ashka dzierzek
Hove
As a Yoga teacher she teaches Yoga inspired movement that is slow paced and
breath oriented with some elements of strength building. It focuses on finding
space and length in a body, connecting to the breath and activating parasym-
pathetic nervous system. While practicing postures the students are asked to
enquire about the ‘feeling’ sensations in the body. Ashka is also a trained
Counsellor. She has found lots of parallel between yoga and Counselling as both
can help the clients to focus on the present moment, enhance the ability to
observe thoughts and feelings and gain greater self- awareness. In Ashka’s
opinion they beautifully complement each other and together they give an
opportunity to work in a complementary way with both Body and Mind. We are
multidimensional beings and our well being is not only associated with mind and
body, To consider ourselves as a whole we need to recognise that we are a part
of something bigger, of nature, or universe. Ashka is also a Reiki Master
bringing all three dimensions of Mind, Body and Spirit into her work. Ashka has
interest in various traditions: Western Esoterism, Mysticism, Yogic philosophy
and Buddhism and have trained as a Meditation Teacher and in various yoga
styles: Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative and Yin Yoga. Her practices are informed by
these disciplines.
