Martin teaches Hatha Flow Yoga which via a series of postures, internal dynamics and breathing techniques, encourages a deeper understanding and control of the physical body. This process of enquiry, adjustment and acceptance brings about a spontaneous shift in the way that we think about the body and how we use it.
The physical practice, concentration, awareness and graceful expression of yoga posture brings together disparate elements of our being and expresses them harmoniously. This articulation systematically releases layers of tension and generates a calming and uplifting sense of well being.
For the beginner, there is a balanced introduction to the benefits of specific yoga techniques and for the more experienced, an anatomical focus to help build on the stunning simplicity of this practice.
All classes are 90 minutes long and some yoga mats are available (although it's best to bring your own), blocks and belts are provided. Spaces are limited so please come at least 10 minutes early with an empty tummy and an open mind!
