Twist & Bliss Yoga

It is a myth that we must be flexible to do Yoga. We do not arrive to Yoga with perfect bodies. Through breath and mindful movement we move our bodies and our minds toward wholeness and healing, and we learn to  accept ourselves as we are each day.  WHAT IS VINYASA FLOW YOGA? Vinyasa Flow yoga classes are both a physical challenge and a moving meditation. We start with yogic breathwork (pranayama) and warm up our bodies with gentle movements.  We then move into a more rigorous flow where we connect our breath with our movement through various yoga postures.  Modifications are offered for different abilities and those with conditions and injuries.  We then wind down with relaxing postures and deep rest.  In these classes you can expect to build physical strength, balance and stamina.  You will also develop a mindfulness practice and better body awareness.   This is a strength-based style of yoga so expect to sweat. At the end of class, you will leave feeling challenged and energised, yet also calm and centred.  With regular attendance you can expect to feel stronger and more flexible, to have better balance and to learn mindfulness tools to manage stress.  -- Please note: a reasonable level of fitness is required for these classes. You should be able to walk briskly for a mile and go up and down stairs without difficulty. Flexibility is NOT a requirement, rather it is one of the benefits gained by practicing yoga. 😊 After my first yoga class, I was hooked. I felt so calm. My body felt so open, and so tall. For more than 20 years now I have attended yoga classes for fitness, fun and to find a place of peace and respite. It’s helped me through bouts of back, neck, and wrist pain when I worked in IT. Yoga kept me fit during pregnancy and gives me a calming place to go when I need a break from the constancy of motherhood.

As a previous serial dieter, I understand how much you want to change but with so much conflicting information, it’s hard to know how to succeed in that change. I have always had a love of fitness, but it wasn’t until I had my son, Daniel, that I decided to make it my career. After having Daniel, my body changed in ways I didn’t understand, I felt like a completely different person which is why I specialise in women’s health and postnatal fitness. I KNOW through my own experience that exercise makes your head clearer, your mood better, your body tougher and gives you a drive to push through life’s tougher challenges. I had tried everything to get to a point where I felt confident and strong in my own mind and body. You don’t have to waste another minute as I have made it my mission to fast track your health and fitness by delivering structured programmes to help you understand and easily fit this into your lifestyle to finally start prioritising you. Why Listen to Me? 1 I have helped 100’s of women feel like themselves again through implementing small changes that are easy to fit into even the busiest of lives. 2 I specialise in post-natal corrective exercise. This can be anything from abdominal separation, prolapse or weak/underactive glutes (mum bum, or post pregnancy lack of bum). 3 I am there with you every step of the way, your cheerleader, your accountability partner and your mentor. 4 Advice is always changing in the health and fitness world, I stay up to date on new guidance and studies to make sure you are receiving the best service. 5 I have been there, I get it and I understand how intimidating change is.
