Yoga is for everybody. For each individual, in each stage of life, there is a path of yoga to support us in living our full potential. Yoga can empower us with physical and mental development in youth, vitality and balance in adulthood, and natural serenity in the later years of life. As we evolve, our yoga practice can both support us through life’s changes, and adapt to meet our changing needs.
Yoga begins wherever we are. Each of us is unique, and each of us needs a unique yoga, tailored to our own individual body, mind and lifestyle. The art of personal yoga is in embracing our uniqueness, and discovering our own path forwards from here.
"Breath is central to yoga,because breath is central to life...and yoga is about life."

Vinyasa Yoga is a traditional method of yoga that can be enjoyed by all people. The practice bridges the realms of fitness, healing, and personal transformation. It can be used to develop strength, flexibility and stamina; and can equally be applied to support the gentle healing of injuries and long-term health conditions. The method of Vinyasa Yoga embraces variety, creativity and adaptation as inherent principles, supporting a living yoga practice to be enjoyed sustainably throughout our years.
Vinyasa Yoga was given to us by Sri T. Krishnamacharya (1888-1989), fondly known as ‘The father of modern yoga'. His students, and their students in turn, have spread yoga from India to millions around the world over the last century. Today, many forms of yoga continue to flourish and evolve from Krishnamachrya’s teachings, and the essential principles he instilled - breath-centred yoga and personally adapted practice - remain timeless, invaluable keys for healthy, effective and joyful yoga.

Personal yoga teaching is focused on developing a personal practice ideally suited to each individual. In One-to-One yoga sessions you can learn to see more clearly where you are in this moment, and to intelligently apply the tools of yoga in your life. With the ongoing support of these sessions you are guided in the cultivation of a personal yoga practice that is absolutely your own.
One-to-One sessions begin with an initial consultation to explore your individual needs. Your teacher will introduce simple practices tailored to you, and as you progress over a number of sessions, will support and challenge you to develop and refinine your practice. You may come for just a few sessions, or over months and years as your yoga practice continues to develop. Ultimately, the purpose of personal teaching is to thoroughly empower you to be independent in your yoga, giving you the tools and confidence to enjoy a personal yoga practice that evolves with you as an integral part of your life.
