The Freestyle Yoga Project is about taking off the blinkers, exploring what your mind and body are capable of without any allegiance to one particular yoga system. But this IS dynamic, vinyasa yoga, incorporating the concept of 'vinyasa krama' - linking breath and movement and moving logically, safely and intelligently through poses and sequences. Get out of your comfort zone, challenge yourself and watch yourself fly....
All Freestyle classes are mixed-ability. £12 drop-in; class cards are available. 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!
