My Hatha yoga is a gentle flowing style with emphasis on breathing, joint mobility, stretching and relaxation.
Kundalini yoga (as taught by Yogi Bhajan) is a dynamic yoga with movement (asanas), hand positions (mudras), breath work (pranayama), meditation and sound (mantra or chanting).
I try to integrate many of the life skills I have learnt over the course of my sessions. I love watching the students realise that yoga can bring them so many benefits and have a deep impact on their lives and instil in them a real sense of their own self-worth. I teach with gentle humour and compassion encouraging the students to practice to the best of their ability, whatever that may be on the day, recognising that we are all at different stages on our paths.
