Yoga is for every body. Age, size, gender, fitness level – doesn’t matter.
People constantly tell me “I’m not flexible enough for yoga”…. My answer to that is, the more inflexible you are; the more your body needs yoga!
We start off in life incredibly flexible and limber, and over time, repetitive movements and inactivity slowly starts to lock our bodies into place. It is never too late to make a change and make a difference to how your body feels, and how you feel.
Additional to the physical aspects is the incredible life changing effect that yoga can have on the mind too - if you are open to it. We spend so much of our lives constantly in Go Go Go mode, always busy and never stopping to recharge, which leads to us burning out physically and emotionally. Living in the future or the past, we forget to enjoy the present and to savour each moment. Yoga can help us find the stillness within, which in turn, allows us to find inner peace and opens up the pathway to connect to our intuition.
Yoga is not about what you look like in a pose, being better than the person next to you in class, or pushing yourself to your limits. It’s all about learning to listen to what your body is telling you, learning to be gentle to yourself (and others), letting go of judgement, and healing yourself from the inside out. It’s about being present in the moment, letting go of the internal chatter and reconnecting to the breath. As we balance and align our bodies, we also come into alignment and balance within our mind and spirit.
The physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of yoga is endless –
I never imagined that yoga would become my passion. I have fallen in love with it and my heart and soul is driving me to share this gift with others. If you would like to discover what yoga could do for you, please join me on this journey.
Now when it comes to Strength and Fitness training -
I’ve learnt that I can love an active lifestyle, and now I don’t want to live without it. I’ve found a way for it to be enjoyable and not a chore, and I can show you how. It doesn’t have to be a struggle where you are exhausted afterwards, and you can’t walk the next day. It doesn’t have to be the same monotonous routine where you never end up seeing or feeling any results. You don’t have to spend 2 hours at the gym every day destroying yourself and living off bland salads to be healthy.
It is detrimental to your health to over-stress the body with too much high intensity exercise. Don’t get me wrong, working up a good sweat and challenging the body is still necessary, but not for the duration you think. The body needs time to heal and recharge for positive changes and adaptation to happen - like a car, you can’t be in 5th gear all the time, you need time in each gear, and you need to refuel and change the oil every so often. Your body needs constant change and variation to avoid hitting plateaus. And most importantly, it’s meant to be fun, otherwise it’s not sustainable - who would have thought?!
I genuinely care about helping people with the full spectrum of their health & wellbeing (mind, body, soul) and I do not see each client as just another number. If you care about making a long term change to increase your health, wellbeing and quality of life and are not just after superficial goals and short term fixes – then I am the trainer for you.
