Sivananda Classical Hatha Yoga taught online for now.

From 54 £ /h

I'm a Sivananda Classical Hatha Yoga instructor and teach all levels, beginners, intermediate and advanced levels. Currently teaching back in studio gym/leisure centers or privately online.
A typical open level class includes Relaxation, Pranayama (breathing exercises), warm-ups including Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar), Single & Double leg raises, 12 Basic asanas (postures), and final deep relaxation. The focus is on mastering the basic asanas from which variations are then added to further deepen the practice. The asanas follow an order that allows for the systematic movement of every major part of the body in a balanced way that enhances prana or life force energy, keeping the mind quiet and without the need to think beyond each individual pose.
I also teach chair yoga which will be different from the above class description but still includes relaxation, breathing exercises and simpler chair-based yoga.

About Me

My journey started at a young age whilst she attended school in India where spiritual practice was an integral part of daily life. After returning to the UK and completing a mathematics degree at University of London, I felt a lack of job satisfaction in the corporate world. I completed a course on Meditation / healing in India where I came to the realisation that I wanted to teach Yoga. Having practised Yoga for 15 years (pranayama and meditation), I went on to become qualified in Sivananda Hatha Yoga in 2010 and did the Advanced Teachers Training Course in 2013. I now teaches traditional and classical form of Hatha Yoga in a variety of settings (currently only online and not at the gyms or leisure centres due to COVID-19) for those looking for work/life balance as well as volunteers at The North London Hospice teaching gentle chair yoga and breathing exercises to patients suffering from Cancer, COPD and various other illnesses.

My three main areas of expertise (not necessarily in this order):

- Chess: I teach chess to beginners and intermediate players up to ELO 1800 or ECF 1700, working on the tactical and strategic aspects of openings, middle games and endgames.. "chess is life in miniature"!

- Fitness / Running / Triathlon: I coach people who want to get fitter and generally incorporate any endurance activity into a health(ier) lifestyle. I am a dedicated coach who has competed in several marathons and Ironman races (also qualified for the Ironman World Championship). I focus on nutrition, stress and sleep as well for a holistic approach.

- Languages: I specialize in tutoring Italian and Spanish; my style is to keep students challenged and motivated through simple classes and practical exercises (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary).. I'm a demanding teacher but will guide you in a fun and interactive way.

Please contact me if you have any interest in spending more time and energy in any of these 3 areas, and don't forget that "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" is a good approach to look after yourself :)

Would you like some low-impact activity to work on strengthening and stretching all the different group muscles? While also easing your thoughts and giving yourself a moment of relax and mindfulness? Then Pilates is for you.

Yoga is for everyone! This class is designed to be as inclusive as possible. Promoting students to be present and true to their unique bodies and set of experiences. The class invites students to participate in Asana (movement) practice as well as Paranayama (breath work) in order to feel grounded and present on and off of the Yoga mat! There will be a combination of strengthening and opening Yoga Asanas.

My classes are informed by my own experience of being deaf - if you have any access needs or are apprehensive about joining a studio Yoga class I aim to give you the confidence and understanding of the possibilities of Yoga.

Each class is designed to foster deep connections within oneself. I prefer reading the individual's/collective energy. This allows me to design a nurturing and empowering practice, ensuring that it resonates with everyone present. I emphasise the importance of honouring your own body and its limits, encouraging each participant to listen to their own intuition and let their moves be the moves of truth. My guidance is rooted in traditional practices, but I adapt the sequences to make them accessible and beneficial for all levels. Moreover, as yoga is not only asanas, I love to include meditation and pranayamas in the classes while I incorporate live singing (in-person classes). I use my voice to enhance the atmosphere and create a deeper connection to the practice and one's body, as the frequency of singing is healing.

This class will involve an opening meditation, warm up, sequence of flows, closing meditation and savasana.

Each class will focus on a different theme, whether be building towards a peak pose, honing in on a chakra or working on strengthening/mobilising a specific part of the body. This can be requested by the client.

Hannah teaches open & friendly Vinyasa flow classes accompanied by mood boosting playlists, where we will interweave work on strength and stability. She uses the breath as a core element of the practice, helping students connect with themselves throughout.

