Yoga Kind
Yoga Kind is run by Polly. I have been practising yoga for 30 years and teaching for 5 and a half years. My style is hatha (electic) with considerations for comfortable and appropriate practice for the individual body/correct alignment. Safety of practice are priorities for me and my class is carefully planned; I believe that a class of miscellaneous postures done incorrectly will cause more harm then good.
I offer a modification for every single posture so that the yoga is suitable for all.
I trained with the Real Yoga School (500 hours), the British School (both accredited by the Independent Yoga Network), Viniyoga foundation level and Pranayama foundation level; total training duration of 5 years plus ongoing CPD (recently with the expert Donna Farhi);experience gained over many years. I try to bring a little humour to my class. You will find that you work as hard as you need. A typical 90 min class will involve up to 70 minutes of warm up and poses, 10 minutes of breathing practices and 10 minutes of relaxation.

At the end of a yoga session with Polly, I feel refreshed in body and mind. The practice of yoga has also been very beneficial for the chronic low back pain which I have had for over 20 years. After 6 months of yoga, I found that I no longer needed regular painkillers. The yoga helps me keep going on a daily basis, with easy to follow exercises to do at home, if you want to!

It is a joy to find that I still have much to learn, and a pleasure to be in good company and be confidently-led. One of the best things I ever did was to take up yoga!

Note that I have received permission from valued members of my class to post on Yoga hub the testimoniials that they have provided – these can also be found on my website.- Polly x
Polly’s classes are a really enjoyable all round experience ranging from stretching those underused muscles; very beneficial breathing exercises; extremely interesting information about the philosophy of yoga and last, but not least, the fantastic relaxation; all of which sends you home a different person to the one that began the lesson. Polly is also a very kind, helpful and enthusiastic teacher whose classes are well-prepared, giving us tremendous variety from week to week, providing different parts of our body and their possible weaknesses with some therapeutic exercise.
You are in for a treat when you join!

Yoga helps maintain a healthy body and mind. The movements practiced and breathing techniques help to keep the body supple and also get rid of toxins. The breathing practice has a calming effect and may reduce feelings of stress. I find practising Yoga improves my sleep, with less disturbed nights. Joining a Yoga class is very beneficial to one`s health and wellbeing.

Polly leads her yoga classes with patience, experience and a sense of humour; providing a relaxed and enjoyable environment in which to practice – yoga with Polly has become an essential part of my often hectic work/family life providing calm and balance, positively affecting both my physical and mental well being. I come away from each class with nuggets of wisdom and simple yoga exercises I am able to remember and practise at home .

The Pranayama two part course taken by Polly, was a great introduction to helping me understand yoga. Polly s classes are always packed with interest and each week the session is different which helps keep it fresh.
Self-awareness, breathing, relaxation and the connection between my body and my mind have all been wonderful to learn. Thanks Polly,
Polly’s class really is yoga for all! Everyone gets enjoyment and challenge, whether beginner or more experienced, and can benefit, whatever our limitations. I feel better after every class and have noticed lasting benefits in mobility and balance.
Polly’s classes cater for all abilities. Classes are relaxing and you certainly feel better for them as they loosen you up and release tension in your muscles. We also spend time on various breathing exercises which are great to help you de-stress and relax.
Polly’s classes have been really instructive for me in showing me new ways to approach familiar postures in order to benefit more from them without undue strain, allowing me to practice more comfortably poses that I would previously have struggled with.
The sessions that Polly puts together are always interesting and diverse; the class never gets stale, and I always feel that I come away having learned something new; be that a new posture, or the purpose behind a familiar one.
