Pranayama 

If you're looking to find peace and balance, breathing exercises might be exactly what you need. Our 10-week pranayama sessions with Fiona is designed to guide you through ancient yogic breathing techniques that calm your nervous system and help you feel more grounded.

Pranayama, the yogic practice of conscious breathing, is one of the most accessible and powerful tools for managing stress and anxiety.  I have found it essential for creating a clear steady, mind.  It does require time to practice, like all good things.  So make a start with Fiona each Friday morning.  Fiona will start with basics and give you clear instructions to practice and observe within yourself.

Why Calm Your Nervous System 

When your nervous system is in overdrive, it affects everything—your sleep, your digestion, your mood, and your ability to focus. Pranayama activates your parasympathetic nervous system, often called your "rest and digest" response, helping you shift out of fight-or-flight mode and into a state of deep relaxation.

Over 10 weeks, you'll notice improvements in how you feel both on and off the mat, especially if you practice at home as well as coming into the studio.  Many students report better sleep, reduced anxiety, improved concentration, and a greater sense of calm in their daily lives.  Single sessions are also available.

Join Fiona 

With Fiona's expert guidance and a manageable commitment of just 45 minutes per session, you'll discover how powerful your breath can be.  Students need to have a foundation in asana practice before commencing pranayama.  Talk to your teacher if you are interested in joining Fiona.  Book links below.

Hi yoga friends,

I am teaching a Yoga Basics class on Saturday 10 October at 11.30am.  This class is perfect for those wanting to 'try' yoga, or for those returning to yoga from a break.  We will work steadily through some of the basic yoga poses, including a relaxation segment at the end of the class.  You will leave feeling rested, energised and ready for the weekend!

Everyone is very welcome to attend so if you have a family member or friend who would like to join me, please pass this on.
