Classes
I am delighted to offer again a variety of in-person classes to support your yoga practice and our lovely yoga community.
11.30AM - 1.00PM
IN PERSON IN LONDON
The Honour Oak Wellness Rooms
Every Saturday for each six weeks series until further notice.
This series of classes focuses on the practice of sun salutation postures in the tradition of hatha (sun and moon) yoga.
The classes are slow and careful leading to the gradual cultivation of strength, alignment of the muscular and skeletal systems, freedom in the breath and vitality in body and mind.
The classes are suitable for all levels from complete beginners to more advanced students who want to explore the full potential of each step of the sequence of poses that together create the transformational potential of sun salutations.
The classes also Incorporate meditation, breath work and an introduction to Qi Gong (energy cultivation practices), which compliments the regenerative power of the sun salutation practice. With a regular practice, there is a feeling of coming back to life as mind, breath, body and life force (Qi) come into alignment.

Restorative Spinal Release
7:00PM - 8.30PM
Friday evenings | £20 per class
All students sign up for a series of six classes to guarantee a place on the mat in a small class of 6 students.
Join Gillian in the lovely new Wellness Space above the Nor gift shop in the courtyard of Beckenham Place Park.
Get ready for the weekend – a perfect way to de-stress at the end of the week. This is a slow and safe, deeply relaxing class introducing and breaking down a range of spinal release postures and breath work for beginners as well as more experienced students. All levels are welcome.
The spinal release practice combines breath work with deep relaxation in a slow and careful sequence of postures designed to release tension in the whole body. The practice brings relief to aching backs, shoulders and neck and restores the nervous system to a state of equilibrium, creating the conditions for the natural healing potential of the body to unfold. There is nothing like the state of peace and calm that arises from the spinal release practice and the cumulation of this class on a daily basis is transformational for everyone but especially those students who suffer from chronic physical or emotional tension and/or insomnia.

Do you feel that there is a particular issue coming up in your life, or in your yoga or meditation practice that you would like to begin to explore in a one-to-one session? Or perhaps you would like to begin to develop your own home practice and would like some advice about how to craft your sequence or routine.
One-to-one sessions make possible a careful enquiry into the knowledge that is to be gained from the limitations, frustrations, injuries, particular areas of resistance, or curiosity that arise as your practice evolves over time.
Email Gillian to book an appointment.
