WHAT
ARE SARAH’S CLASSES LIKE?
Sarah’s
classes usually begin with breath awareness and gentle warming-up
exercises. These are followed by sun salutations and dynamic and flowing
sequences of asana (yoga postures). Classes finish with relaxation
and meditative practices.
The
ethos behind Sarah's teaching is to be able to teach each individual
in a personal way and in a non-competitive environment. Options are
always given for practising each asana (posture) in a more or less
challenging way, so that each student is comfortably challenged in
their yoga practice. Students are encouraged to listen to their bodies
and to work mindfully at a level that suits them.
Sarah's
classes are run as courses - this is to encourage commitment from
the student and so that Sarah may develop an in-depth knowledge of
a student's practice, so as best to advise on appropriate postures
and practice.
Children’s
classes
Yoga is incredibly good for children, helping them to improve their
balance, flexibility, coordination and strength in a non-competitive
environment. It can also help them to stay calm and relaxed and this
can help with their school studies by improving their ability to concentrate
and maintain focus. Please
for details.
Private
one-to-one sessions
Sarah has experience in teaching a variety of individuals from ultra-fit
rugby players to people with health problems. One-to-one sessions
are designed to be perfect for each individual, to work at the level
appropriate for each person and to address any specific health issues
that they may have. Classes can be held in Sarah’s home, or
wherever is convenient for the client. See our timetables

WHAT
SHOULD I WEAR?
Wear stretchy, non-restrictive clothing that is not too baggy. Avoid
eating for 2 hours before coming to class. Please bring a mat and
a blanket, if you have one. Some mats and blankets are available to
borrow.
Always
listen to your body. If you experience pain during your practice,
please stop what you are doing and notify Sarah so that she may help
you to correct your posture or to assume a posture more appropriate
for your body.
