Traditional Hatha Yoga
Greetings yogis,
I teach traditional Hatha Yoga in Wiltshire to people of all ages and abilities in Chippenham, Calne, Melksham, Devizes, Bromham, Derry Hill, and Pewsham. Mixed yoga classes take place in community buildings, such as schools and social centres.
I want to make yoga available and accessible to people within the everyday context of ordinary life: work, family, relationships, home. I also teach one-to-one classes, school groups and corporate lifestyle and well-being courses.
Yoga Lessons
Dates for starting yoga classes in the Lansdowne Hall, Calne, Wiltshire have unfortunately been postponed for the foreseeable future. But when we are able to continue the new dates, I'm pleased to say that the Lansdowne Hall has ample space for yoga mats, so class numbers can get back to normal.
Currently there can be more fluidity for those of you who need to attend a different class every now and then. There are still markers on the hall floor to help us be mindful of spreading out evenly in the space available.
I am very much looking forward to the future and can't wait to see you!
Suzanne
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga is believed to have originated in India circa 2000 BC. The word 'yoga' is a Sanskrit word that means 'Union' and it is often interpreted as meaning 'the union of mind, body and spirit'. In the practice of yoga the ultimate aim is one of self-development and self-realisation.
Why try Hatha Yoga?
- The practice of yoga leads towards a stronger and more flexible body and can improve the functioning of the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and hormonal systems.
- Working with the body, the breath and our awareness Hatha Yoga improves our ability to prioritize, to solve problems, and to be creative. We become more authentic.
- Many people practice yoga to achieve greater emotional stability and clarity of mind. For others, yoga simply brings the joy of calm and space to help us cope with the daily stresses and problems of life.
- We stop reacting to external forces, learning instead to genuinely respond to the situations in which we find ourselves. Hatha Yoga helps us adjust the balance between the flow of the world around us and our ability to influence it.
Regular practice of yoga can help you face the turmoil of life with steadiness and stability.
