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. Yoga encourages us to listen to our bodies, focus on the breath, and accept ourselves for who we are. It has helped me through many changes and transitions, and it works in such subtle ways that lead to profound changes both on the mat, and probably most importantly, in real life.
I currently teach a regular Hatha Vinyasa class on Thursday evenings at Maitri Studio Belfast. The class is open to all and you'd be very welcome to join.

CLASSES
HATHA VINYASA YOGA
A fluid and mindful Jivamukti 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 or workshop and each week focuses on a different aspect of yoga that develops to foster a deeper understanding of yoga asana.

YIN | RESTORATIVE
Yin
A quiet, non-muscular practice where we hold postures between 3-5 minutes to stretch deeply into the body; use bolsters, pillows, blocks, and blankets to make each pose comfortable as you drop into your edge and experience stillness and contemplation.
Restorative
A practice that encourages physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. Appropriate for all levels, restorative yoga is practiced at a slow pace, focusing on long holds, stillness, and deep breathing.

Steven is an excellant Yoga teacher. He has the ability to guide you safely into poses, that little bit further than you though you could go. His instruction is clear and precise. His voice is soothing & calming and his speciality yoga Nidra assists help you to melt into relaxation! Steven's Thai massage is amazing too - check it out!

Attended one of Stevens 2 hour classes yesterday and have been shouting from the rooftops to anyone who will listen to how great it was. I've never had such great assists (and I'm so happy to see a workshop now dedicated that I can learn from him). It was fantastic to get back to an authentic Hatha practice with some longer holds too! Thanks so much Steven, i'll see you soon!
