Yoga

Yoga classes in Harrogate starting September 2018.

Often people think they need to be super flexible to do Yoga, this simply is not the case. Anyone can do Yoga regardless of flexibility, age, men and women, children, teenagers. It is definitely worth trying a few different styles of Yoga, to see what style you enjoy.

Having originally trained (2005 qualified) and taught Body Control Pilates for 5 years full time in Skipton and the Yorkshire Dales. I then went on to qualify to teach Sunpower Yoga (2012). More recently I have trained and qualified to teach Yin Yoga and Dru Yoga.

How is Dru Yoga different?

Dru Yoga has its roots in Hatha yoga and includes classical yoga postures (asanas), pranayama (breathwork), mudras (gestures), positive affirmations, empowering visualisations and powerful, flowing, dynamic sequences.

Dru Yoga classes are tailored to provide a fun, positive class that is designed to release blocked energy within the body and it calms the mind. Each class starts with an activation routine which warms up the body and begins to release the tightness and tension that we hold in our bodies. Once the body is ready we move on to a beautiful sequence that has a influence of Tai Chi, dance and Yoga.  Energy Block Release sequences, graceful yoga sequences, pranayama (breathwork) and relaxation.

What is unique about Dru Yoga?

Starting in September 2018, Dru Yoga classes Harrogate.

What is Sun Power Yoga?

Sun Power yoga is soundly based in the ancient yoga scriptures, but draws on different traditions to produce a yoga which is accessible to all, being a blend of flowing movement sequences, strength work, stretching and opening, and breathing techniques.

A typical Sun Power class starts with relaxation and attention to the breath. We try to leave behind all our ‘outside’ preoccupations, and bring ourselves into the present, and thus to a deeper level of concentration. After warming up the spine and major joints, we perform Surya Namaskar – Salute to the Sun. This is a flowing sequence of postures which develops strength, flexibility in the spine and breath co-ordination. After three or four sessions the sequence will really start to flow, and you will be able to work on the co-ordination of the breath with the movement until the sequence becomes a moving meditation.

Standing postures follow – poses which open the hips and chest and develop balancing skills. We even have a go at balancing on the hands – not as hard as it sounds!

We then move to seated, kneeling, prone and supine poses. These focus on developing rotational mobility in the spine, opening the hip joints and stretching the hamstrings (back of the thighs). Yoga is all about removing blockages, allowing energy to move freely around the body, so we spend some time in each pose to gently persuade the body to open up.

We usually find time for inversions towards the end of the class – either, shoulder or head stands, which can easily be modified for anyone with conditions which make these poses inadvisable. All poses in a Sunpower class can be adapted for different levels of experience, from beginners to those with years of experience. My most important teaching instruction is that you listen to your body, and never force or strain.

We finish the class with a short relaxation, and hopefully go on our ways refreshed and ready to face the outside world fitter in body and serener of mind

What is Dru Yoga?

Dru Yoga is a graceful and potent form of yoga, based on flowing movements, directed breathing and visualisation.

Set firmly in ancient yogic tradition, Dru works on body, mind and spirit—improving strength and flexibility, creating core stability, building a heightened feeling of positivity, and deeply relaxing and rejuvenating your whole being. Designed to be practised by people of all abilities, all fitness levels and all age groups, Dru is a style of yoga that can be quickly dipped into or learnt in more depth over a lifetime. Dru Yoga classes are available in the UK, Ireland, The Netherlands and across Europe, Australia and Canada. Short Dru Yoga retreats and yoga holidays in these countries are also very popular.

What is Yin yoga?

Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures, or asanas, that are held for longer periods of time—for beginners, it may range from 45 seconds to two minutes; more advanced practitioners may stay in one asana for five minutes or more.
