Traditionally, yoga is a solitary practice, hidden away in a cave. The practitioner meets with their guru from time to time to brush up on their skills.

These days that’s not so easy to fit in around work and family, so thankfully we have convenient yoga classes with no cave needed. Of course I want you to come to my yoga classes. Even though your focus is on yourself, the energy that is shared in a group yoga practice is very uplifting. It is also invaluable to have an outside eye – particularly if your practice is new – to check that your body positioning is okay and to share ideas.

That said, it is when you start your own practice that you really challenge yourself. It takes a lot of commitment to start and then maintain your own practice.  Doing yoga once a week may make you feel ‘better’ that day or the next day and if you are able to implement changes in your lifestyle ‘off the mat’ so much the better. But doing just 20 minutes of yoga 3 or 4 times a week will dramatically increase the benefits of your practice between the led sessions.

If you want to start your own yoga practice at home but are not sure how please ask me. I can help you to create your own ‘routine’ so that you don’t feel stuck when you get on your mat.

If you live In Norwich I can also provide one-to-one yoga sessions to get you started.

I provide a workshop that helps you set up a home practice including advice that relates to your Ayurvedic Dosha (your ‘constitution’) and your individual needs.

I am making video podcasts in both yoga postures and relaxation techniques for you to practice at home between sessions. Email Lou for details.
