Yoga with Natasha

Yoga can be seen as an art, a science and a discipline.

It works closely with the elements. The earth keeps us grounded, supported and protected, water: helping us flow through life and deal with our emotions, fire: burning away negativity and toxins and air, giving us vitality and strength.

Hatha means sun and moon and we need both the masculine of the sun and the feminine of the moon to give us a happy balance. I strongly believe in our connection to the sun, moon, rainbows, trees, flowers and animals which all reflects in Yoga Asanas (postures).

By regularly practising postures, breathing exercises, relaxation and meditation all mindfully, with awareness, yoga can magically guide us towards a more blissful state, enhancing our lives, the essence of yoga.

My Classes:

Before my students arrive, I ensure the room is clean. Cleanliness is very important in Yoga - it's one of Patanjalis Sutras. I like to create a peaceful atmosphere, so I light a delicately scented candle and bring fresh flowers and make a little shrine in the middle of the room.

When I teach, I tell a story, nearly always having a theme throughout. At the beginning, we relax and limber up; in the middle is the core practice and the end is feeling the effect by breathing, meditating, relaxing and imaginative visualisations.

By the end, the whole class feels at peace.
