All Freestyle classes are mixed-ability. £10 drop-in or £54 for a 6 class card, £100 for a 12 class card (no time limit on cards). Beginners are always welcome. But please note that we work very hard. The vibe is informal but challenging. I'll be encouraging you to do some amazing things! My aim is to turn you into superheroes...
Suitable for budding instructors and those practitioners simply wishing to deepen their knowledge of asana. Programme includes nuts'n'bolts adjustment work, partnerwork, structuring 'freestyle' classes, Thai massage and first aid for yoga instructors modules, and post-course mentoring...
You'll find 1 or 2 day workshops almost monthly around the UK. Workshops are great for spreading ourselves out and looking at various aspects of yoga in minute detail. If there's nothing in your area, get in touch and help me organise something! Retreats abroad offer even more time to dissect the practice - in gorgeous surrroundings and accompanied by fine food and glorious sunshine!
This instructional CD is a traditional primary series ashtanga vinyasa talk-thru and although I don't practice or teach in this manner any longer, its still the foundation to my Freestyle approach. A great tool to back up your regular class/home practice. Watch this space for the first Freestyle Yoga Project DVD....
We have finally completed the second of my yoga demo videos.
This one covers Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutations. As before, click on the full-screen option to enjoy in all its glory!! Please do leave a comment to let me know what you think.
