Hatha Yoga with Ying

Monday,Wednesday and Sunday mornings

Hatha Yoga is a life practice which ensures the evolution of the human individual. We initially use simple, set forms derived from the natural and human worlds, leading to sequential development of asana (posture) linked by vinyasa (fluid movement of body and breath). This culminates in the inner stability embodied in inverted postures and upright sitting, and the practical experience of meditation. The small-group classes are suitable and very safe for all including beginners; personal adaptations are made where required. For more information on the Hatha Yoga classes, phone Ying on 07917 770478.

Drop-in classes, £12 per session; Eight classes £75, pay at the class.

Mornings are traditionally the best time for the practice of Hatha Yoga, so our classes are generally offered in the mornings.

Our intention is to strongly encourage anyone to attend classes and to develop a personal practice, giving a minimum of three yoga sessions per week, ensuring steady and substantive ongoing development.  See below for full details of the course.

Pilates with Silvia

Saturday mornings

Pilates is an exercise system that focuses on stretching and strengthening the whole body with more attention given to the spine, and improves balance, muscle strength, flexibility and posture. I have developed a very effective routine that will improve muscle tone and flexibility, core strength and joint mobility as well as relieve stress and tension. Every movement can be adapted to the different needs and abilities of the participants.

Saturdays, 8:30-9:30, starting date to be announced.  Teacher Silvia Abbate, tel. 07985 550 0577. Charge £8.

Ying’s Course Details

Tuition costs are payable in cash before starting the first session, if not previously paid. Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable except by arrangement. It is best to arrive promptly so that you are rested before you begin. It is best to avoid eating or drinking before, during or immediately after class (you need four hours to digest a full meal). You need loose or stretchable clothing. Practice is barefoot, and preferably with at least hands and feet freshly-washed. If you perspire profusely, bring a towel. Advise your instructor in instances of sickness, injury or unusual stress, and contact before missing any planned sessions; If necessary you will be given a different practice to best relieve or manage your condition.

Session times and tutors may sometimes be subject to alteration as necessary. All expert professional care is taken, and your practice is naturally undertaken at your own risk.
