In one form or another, our yoga classes have been running for almost six years in Montpellier, Cheltenham. We like to think that those who attend see their practices as an essential part of their weekly regime, an antidote to the stresses of the working week and a little oasis of calm where they can take a little ‘me time’.
There are normally two qualified teachers leading the Cheltenham and Tewkesbury classes, so we can keep a watchful eye to ensure a safe and satisfying practice.
Whilst we vary the nature of the practice from class to class, we keep returning to similar techniques, sequences and postures to deepen our relationship with them. Participants can always expect something to positively influence the body and the mind.
Our classes help people to understand
- What yoga is and what the potential benefits are to the individual.
- That it’s not just about getting yourself into different shapes, or about building the body beautiful. It’s about so much more – the healthy working of the body, energy, the mind, focus, breath, reducing stress levels and how we approach life in general.
- That you don’t have to be fit, flexible and young to get involved with yoga and access its many benefits, but these can be a result of regular practice.
- That yoga is not in conflict with but is a support to daily life, beliefs or faiths.
- That yoga is a serious business but can also be great fun.
- That as we are all individuals, it would be unreasonable and inadvisable to expect everyone to approach their practice in the same way. Yoga should be to each according to their needs and from each according to their ability.
- As such we hope all our classes in Cheltenham and Tewkesbury are a fun and positive experience for those who join us.
