Yoga

Yoga improves strength, flexibility and stability in both body and mind. It gives enormous support in stress releasing and other health issues such as tension, stiffness, fatigue, headache, backache, high blood pressure, anxiety and insomnia.

The most common line I hear people say is
“I’m not flexible so I can’t do yoga”

Everyone can do yoga. Yoga is a journey. With practice and cultivating a space of self acceptance and surrender in body and mind, you will see results.

Yoga can be very daunting to someone new, so my aim is to understand your needs and create a session suited to those needs. You will receive clear yet warm direction within a supportive and motivating environment.

Yoga sessions are breath-led, and cultivate self-awareness, healthy alignment and balance. They focus on strengthening and lengthening the entire body. Adjustments are also suggested to assist you in postures.

Sessions include:

• Pranayama (breathing exercises)
• Warm-ups including Sun Salutations
• Asanas (postures) which are modified based on your level of practice
• Full body relaxation

A yoga session with me will support you to slow down, worry less and love more.

Testimonials

“I have to admit, I have been doing different types of yoga for the past 5 years and Angie’s class is by far the most traditional and authentic one I have done. It is a mixture of breathing exercises, relaxation and physical postures. It is in essence what yoga is about. She takes her time to explain, never in a hurry or in pursuit of the clock, and never pushes you more than your body can take. The benefits of the classes are showing in my daily life. Even outside class hours she is always responsive to any questions I have. I highly recommend her!”

George (Equity Investment Analyst) – West London

“I started yoga lessons with Angela to improve flexibility and practice mindfulness. She’s an amazing teacher and explains/demonstrates everything very clearly. She’s also very supportive and great at tailoring the sessions specifically to your needs. Our sessions have helped me to regulate my breathing and generally feel more relaxed throughout the day. It’s also very rewarding to notice subtle improvements in the postures week after week. I would recommend Angela to anyone who wants to learn more about Yoga and experience its benefits.”

Daniel (University Student) – Central London

“Angela has been working around my crazy work schedule and coming to my home in London Bridge for early morning yoga classes. I am a beginner level student, but after trying a few other one-on-one teachers, I absolutely love having found Ang! Like many of us, I lead a stressful and busy life but starting yoga with Ang has given me a confidence and energy boost to start a long day at work. We focus on breathing exercises for the first part of the class – at first I thought I would not realise much of a benefit in this, but now find myself thinking about my breathing on a whole new level – whether it is on a treadmill or during a stressful moment when I need to re-energise and calm myself. Ang caters to my physical energy levels every lesson. She senses when I am sore or tired and adapts the class to suit. Her method of instruction is both informative and reassuring. She is always friendly, positive and smiling, something I am always amazed at so early in the morning! Though I usually struggle out of bed to make a class, the fact that she is bright and happy at my door and eases me into my day, always makes me glad I made the effort! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Angela to those either keen to give yoga a try or to seasoned yoga students.”

Bella (Lawyer) – Central London

“Being new to yoga and exercise in general, Angela made me feel comfortable and at ease. Having at this point experienced two other teachers, who I had found difficult to follow, I was worried that my third time would not be the charm. However, I can genuinely say that Angela’s consistent and gentle way of explaining each pose filled me with confidence in my own abilities. The pace of Angela’s class was just right, and I found that with her guidance I was able to focus on my inner self in a way that I had not been able to before. Angela respects your individual ability, but at the same time will encourage you to push yourself to reach your yoga goals. I highly recommend her classes, especially for those who may have tried yoga before and not gained as much from it as they were hoping to.”

Jess (Project Manager) – North London

“I have tried various alternative therapies for dealing with stress, migraines and sleep issues. After investing a lot of time and money on Chinese acupuncture and also seeing a Physiotherapist, I found my back pain unsolved and unsettled, hence I decided to try Yoga. I am so pleased that I found Angela to give me private lessons. Her knowledge and training techniques are certainly helping me increase the strength in my muscles, tone my body and improve my breathing, and her patience and calmness helps me learn.”

Rakhshi (IT Consultant) – South West London

“A very attentive and inspirational teacher.”

Tom (TV Producer) – North London

“It offers me a space to mentally focus on something away from work and personal life.”

“Your yoga classes are the highlight of my weekdays!”

“I just want to say thank you. I came to yoga not thinking it would hold my attention, but then it did seem to have a positive impact outside of the class. This was unexpected and quite pleasant. This was made possible due to your very clear guidance and the structure/content of the class.”

Hannah, Helen, Colm – University of London (Corporate Yoga)

“Angela is a wonderful teacher. She is always considerate of her students. Stretching has helped to improve my back problems. Her classes have been great for my balance, stretching, breathing and concentration.”

Anthony – NHS England (Corporate Yoga)

“I leave feeling relaxed and energised with less tension”

“I feel physically energised and I forget about work stresses after the session”

“I always come away feeling better and a bit more prepared to face the rest of the week”

“Really nice thing to do after work to de-stress”

“The classes are so friendly, welcoming and inclusive. I feel relaxed and able to focus on my practice during the session and enjoy the community atmosphere before and after. Great value!”
