Gentle Yoga & Peace
Gentle Yoga is a nurturing and peaceful yoga class where you can find grounding, gently stretch your body, and open your mind to new perspectives. This class is for anyone looking to feel more connected, release tension, and embrace a sense of calm.
A Calming and Grounding Yoga Class
As both a Yoga teacher and physiotherapist, I ensure a safe and supportive environment, guiding you with gentle hands-on assistance and offering alternative asanas when needed—so the practice suits your body’s unique needs.
We incorporate a combination of asanas (yoga poses), pranayama (breathing techniques), and meditation, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in relaxation.

The Benefits of Gentle Yoga
Gentle Yoga offers a multitude of benefits that enhance both physical and mental well-being. Here's a closer look at each advantage, supported by recent research:
Calms the Nervous System and Reduces Stress
Engaging in gentle yoga practices activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, scientific evidence shows that yoga supports stress management and mental health.
Improves Flexibility and Mobility
Regular participation in gentle yoga enhances flexibility and range of motion. A publication by Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health notes that gentle yoga relieves stress, increases flexibility, calms the mind, and strengthens the body.
Creates Balance Between Body and Mind
Gentle yoga fosters a harmonious connection between the physical body and mental state. Healthline highlights that yoga's potential benefits include improved flexibility, strength, and body awareness, contributing to overall balance.
Enhances Breath Awareness and Mindfulness
Incorporating pranayama (breathing techniques) in gentle yoga increases breath awareness and mindfulness. Medical News Today reports that yoga is a popular exercise that focuses on breathing, strength, and flexibility, which may provide many physical and mental health benefits.
Helps Release Tension and Cultivate Deep Relaxation
Gentle yoga poses effectively promote relaxation and reduce stress levels. These poses are usually slower and more restorative, allowing both the body and mind to unwind.
