Hatha Yoga

Natalie's classes incorporate traditional hatha style, a touch of chi kung movements, and flowing postures, posture correction plays an important part. She explains a great deal about the organs and emotional benefits through the postures and the relation to the chakras. Natalie teaches the fundamentals of yoga, healing and energy giving you the power to heal yourself.

Natalie's classes are gentle yet strong, working with core muscle, asana, pranayama, bhandas and meditation. You do not need to be an expert or extremely flexible as the classes are adjusted to each individual. These classes are not floor gymnastics, they are designed to integrate body, mind, spirit and bring the entire being into a healthy state.

Catherine's classes begin with a short meditation on the breath, a brief pranayama practice and then proceeds to focus on asana practice. The breath is integrated with each asana and emphasis is placed on alignment and developing profound body awareness. Starting with simple stretches to open the body and calm the mind the class progresses to a series of flowing sequences that become more challenging depending on the level of the class. Each class works on building strength, flexibility, balance and stamina with particular focus on building core strength. The aim is to inspire students to cultivate a deeper understanding with in their own practice by encouraging an exploratory attitude.
