Yoga is For Everybody.

Yoga is for Everybody

In India around 1920 Shri Yogendra; a forward thinking Indian Yoga Guru took yoga practice away from the traditional spiritual settings and made it accessible for the mainstream population. He promoted yoga for health and healing in everyday life for everybody. This became the new age of yoga which eventually spread world wide and today there are over fifteen thousand yoga teachers in the United Kingdom alone!

Yoga is not just a practice for bendy flexible people. I believe Shri Yogendra's message is just as relevant today as it was in the 1920'S.

ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO START!

What People are saying

Weekly Classes

Your Yoga class is something I look forward to immensely . I enjoy the class so much. It is one of the highlights of my week. I have been regular antendee since the start of the class two years ago and I have seen enormous benefits in my flexibility and strength. I was recovering from an operation at the start of my yoga journey and feel positive that this has really been beneficial in my recovery.

I enjoy the yoga class with Dorothy, the exercises are great for me with being older. I like to keep my body moving even if it is just gently. I always feel rejuvenated afterwards. It gives me something to focus on which is good for my mind and I love the relaxation part which is great for both my body and mind. I also enjoy the classes because I get to meet and chat with like minded people which breaks up my day.

On line Individual Sessions.

I had never taken up yoga until I developed a disabling condition in my 60's. I was uncertain how I would get on but from the start, Dorothy provided a reassuring space to learn and benefit from gentle yoga exercises. At first I was more able to do yoga whilst standing , but now we do chair yoga which I find more comfortable.

Dorothy is an excellent yoga teacher. She is very experienced and is able to adapt her sessions to meet the specific needs of her clients. What I especially like is Dorothy's gentle caring manner. She is always sensitive to my needs and I look forward to do yoga with her.

'Extremely effective in encouraging me to start moving after suffering acute sciatic nerve pain. The course helped me to introduce a regular yoga and stretching routine which provides relief from lower back and leg pain. My balance and core strength has improved. I continue to have regular on line yoga appointments with Dorothy.'
