the central part of my life. My practice has continually grown and developed; I find it captivating how yoga has remained a constant source of inspiration and positivity for me, and am honoured to be able to share what I have learnt, and continue to learn, with those I teach.

I am nearing completion of a 500-hour teaching diploma with the British Wheel of Yoga. This is a well-respected organisation, with the largest yoga membership in the UK. The course explores both the practical and theoretical aspects of yoga, including anatomy & physiology and its history & philosophy. Recently, I returned from a visit to an ashram in southern India, which was a wonderful opportunity and has further helped to develop my understanding of the traditions and practices of yoga.

I have been giving classes since the summer of 2012, welcoming all ages and abilities. My classes are gentle, yet powerful, with emphasis on the physical asanas. I include breathing and meditation technique, as well as relaxation.

Alongside teaching yoga I also work as a science teacher and as such have a keen interest in the mechanics of the body and find great pleasure in the science of yoga, regularly attending courses given by specialists in this field.

Please take a look around my blog, and feel free to get in touch with any questions you may have (sian@siansyoga.co.uk).

Namaste,

Om shanti x
