Yoga

Shiatsu in North Yorkshire

I have been teaching yoga since1988, I am a British Wheel of Yoga Diploma Tutor and hold an MA in Yoga Philosophy. I am passionate about including all aspects of yoga and ancient wisdom in ways accessible to everyone. I regularly return to India, the home of yoga, for deeper understanding and to continue my personal development journey.

“Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion. It is the most valuable inheritance of the present. It is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow”

Swami Satyananda Saraswati

Yoga Classes

My yoga classes are based in Easingwold, York and Thirsk. All classes include postures (asanas), breathwork (pranayama) and deep relaxation (Yoga Nidra) or meditation appropriate to the level of the class.

My holistic approach is informed by Satyananda Yoga Tradition and emphasises gradual development of each student’s potential in terms of flexibility, strength, mental quietness and emotional balance.

Why come to a Yoga Class?

Coming to class provides a structured and guided time of practise outside the distractions of home and work environments.

People come to class for many reasons, for example:

	For restorative “me” time
	To de-stress
	To stretch and strengthen their body
	To recover from backache
	To improve breathing habits
	During pregnancy to prepare for birth
	To improve chronic health conditions
	To improve mental health
	To recover from injury

Why not give it a try?

Yoga Retreats and Workshops

I regularly organise yoga retreats in beautiful North Yorkshire and yoga workshops to explore aspects in depth. More information about these is on the Events page.

I am committed to holistic healthcare and well-being. I offer individual shiatsu or oil massage with the optional addition of aromatherapy oils. I am especially interested in improving chronic conditions and working in the field of mental health. I adapt each treatment to the individual needs of my client taking into account what is required on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.

I studied Shiatsu in Sheffield and at The Shiatsu College, Newcastle and became a Member of the professional Register of the Shiatsu Society (MRSS) in 1995.

My experience of yoga and other complementary modalities enables me to help give constructive advice on breathing techniques, exercises and stretches, to help you facilitate your own healing process. This builds on work already done in the treatment and allows you to take ownership of your own health outside of the treatment.

What is Shiatsu?

Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese hands-on healing therapy. It aims to promote physical, mental and emotional well-being by releasing the free flow of energy in the body along energy pathways called meridians. It creates a quiet time and space for the receiver in which transformation and healing can occur.

Shiatsu techniques include gentle holding, the application of finger and palm pressure on the meridians, as well as more dynamic rotations and stretches when appropriate. It is a deeply relaxing experience and regular Shiatsu sessions help to prevent the build up of stress in our daily lives. Shiatsu can be effective for a wide range of conditions – from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health. It is based on the same principles as acupuncture, but without the needles!

Treatments last around an hour and usually take place fully clothed on a futon at floor level, or if that is not comfortable, on a chair or couch.

Shiatsu treatments are available in Easingwold, Thirsk and York.