Whether you are looking to increase flexibility, gain strength or feel more grounded in your everyday life, her classes will offer a space to take what you need on any given day. Hannah passionately believe that yoga is for everybody’s body and always give variations and modifications so the practice can be accessed by all. She also gives gentle offerings of assists, adjustments and breathing techniques that can be used on and off the mat.

You'll be encouraged to meet yourself on the mat, practice with self acceptance, and leave feeling centered and content!

This class is dedicated to all those who wish to calm the nervous system and work on rooting themselves in the present moment. Connecting with the body and its language. A combination of yoga and somatic techniques that help us understand how our body works and its relationship with the mind.

For all levels, because we're not looking for virtuosity in complicated positions, but to refine our perception, communication and understanding of our ‘total self’.

We'll use asanas and pranayama, as well as micromovements and meditation. Everyone is welcome!

A perfect class if you're going through a period of stress or a lot of mental activity or worry, if you lead a very sedentary life, or simply if you want to relax and move your body.

The purpose of those classes is education, not on the superficial level of mimicking form, but on a profoundly deep level of understanding the full use of the body as an integral whole to maximize full function of each individual's unique movement potential.

The aim is toward maximum physicality in function and overall health as well as a state of relaxation and a stimulation of the body's energy centres and meridians that is revitalising and
healing.

The benefits of yoga also include gaining flexibility and working on breathing skills concentration, balance, endurance, muscular and vital strength, as well as strengthening the nervous system and immune system.

The content and dynamics of the practices will be adapted to your experience, needs, age, and specific circumstances, seeking to gain the greatest possible benefit.

I have experience working with and teaching beginners and people with little experience of physical work as well as children in the field of dance, acting movement, and yoga.

If you feel that there's more to life, if you feel that there's something missing, or you're feeling stuck in some way, our meditation sessions can help elevate, give clarity and move you forward.

MY APPROACH:
*My sessions are for ALL levels and ALL ages (assessed on a case-by-case basis), I will meet you for the lessons where you're at.

*All sessions are tailored around your needs. When working with me, you have my full energy and attention. I'm here for the sole purpose of assisting you.

*Heart-led approach: as a space holder I'm here to receive you in a completely non-judgemental and compassionate way. It's my job to make you feel safe and I will be there to guide you through anything you want to explore in these sessions.

~

Meditation is the Root, but there are many branches that may be required for an individual's development. This is why I like to incorporate various modalities (as needed) such as:
*qigong
*breathwork/pranayama
*somatic movement
*holistic bodywork
*strength conditioning
*sound healing
*plus advisories regarding nutrition, lifestyle, and more...

The core of my approach is that which has been taught by all ancient traditions: the path of Self-Awareness. Through self-awareness we can live with clarity and authenticity.

Before we can feel safe, stable and not be in a reactionary state, we must clear and re-balance the mind. Then we are in a position to gain new insights and open up to new possibilities.

The biggest problem in today’s world is focus. Most of us are on autopilot 95% of the time (this is proven by the latest neuroscience). We must develop our concentration by having a meditation practice and being mindful during our day.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
A central part of my practice is sharing, discussion, reflection. Sessions are usually oriented around a certain topic of discussion/sharing, where you would bring a specific question, topic or issue to explore further. We may start (or end) with a tea (with optional assistive herbs), and see where it takes us.

Using meditation/discussion as a starting point, intuitively I will guide the session along its natural trajectory, incorporating different things as required.

Everyone is different, every day is different ~ so we just go with the flow of what the present moment asks of us.

WORKING WITH ME ON A DEEPER LEVEL:
I have limited spaces for working more closely 1:1 - for those looking for a deep recalibration and transformation. The extent of this offering is a full blueprint that comes from my life’s work of spiritual training, study and holistic life design.

Sharing with you my philosophy and principles, and many years of experience - for the right people I am available for this level of mentorship.

I do not subscribe to a specific religion, but I'm so very grateful to be able to draw upon the timeless wisdom of such venerated traditions:

Various ancient lineages of Yoga
Advaita Vedanta
Buddhism (Zen, Theravada, etc.)
Taoism (Water Method)
Sufism
Mystic Christian tradition
... and many more.

Wishing you total fulfilment and prosperity in this life,
Vincent
