Our Approach to Yoga
We are committed to the viniyoga of Yoga, the application of Yoga respecting
individual ability, interests and needs, as inspired by the teachings of TKV
Desikachar and T Krishnmacharya.
Regular classes
We run regular classes at our own studio in Hanley Swan (near Malvern), and also
in Worcester. There are a variety of daytime and evening classes, check out the
Living Yoga
website for more details.
Gail runs regular anti-natal classes also from the studio in Hanley Swan.
Individual Tuition
Individual tuition is aimed at developing your own practice, personally designed
to meet your needs and lifestyle. This was how Yoga was traditionally taught. If
you really want to develop your Yoga, and make it really effective in supporting
your life, or you want a Yoga routine to help with a specific need or problem,
then this is for you.
Both Gail and Dave have specialized in individual tuition for many years and
have a large client base including many Yoga Teachers.
