What are the benefits and who is it for:
We will focus on a more trauma-sensitive approach, considering the impact of the past months, which brought pressure on our nervous system. We will prioritise body awareness with mindful meditative practice. All these aspects, trauma, stress, anxiety, are affecting your brain, and yoga directly addresses these changes to the brain and nervous system using breath and movement. Some of the tools and benefits include:

The classes can include guided meditation to lower anxiety, different breathing techniques, suitable yoga routine, and working on the belly-power and pelvic floor. I can also teach Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) which is a wonderful self- sustainable technique which involves number of exercises to access the nervous system for self regulation). It is great for releasing deep stress, long lasting trauma and anxiety, which is exactly what everybody going through this time. I have so many useful things to teach.

Other information:
I will send a separate note to set up the ZOOM
Any questions, please feel free to ask. It is work in progress. I thank you in advance for your patience and support.
As it feels so important these days to have like-minded people to check in with, I'm going to offer the space for a brief exchange within a small group of people at the end of each class. You are free to join this or leave after the class has finished. I will explain more of that when we meet.
Yoga space:
If you have space at home, it would be good to set up a dedicated space. If not, you should clear a space (you know the amount of space you use in the studio) and if possible, maybe light some candles or have some yogic-type lighting. The better the ambience, the better the yoga session and the more benefit you will feel!
Finally, if you know anybody who you think might benefit from these classes, please feel free to share this information.
So, I hope you will manage to join in and I look forward to meeting you in your new yogic home on the screen at some stage ;-)
May these sessions support us all in these new and challenging times.
With love,
Anna

Additional classes for corporate groups can be arranged in the studio or at your location if there is a minimum of 8-10 people.
Places are limited, as classes are relatively small in numbers, so I can give everyone personal attention, suggest modifications and individual adjustments, if needed. So, please, text or call to let me know that you will be attending and to book your place. Mobil: 086 3843682
Here are a few things to enhance your learning and practice of Yoga:
- No experience of flexibility is required to practice Yoga. Yoga is for everyone.
- Try to arrive 10 minutes before class to sign up, to calm down and prepare mentally and physically for the class.
- When you enter the studio, please remove your shoes and turn off your cell phones.
- It is highly recommended to bring your own personal yoga mat for hygienic reasons. But you can get one in the studio or there are mats for sale at the reception.
- Yoga should not be practised on a full stomach (unless a specific condition prevents this).
- Remember to drink plenty of water after each class and hydrate yourself throughout a day.
- Wear comfortable and loose clothing and practice without shoes or socks.
- If you are pregnant please inform your teacher. If you have serious chronic health problems (illness, injury, or medical condition) please check with your doctor before beginning to practice yoga and notify your instructor before class. Not every pose is appropriate for everyone.
- While one class a week is better than none at all, yoga is most beneficial when practices regularly.
- Please refrain from wearing strong perfume
- Ask questions about anything that is not clear to you. You may ask during class when appropriate or after class.
- Please make every effort to arrive on time. Late arrivals are disturbing to the teacher and the students.
- If you arrive a few minutes late, take a breath, and quietly sit at the entrance until eyes are open and movement or talking has begun. At that point, unroll your mat and enter as slowly and quietly as you can. Centring is a very important part of the Yoga practice. It is an inner attunement in preparation for the practice, where you suppose establish and centre attention on the breath and loosen limbs, torso and spine for the varicose poses that follow.
- If you have to leave before the end of a class, please inform your teacher in advance and try to leave prior to Final Relaxation Savasana to ensure that other students have a fulfilling experience. This is the most important part of the practice to absorb the benefit of your work. As you integrate all the energy (Prana) which was created in the other poses in all parts of your body restoring you.
- Let go of the competitive mind-set. Yoga is non-competitive. It is not just a work out, it is not just techniques for relaxation, and it is not just cross-training. It is a spiritual practice that makes the body stronger, more flexible, and generally much healthier. The purpose is to calm the mind, open the heart, and stimulate our spiritual evolution.
- Be kind and loving to yourself by accepting where you are. It is okay to come out of a pose before the teacher says to. Yoga is not “gutting it out” or “no pain no gain”. To the contrary, the body will respond beautifully when you show it kindness, acceptance, and love. Rest sometimes. Do what you can. With what you have, with where you are.
- Students take responsibility for their own practice.
- Classes finish with the gesture and saying Namaste. This means: I honour the place in you in which the entire universe dwells. I honour the place in you in which is of love, of truth, of light, and of peace. When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, we are one. ~Namaste~
