E V E R Y B O D Y is a Yoga body. We are all unique and practice within our individual ability.
Classes are sequenced to offer options to all levels. The beauty of Yoga is that no matter your previous experience the benefits and outcome will be universal to each student.

Nope, just yourself and a smile! Mats, props and blankets are provided. You are welcome to use your own mat if you wish. All mats are sanitised after class.

A friendly, welcoming atmosphere, zero judgment and no space for big egos! I teach Hatha (slower paced) and Vinyasa (faster paced) style classes. The beauty of teaching small classes is to tailor sequences to your needs and to detect your preferred style and pace. I will ask you to fill out a medical questionaire when we first meet and ask you to write down at least 3 areas (physically or mentally) in which you would like to improve.
What is Yoga?
Yoga (sanskrit) translates in English as 'Yoke' or 'union'. Yoga originated in India many, many years ago and although the practice has evolved from the traditional roots the aim remains the same. To quiet the mind by connecting the breath to the movement in the body.
What shall I wear?
What should I expect from my first class?
Wear comfortable, stretchy clothing and bare feet. No need to buy anything new, just wear whatever you are comfortable in.
Where shall I park?
Is the studio on the ground floor?
The studio in Great Corby is up one flight of stairs. If this is a problem for you, please contact me to arrange an alternative solution.
Housekeeping
To ensure that we are all on the same page please read the following to to help our time together run smoothly.
Hygiene
Please come to class fresh and clean. Use the toilet before class to avoid disrupting others.
Please note there are no public toilet facilities at Tow Top.
Mobile phones

Belongings
Please stow bags, shoes, coats and phones in the room opposite
Mats, blankets and props
Please wipe down your mat after class with the wipes provided and leave your props and blankets as you found them
Perfume
Please refrain from wearing perfume, in a small space scents can be overpowering and can affect the experience of other students
Conversation
When you enter the studio please keep pre/post class events outside the room. Don't burden others with your personal problems. This is not a space for group counselling. Keep conversation light and positive
Privacy
View your mat as your own deserted island. Stay on your mat physically and mentally. Give others space and privacy
Non judgement/non striving
A Yogic mindset is to avoid judgment and ego. On the mat, this can mean that we do not judge ourselves or others. It does not matter how deep one gets into a posture, for it's all relative to an individual's anatomy.
If the alignment is correct then the result is the same for everyone.
Yoga is not a competition.
With practice, the range of movement and strength within the physical body can improve but this should neither be pushed nor rushed.
Avoid comparing yourself with others, instead, focus on your own practice
Great Corby village hall is a sandstone building next to the big playing field. There is plenty of space to park alongside to pavement next to the field. Please be mindful not to block any residents driveway access.
Tow Top is near Middle Gelt Bridge, if you are not sure of the area please ask for directions though the sat nav will get you here CA8 9JJ
