Back to the Studio! (sort of)

So it’s been a bit crazy over the last few months! Hope everyone has been okay and managed to keep things together through lockdown. It has been difficult both mentally and physically but hopefully as lockdown eases we can start moving forward together.

There were new challenges for teachers as we suddenly had to shift to online teaching, which has it pros and cons! I am thankful that clients were so patient as we scrambled to make things work. We will be starting to slowly introduce face-to-face classes and I am looking forward to seeing some of you as soon as tomorrow! I am conscious that some people with health issues may not be able to attend, whilst there are those of you who are either not ready to come back or have actually realised they prefer attending class online. For those people, no worries, we are continuing to stream the live classes so you can still practice at home without the hassle of having to travel to the studio with all your stuff.

I have completed my Covid-19 Awareness training and am ready to get started. There will be many changes to the experience we are used to but hopefully we can still create a positive and supportive shared energy within the space.

I am also in the early stages of developing an online subscription service with pre-recorded on-demand classes and how-to videos, a live class timetable and the opportunity for 1-1 sessions online, available to you wherever you are in the world. Plus even more! I will keep you updated on how its going but I am hoping to get the bare bones up and in the testing phase in the next 6 months, fingers crossed! In the meantime, if there’s any content or information you would like to see, which would make a service like this relevant to you, I would love to hear your ideas.

From today (31st July 2020) I am tentatively starting to teach publicly, with a much reduced timetable. I taught my first class back at Jiva Health Wimbledon this morning and will be teaching at Busy Lizzy Putney and Wimbledon (from 10th August) to start with. My Busy Lizzy 9:30am Saturday class will continue via Busy Lizzy Online. Pregnancy, and mum and baby at Busy Lizzy will remain online or outside until September at the earliest. Stay tuned for info on Pregnancy at Jiva!

Timetables are subject to change so probably better to check websites for details!

Classes in Tooting Friday evenings

As some of you know I have relocated from The Sound Lounge on Monday evenings. Unfortunately I was unable to get another venue nearby for Monday evenings so I am now running classes on Fridays!

These classes will take place at Tooting Methodist Church Hall, entrance in Longmead Road. New students the first class is FREE! after that its £11 drop in or £50 for a 5 class pass or £90 for a 10 class pass. If there are financial difficulties please contact me directly as we may be able to come to an arrangement that is more manageable.

Please bring your own mat!

6:00pm-7:15pm will be Pregnancy Yoga and 7:30-8:30pm Vinyasa Flow

Pregnancy yoga is suitable for mums and bumps from 12weeks, after your 12 week check. Its a great way to meet other mums to be and share your journey, offering support and companionship, whilst building confiedance.prenatal-teaching

So what happens at pregnancy yoga? After setting up your mat we go around the room to introduce ourselves, say how many weeks pregnant you are and let everyone know how you are feeling and if there are any issues e.g.pelvic girdle pain or low lying placenta. (don’t worry if there is anything you think I should be aware of but don’t want to tell the group just let me know at the beginning before we start.) This is usually a nice way to share experiences and anything that you have tried that helps with making things easier.

We will then go through some gentle flowing movements and yoga postures to get the body moving and also learn some techniques to ease common discomforts e.g. lower back pain or tense shoulders. Movements will also give you some ideas on active birth positions and breathing techniques to keep you calm and relaxed during birth. Other techniques including sonic massage for your baby will also be utilised. We will also have a section on Pelvic floor exercises and learn to gain more control over this area.

All this will be followed by a relaxing meditation, if you are taking hypnobirthing classes feel free to bring in a copy of any of the scripts you are finding particularly helpful. This section of the class gives you time just for yourself and your baby, without any distractions or things you need to be doing… bliss!

Vinyasa Flow is a mixed ability class, from complete beginners to advanced 015b78bedbeb279256b0f5c13ec28063a88a37ff57practitioners, a basic level of fitness is required as this style of yoga is a continual flow where each movement moves into the next, a bit like a dance. There is a focus on strength, stamina and improving flexibility, but also a sense of fun and playfulness. We incorporate, Physical movements (Asana), breath work (Pranayama), relaxation and meditation for a well rounded class. Be prepared to get a bit hot and sweaty! As always in yoga you can take it at your own pace and rest as much as needed. I will offer modifications and adjustments throughout so you can tailor the class to your own needs.

Hope to see some of you there! Any questions or for more info contact me Here
