elaine whittaker - yogabeing
My name is Elaine and I love yoga! I've been enjoying yoga myself for about 45
years and teaching for 15 years. My Bicester yoga classes are gentle and
mindful. No rushing from posture to posture. We take time to be. My aim when
teaching is for you to be comfortable, relaxed and happy. For you to feel calm
and confident, free from physical tension and mental stress. Most of the ladies
in my classes are in their 50's, 60's and 70's and appreciate the more gentle
approach I take in teaching. Classes start with a short period of breath
awareness, followed by some gentle warm up movements. Then we enjoy some
postures (asanas) often in the form of sequences so you can lose yourself in the
soft flow of the movements. We finish with some breathwork (pranayama) and a
lovely relaxation leaving you feeling calm and peaceful. I like to drip in
little glimpses of the philosophy behind yoga and will sometimes share a short
reading or poem to enhance the mood of the class. In addition, I integrate
aspects of mindfulness into my teaching. Whilst none of us can remove the
stresses from our lives, we can develop coping mechanisms to avoid tension
building physically, mentally and emotionally. Yoga can help you release tight
muscles and improve your sense of balance physically and mentally. You learn to
unravel the knots of physical, mental and emotional tension and gain a greater
sense of wellbeing. Let your yoga class be an oasis of calm in a busy life...
like pressing a pause button .. time to unwind and refresh. Beginners are always
welcome - my gentle style of teaching means all can enjoy classes. Come and find
your inner goddess .. that calm, tranquil woman who can sometimes become hidden
in a busy life. Contact me to find out more.
