YOGA
I fell in love with yoga the first time I practiced it. I loved the movement, the rhythm, the breath, even the wobbling. Ten years later I still love everything about it. And I'm so happy I get to share it. In the past six years I have taught all over Belfast teaching corporate classes, gym classes, public classes, and 1-2-1's.
I currently teach a regular Hatha Vinyasa class on Thursday evenings at Maitri Studio (East Belfast). The class is open to all and you'd be very welcome to join. Alternatively, throughout the year I teach different yoga related courses and workshops, so have a look below or on the 'Events' page and if there's anything that resonates with you please don't hesitate to get in touch.
CLASSES
HATHA VINYASA YOGA
A fluid and mindful Hatha Vinyasa practice which takes you deeper in your yoga practice. Classes flow through creative asana sequences linked to the breath supported by skilful hands-on-assists, pranayama, meditation, chanting, and deep relaxation.
This is a well-rounded class and includes standing and balancing postures, forward bending, back bending, mobility, appropriate (but always optional) inversions, and an extended and guided relaxation at the end.
Open to all.

YOGA FOUNDATIONS
Best for beginners, students brand new to yoga, or more experienced students wishing to refine their practice. Students are taught ‘how to do’ asana through the use of props and partner exercises with an emphasis placed on correct alignment and how to build a yoga practice from the ground up.
This class is usually taught as a course and each week focuses on a different aspect of yoga that develops over the course to foster a deep understanding of yoga asana.
