Yoga

The Practice

My speciality is power yoga — strength, inversions, arm balances and steady, visible progression. It is the part of teaching I love most, and the reason most people end up staying.

How I teach

Strength arrives quietly, then all at once.

Progression is not a mood. It is a sequence — the shoulder strength before the crow, the crow before the headstand, the wrists that have to be ready for both. I will tell you what is missing and how long it usually takes.

I am not interested in you performing a pose you cannot hold safely. I am very interested in you owning one you did not think was available to you.

Nobody is too stiff, too heavy, too old or too new. Those are starting conditions, not verdicts.

Also taught

Power is the speciality.
Not the whole range.

Strength work only holds if the slower disciplines hold it up. A private programme usually contains more than one of these.

Yin

Long holds, deep connective tissue, somewhere to put the week down.

Yoga Nidra

Guided rest. Not sleep, and not quite waking either.

Mobility

Usable range you can control, not just reach.

Flexibility

Length built patiently, without borrowing from a joint.

Breathwork

Breath as an instrument — for effort and for coming down.

Hatha

Slower, held, precise. The foundations under everything else.

Vinyasa

Breath-linked sequence with a beginning, a peak and an end.

Group classes

Three mornings and one evening.

Twelve mats, so nobody is anonymous and everybody gets seen. Come to one class or all three — there is no membership and nothing to cancel.

What happens when you reserve

Payment opens in Ziina and your place is confirmed by message. Live capacity, instant confirmation and automatic reminders arrive when the booking system goes in.

Private yoga

Built around one body.

Written after the assessment, not before it. The programme changes as you do — which is the entire advantage of working one to one.

Before the first session

Everyone booking private yoga completes a movement and mobility assessment first. It covers your training history, injuries past and present, surgeries, pain, restrictions, stiffness, sleep, stress, and what you actually want out of this.

It takes about ten minutes and it is the difference between a programme designed for you and a class delivered at you.

Coming with client accounts

The assessment becomes a form you complete online, stored against your own profile, with your consent recorded and timestamped. For now it is completed together at the first session.
