What to expect from my Hatha Yoga classes

My style of yoga is slow but powerful, I really encourage everyone to focus on working with their breath and within their own bodys’ abilities. There are many different options within yoga that can help everyone enjoy their practice. I really encourage my students to find their limits and to play with their edges.

I have a light hearted and open approach to teaching. When you come to one of my classes you will feel a sense of community and no judgement. If you are curious about yoga and have never been to a class or have practiced the stronger style of yoga in the past but would like to take it down a step or two then my classes would be a wonderful fit for you.

When you come to one of my Hatha classes you can expect to start with some breath work. I always like to help students to bring themselves into the present moment and not worry about the past or think about the future. We then start off slow, warming up our bodys ready for the practice. We gradually build up the heat within our bodies moving through various different poses, playing with our abilities and learning how to make the poses our own. It is so important to understand that yoga is not what the poses look like, but what they feel like within your body. Every person is made differently, we are all unique and have had our own journeys through life. We then slow down our practice and finish with Savasana which allows us time to scan our bodies.

What do you need to bring/wear?

What to Wear

Wear something comfortable, a pair of leggings or jogging bottoms – something that you can move freely in which wont dig in at the waist.

What to bring

A yoga mat and a blanket. The blanket can be useful for placing under your knees when we are practicing kneeling postures and also for covering yourself in savasana at the end of class.

Bottle of water – it is important to keep hydrated, we rarely drink as much as we should.

You are also welcome to bring your own bricks and a strap, although these are provided if required.

Hear what my students say:

You cannot overestimate the benefits of doing yoga, from the feeling of stretching and strengthening your body in Hatha to the sense of calm relaxation you get after Yin. Sarah is a wonderful teacher of both methods, confident, calm and encouraging with a fabulously soothing voice perfect for Yin. We are always encouraged to listen to our own bodies, to find what suits us best and different adaptations of the poses are suggested so we each get the best out of the practice. Sarah is very supportive and encouraging and has a wonderful confident yet calm approach to her teaching. Tuesday Hatha is a very positive and strengthening session, while Friday night Yin is a wonderful way to end the week with an hour of calming, soothing postures. These sessions have been a lifeline for me during lockdown. Cannot recommend highly enough. Fabulous and fun. Thank you, Sarah.

I attended Sarah’s online Zoom classes throughout the whole of lockdown for both Hatha and Yin Yoga. Sarah is very knowledgeable, and I learnt so much from her about yoga and the benefits it has for my body and mind. As a Monday to Friday worker the Friday Yin was a great way to begin my weekend. Sarah is an excellent teacher who uses differentiation in her classes to ensure all abilities are included. She is approachable and friendly, creating a comfortable atmosphere in the class. Although the classes were online, the social aspect was still very much part of the experience, as you were able to join the class earlier to socialise and chat with the group before class. Whether you are an experienced yogi or curious to give yoga a try, I can whole heartedly recommend Sarah as a yoga teacher!

I have been practicing yoga with Sarah since 2019 and can thoroughly recommend her, she is an excellent teacher. She always gives options for all different abilities of yoga - beginners to experienced - so everyone can choose their own way into each posture. I would like to thank Sarah for keeping us all going throughout the lockdown on Zoom, and it’s great to be back to in person classes again!!

It would be lovely to see you in class, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.
