This method focuses on breathing, asana (postures), and meditation, creating a holistic experience that addresses the body, mind, and spirit. In my Peace and Calm yoga classes, students are guided to explore mindful variations of poses that allow them to find their own unique practice.
This personalized approach helps individuals listen to their bodies, ensuring that they remain within their comfort zone while gently pushing their limits. By the end of each class, participants often report feeling both physically engaged and deeply relaxed, with an enhanced sense of energy and calm. Each session begins with pranayama (breathwork), which helps centre the mind and body, allowing for a more focused and mindful practice.
The class concludes with a short meditation, designed to carry the peace and relaxation of the practice into everyday life. Relaxation is an integral component of yoga, equally as important as the physical postures. It provides deep restoration and rejuvenation, helping to restore the body and mind. I view yoga as a lifelong journey of self-discovery and healing.
It is a practice of continuous learning and evolution, much like the journey of life itself. Through Peace and Calm yoga classes, I aim to support you in cultivating health, happiness, and lasting well-being, guiding you along the path to inner peace.
Elevate Your Mind, Body & Spirit with Transformative Yoga
Discover the power of Hot Yoga Flow, Ashtanga Yoga, and Yoga Nidra, three dynamic practices designed to strengthen your body, enhance flexibility, and cultivate deep inner peace.
Hot Yoga Flow
Our Hot Yoga Flow class is a dynamic and invigorating practice inspired by the principles of Bikram Choudhury and Baron Baptiste, designed to enhance flexibility, strength, stamina, and overall vitality while promoting detoxification. Practicing yoga in a heated environment allows muscles to relax and stretch more deeply, reducing the risk of injury and improving mobility. The controlled heat also increases circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles and providing a cardiovascular workout without the need for high-impact movement.
This practice integrates breath control (Pranayama), mindful movement, and precise postural alignment, following in the footsteps of yoga masters like Pattabhi Jois and Krishnamacharya, to create a holistic experience that nurtures both body and mind. The heat encourages perspiration, aiding in detoxification by flushing out toxins and cleansing the skin. Additionally, the mental discipline required to practice in a heated room enhances focus, concentration, and mindfulness, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.
Regular participation in Hot Yoga Flow improves endurance, balance, and core stability while promoting relaxation and mental clarity. Whether you are a beginner looking to build strength or an experienced yogi seeking to deepen your practice, this class offers a challenging yet accessible experience.
Join us to experience the transformative power of hot yoga revitalizing your body, refreshing your mind, and leaving you energized and empowered after every session.
Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga Yoga is a traditional and dynamic system of yoga introduced to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915–2009). This powerful practice follows a structured sequence of postures that are synchronized with deep, controlled breathing, known as Ujjayi Pranayama, and a focused gaze, or Drishti. The combination of breath, movement, and concentration generates intense internal heat, leading to profuse sweating that helps detoxify muscles, organs, and the entire body.
This method is physically demanding and follows a progressive flow, requiring discipline and commitment. It enhances flexibility, builds strength, and improves stamina while purifying the nervous system. Through consistent practice, Ashtanga Yoga supports better circulation, promotes cardiovascular health, and cultivates a lean, strong, and agile body.
Beyond the physical benefits, Ashtanga Yoga also fosters mental clarity, inner peace, and heightened awareness. The structured nature of the practice encourages mindfulness, focus, and emotional resilience, leading to a calm and balanced state of mind.
Whether you are a beginner looking to develop a strong foundation or an advanced practitioner deepening your journey, Ashtanga Yoga provides a transformative experience that unites breath, movement, and meditation. Embrace the discipline, energy, and profound benefits of this timeless practice.
Yoga Nidra – The Art of Yogic Sleep
Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a deeply restorative practice that promotes profound relaxation, mental clarity, and inner peace. Rooted in ancient yogic traditions and popularized by Swami Satyananda Saraswati, Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation technique that allows practitioners to access a state between wakefulness and sleep, where the body is completely relaxed while the mind remains aware. This systematic practice helps release stress, anxiety, and physical tension, making it one of the most powerful tools for achieving deep rest and rejuvenation.
Through guided instructions, Yoga Nidra leads individuals through different layers of consciousness, allowing them to access the subconscious and unconscious mind. This practice enhances self-awareness, promotes emotional healing, and supports mental clarity. Studies have shown that regular practice can improve sleep quality, reduce symptoms of insomnia, and alleviate conditions such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Physiologically, Yoga Nidra helps lower cortisol levels, reduce blood pressure, and enhance overall well-being. Inspired by the teachings of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and Swami Rama, this ancient method of relaxation fosters mindfulness, creativity, and spiritual awakening.
Suitable for practitioners of all levels, Yoga Nidra offers a transformative journey toward deep inner peace. Experience the power of yogic sleep and awaken a renewed sense of balance and tranquility.
