STUDIO CLASSES
STUDIO CLASSES AT
THE OLD SCHOOL
I run my own studio classes from The Old School, Tidenham Chase. Over the last 4 years this community has thrived and flourished beautifully. My intention has always been to create a warm, light and calm space, where it is possible to leave behind the hustle of your day and arrive fully and completely on your mat, into the Now. When you come to my classes, my hope is that you feel welcome, nourished and joy - it is a space where every body is free to explore movement, breathing and the magic of yoga through a lens that suits them best. I dream of building a yoga community that honours tradition, but dances in the continuous ebb and flow of the present moment. A space that offers both a connection to the outer and the opportunity to feel to the inner. My classes are rooted in the following values:
connection. embodiment. devotion. presence.
CLASS STYLES
I teach four distinct signature styles:
VINYASA FLOW
dynamic. fluid. breath led.
This signature style seamlessly links breath to movement and rhythmically flows between each posture. The class is playful, creative, invigorating, fluid and seeks to build strength from the inside. Sometimes there is a peak posture in mind, but mostly it plays in the moment to moment experience of yoga. A little bit of experience may be required before your first Vinyasa Flow (but feel free to reach out directly).
THE SPACE
An inclusive space for 15. The class size allows me to teach in a way that pays great attention to detail and ensure everybody in the class feels included and noticed.
The best quality yoga mats, cork blocks, organic cotton bolsters and straps all provided, so you can arrive with just yourself.
+ top quality pilates matwork equipment such as hand weights, chi-balls and resistance bands.
Neals Yard pure essential oils diffused throughout.
A light filled, airy open space, with warm, soft lighting and filled with plants - no mirrors sorry! So you can focus on the journey inward rather than looking out (we spend so much time doing that in life as it is).
No shoes in the studio please.
Top quality Sonos sound-system to create soothing sounds - the building has been insulated SO much so it is very quiet and still. Music is part of the class experience.
Filtered water and herbal organic (Yogi Tea) tea provided - stay for chat with your cuppa.
High quality and heart felt teaching - yoga has expanded from my yoga mat into all aspects of my life and I live and breathe the practice. I am continuously investing in and undergoing additional training in the discipline of yoga to ensure you are in good hands.
Please ensure phones are off or silent (no vibrate), so we all stay in the experience and are not distracted by the external.
