Welcome!
Thank you for visiting my website. Here you will find information on the classes I teach from my beautiful Garden Studio in Strawberry Hill, on the Twickenham / Teddington border. I teach a variety of classes including Beginners Yoga, Gentle Hatha Flow, Hatha Vinyasa and Pregnancy Yoga. Classes are small and welcoming, and provide an opportunity to experience the overwhelming benefits of the practice of Yoga. You can also find details of my Sports Massage Therapy clinic, open to students and referrals. Catriona x Why Yoga? The practice of Yoga helps keep the body strong, flexible and functioning well. It also works on a level of mental well being, helping the mind to also become strong and flexible as well as calm, balanced and resilient. CatrionaYoga classes gently stretch out the whole body (especially those muscles which hold tension due to the demands and routines of modern life) whilst strengthening important postural muscles which can become weak for the same reasons. An important aspect of our class is pranayama - breathing techniques - where we focus on learning to breathe properly, that is using primary rather than secondary breathing muscles (deep abdominal breathing rather than shallow, chest breathing). The benefits of breathing properly are numerous - increasing energy, aiding detoxification, postural, optimal organ function and circulation, calming the nervous system, better sleep - the list goes on... Classes all begin and end with relaxation - also an essential part of all Hatha yoga classes. Learning to relax is an art. The more practice, the better you get at it! In classes we use techniques to teach the mind and body to escape from the busyness and stresses of our every day lives to come to a place of stillness and peace (Yoga!). |
