Weekly classes in Brockley, Lewisham, Hilly Fields
In class we aim at creating a well rounded practice to rebalance the nervous system and the energies in the body and mind.
Listening to our internal world and adapting the practice to the moment allow more awareness and self inquiry and make the practice more effective.
Meditation and pranayama may be part of the sessions too.
ONLINE CLASSES
DUE TO THE CURRENT SITUATION THERE ARE NO IN PERSON CLASSES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
hopefully we will be back at the sunflower centre soon...
I am currently teaching one online class:
SLOW FLOW & RESTORE CLASS
TUESDAYS 8-9.15pm
Online yoga class for everyone via ZOOM.
We will start the class with some breathing and some gentle movments to warm the body and connect to ourselves. We may practice some gentle somatic movements from the SATYA method, as well as some classical gentle movements form the Hatha yoga tradition.
We'll then move on to a standing slo flow, with some lovely sequences
created to warm, strengthen gently, and free the body of tensions.
We'll practice classical standing postures and creative flows
interlinked with the breath.
We make sure the practice is a wonderful moment for ourselves and are
encouraged to listen to sensations, do what feels good in the moment and
really look after ourselves.
The class winds down to a floor sequence, perhaps some meditation and definitely a nice long savasana- relaxation.
I so look forward to sharing these sessions with you!

Restorative Yoga
A class to deeply rest and rejuvenate, unwind physical, mental and emotional tension and fatigue.
The whole session is floor based and can include a mixture of gentle somatic movements to free the energy body and allow circulation of fluids, as well as some held postures with props such as bolsters, blocks and blankets to deeply let go and be supported.

This style of practice is wonderful to help the nervous system to shift back into the healing and rest/ digest mode.
Great for everyone!
