Methods and Practices
These methods and practices are tailored to meet you where you are on your journey to wellness, providing support and guidance every step of the way.
Nidra
Finding restoration and relaxation in a world of constant stress and demand. Nidra allows you to access your parasympathetic nervous system and allows the body to heal and disperse stress. Also leads to better sleep, concentration, focus, memory recall and adaptation to stress in life. Allows you to work with the subconscious mind to build better understanding of self and work through obstacles affecting you consciously and unconsciously in life.
Hatha
Focuses on the combination between dynamic and static sequencing. A moving meditation married to the breath. Practicing the universal skill of finding peace in relationship to challenge. Increase strength, cardio vascular health and flexibility with somatic experiencing, helping you understand the correlation between emotion, mental state, posture and movement. Helps to reprogramme the body schema (the way we see ourselves in relationship to space and gravity) working with body mechanics as a foundation. Fascially informed, touch based teaching points available if desired by the student.
Vinyasa
All of the same benefits as a standard Hatha class but in a more dynamic structure for the extra Challenge. Deepening the skill of ease and observation through effort. Cardio vascular health, bone density, joint health, fascial health..
Fascially informed
Teaching from a Fascially informed perspective allows me to see areas of restriction and tension throughout the body and provide you with specific exercises for release and oppositional strengthening, along with manual manipulation techniques freeing the posture, restriction from injury, pain and emotional stress.
Somatic experiencing
the therapeutic method of the internal observation of the body, the senses, kinesthesia and kinesiology to recognise and understand and affects and reactions of trauma and PTSD. Through observation we create understanding of the mind body as a whole, their inter-connectedness and are able to begin dispersing the effects of trauma in the system. When we work with the understanding of the mind and the body as a whole, we can begin to categorise difference sensations and experiences in the body for what they are, leaving us more empowered in the future to recognise our state based upon our physical experience and working with the body, to move through those areas, emotionally, physically and in life.
