Hello, my name is Hannah. I am a yoga teacher qualified in the practice of Ashtanga and Vinyasa flow. As with most people, I became drawn to yoga due to the physical benefits of both fitness and developing flexibility. Through this I also found yoga and meditation a necessary vent for dealing with day to day stress. Consistency as well as discipline and a willingness to learn the philosophy of yoga led me to travel to India to complete my 200 hour teacher training at Sampoorna yoga, in Goa.
For me I love the freedom and fluidity a vinyasa yoga class brings. Throughout practice I often theme classes around postures that work on a specific element, such as hip openers or back bends. Allowing practitioners to learn and have an awareness of certain movements that compliment each other in order to create the necessary depth and strength resulting in the fullest expression of a pose. Most importantly I encourage students to have an awareness of their own body and to constantly move intuitively. Incorporating pranayama (breath work) with both movement and a period meditation in every class encourages practitioners to feel truly present, connecting both the mind and body.
I am constantly learning and practising both on and off the mat. I truly believe yoga is for everyone, and if we all had a little bit of it in our lives the world would be a wonderful place. I hope to see you on the mat soon.
