What happens in the YOGA CLASSES ?
Participants in classes are consulted to find out what it is they want to achieve through yoga. They receive individual guidance and regular follow ups to check how they are progressing. The yoga exercises are modified as necessary to accommodate the individual needs of each participant.
There is no pressure to perform or to keep up.
The exercises are intended to be carried out in a relaxed state of mind and body. This results in a profound state of calmness in which the body and mind learn to let go of tension. It is in this state of mind that the parasympathetic nervous system takes over from the stress induced sympathetic nervous system and the body's own self healing abilities are enhanced.
Gill and David want participants to learn how to help themselves and they recommend exercises that people can do at home. The 1:1 Yoga Therapy sessions take the idea of enabling people to help themselves a step further. You work 1:1 with the therapist to determine where your energy imbalances are.
The therapy takes place over a series of appointments and it involves exercises, breathing techniques (for calming and for balancing energy in the body), advice on lifestyle choices, relaxation techniques and cleansing techniques. An energy balancing massage is part of this process.
