There are many different types of yoga; you may have heard the terms Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Hatha and Iyengar, and there are other disciplines such as Hot Yoga (sometimes known as Bikram) and Kundalini among others.
At Kamakosha, my classes are based on VINYASA, a form of yoga that combines the flow of movement aligned with breathing exercises so the poses follow on from each other such as in the Sun Salutation.
Each class has a different focus. For example, one week we may concentrate on poses that strengthen our core, another week we could focus on the hips, another on the neck and shoulders and so on. This way, we can work on the whole body and no two classes are the same so pupils are challenged in a different way each week.
Sometimes we may use props, such as blocks or straps to help us move deeper into a pose in a safe and controlled manner but it is always up to the individual how far they choose to go. I always lead the classes, demonstrating new poses and offering individual adjustments to help students progress at their own pace.
There is NO EGO IN YOGA only a desire to improve muscle flexibility, reduce stress, enhance focus and raise energy levels. If you would like to learn more about Vinyasa yoga or join one of my classes please contact me on 07947 653380 or email josie@kamakosha.co.uk . I’d love to hear from you.
