 Yoga
Instructor
Christine Nielsen |
| Our
yoga classes are taught by Christine Nielsen who has studied and practised
yoga for more than 30 years and is a certified yoga instructor. Christine
teaches Hatha Yoga and her approach could be considered as more of a
"moving
meditation" than an aggressive workout. Hatha
Yoga is not just a system of physical exercise, it is part of
the ancient philosophy of yoga, which is spiritually based. The
discipline of hatha yoga is holistic in nature and is aimed at
harmonising body, mind and spirit. Its practice includes
carefully
devised postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama) and deep
relaxation.
There are a number of styles of hatha yoga being offered in the West, which can be confusing for anyone in search of a yoga class. We teach classic hatha yoga, which is a more gentle approach than power yoga classes for example. Our classes are suitable for both beginners and experienced students. Emphasis is placed on the correct performance of the postures, breath control and relaxation. Each class ends with a long period of guided relaxation. |
