About
For many the doorway into yoga is through asana, the practice of physical posture. As we move our bodies through various poses we learn to observe our movement, with interest and without judgement - noticing what we feel, where we feel it, how we breathe with our movement and how that affects us. This attitude of gentle observation, developing moment by moment awareness, we can then take off the mat and bring into our daily lives, enabling us to act consciously rather than react, and become more present and receptive to life. The more we practice, the more we find ourselves able to connect with a stillness beneath the demands of routines and responsibilities, providing a respite and state of relaxation where it wasn't before. Regular practice of yoga also has many physical, physiological and psychological benefits (read more) which may include improved flexibility, strength and posture, complemented by increased vitality and mental clarity.

"One-to-one yoga lessons with Karen have been a huge help for my back problems. I leave every session feeling an inch taller and walking on air, but also, more importantly, having learnt things that I can carry forward into daily life to help maintain the improvement." Christine
