I am thrilled to say I will finally be teaching a Hot Yoga Class in the area. I have been looking for the right place to run a course and have settled on the studio AT Buxton Pool (Thanks Buxton for giving It a go!). We hope to start early to mid June (Thursdays 12.15-13.30). This will be a hard class (1hr 15 mins) and participants will need to bring water and a towel. Light clothing is essential as you will be hot!

This style of yoga is not for the faint hearted. It is a great workout, non impact, yet strenuous. Expect to lose weight and gain flexibility quite rapidly, yet also know it may be one of the hardest hour and a quarter’s of your week! Yet having said that, it is one of my favourite yoga classes, you feel amazing at the end and you take that feeling away with you!

 

Spotlight Pose

One of my favourite poses has to be the Wheel. Difficult to achieve at first but with practice this is a pose which feels incredible, relieves back stiffness, opens the chest and shoulders and builds arm strength. To begin with, you start with the Bridge Pose (pictured below) and eventually, with the help of a qualified teacher, move upto the next level!
