yoga iyengar

In 2001, when my daughter was five months old, I decided to join a local Yoga class to ‘get back in shape’ and to have a little ‘me’ time in a busy week. I was instantly hooked and as I began to reap some of yoga’s immeasurable rewards, an interest quickly blossomed into a new way of life. The fantastic teacher I had found taught the Iyengar Yoga method. Wanting a greater understanding of this method and having developed a passion to teach, I completed a highly rewarding two year teacher training program at the Manchester and District Institute of Iyengar Yoga. I qualified as an Introductory Level 2 teacher - 2010 and left my career of 27 years as a Design separation artist to teach full time; I never looked back. My training continued and in 2015 I gained my Intermediate Junior Level 1 teacher certificate. In 2018 I also gained my Introductory Junior Level 2 teachers certificate. My own professional development and training is on-going and I attend weekly teachers classes and regular further training workshops. I’m honoured and constantly inspired to have learnt from various wonderful senior teachers and visiting teachers from B.K.S. Iyengar's Ramamani Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India. My thanks to all those teachers. I will forever be grateful to have ‘happened upon’ that class back in 2001. - Sarah Pettitt, Intermediate Junior Level 2 teacher

yoga with jai

Namaste, I am Jaina aka Jai, Yoga has been a constant in my life since I was at university studying my degree in Fashion Design. I trained in 2010 for my 200 hours Hot Hatha Yoga teaching qualification with Yoga Haven & 2015 with Lushtums for my Pre, Post and Antenatal Education qualifications. I began teaching yoga in 2015. I offer bespoke and tailored classes, workshop & retreats to suit your needs, whether you are a new or established yogi / yogini. Classes are fun, friendly, relaxing and a safe space place for you to practice. I am passionate about sharing the traditional philosophy of Yoga, taking you on a journey through breath work, meditation, mindfulness, relaxation, basic pose, alignment and more challenging postures through creative sequencing. Pranayama (breath work) & asana’s (postures) will help to detoxify and remove any stale, stagnant energy, whilst we focus on connecting with our inner being, leaving you feeling energised and happy from the inside. Yoga asana is only a small part of our practice, the holistic therapeutics are unique to each individual and I am passionate about nurturing people and creating communities through my classes.
