Yoga schedule

21 Jul

Hi everybody:

During the summer I am teaching several very small classes. Unless a group books me I am mostly teaching one-to-one in my yoga & treatment room. Ashtanga, a strong Iyengar inspired sequence with limited use of props to no props and gentle yin based Hatha yoga are available.

First available booking each day: 7am for fully paying yoga students (£25 per session) & 8am for concession students (have a chat with me about this). Last bookings each day 7pm. All classes will run between 60-90 minutes, please inform me of your schedule if you need to leave early, I will adapt your class. Depending on my schedule start times may vary, especially for concession students.

No classes saturdays. Only gentle classes on full moon and new moon, no Ashtanga on those days. You can come for practice on your period, we will only practice gently, usually with no full inversions and no strong twisted asana.

I recommend that anybody coming to practice with me also regularly attends one of Cliff Bond’s Yoga Classes at the Wellbeing Centre on Hope Street in Liverpool, as he is my original teacher whom I have a lot of respect for. I have found his classes physically and emotionally therapeutic.

Provisional Yoga Schedule

2 Jul

Hello everybody!

I now have a provisional schedule for Yoga classes. Please take a look on my YOGA page. I scheduled classes for 7.30am friday, sunday, monday. You may come 30 minutes earlier if needed. As well as afternoon classes on the same days. The Yoga styles offered are Ashtanga Mysore Style, which means instruction into self practice; and the Yoga India sequences, which is based on my Indian teacher’s study with BKS Iyengar. Both create heat in the body, aid the expelling of toxins, release emotions and strengthen the immune system.

I try and teach with emphasis on body awareness, and encourage my students to be aware of what is a healthy stretch and what is pushing one’s ego beyond the healthy range. Beginners and practicing Yoga students are welcome. Ashtanga will be taught in sequence, not perfectly Mysore style but with the ambition to reach Mysore style one day. Breath, Body, Mind.

We are all learning.

Prices are available on the ‘price’ page. Please read the ‘code of conduct’ before coming for Yoga or Massage. (I’m german you might have guessed…)

Also: I am good friends with several other Yoga teachers in Liverpool and internationally, and am ALWAYS happy to recommend the best one for you, if you for any reason find I am at this time not quite right for you.

!!!   I love working with people with physical limitations and those recovering from health issues. Long term my interest lies in therapeutic / restorative yoga and bodywork. All Yoga is therapeutic. There are no times scheduled on this website, please contact me with your requirements. Currently I have a regular student who is 72 and just starting for the first time in his life to practice Yoga and he loves it. A recent student of mine is in his early 60’s and finds Yoga a great experience for body and emotions. He now mostly practices with my main teacher Cliff Bond in Liverpool, as I was away for some time to train in Thai Massage and Yoga.

happy with my choice

4 Jun

Yesterday I had the opportunity to work on a fellow artist and I only found out as we started the Thai Massage that she has had plenty before. My first client in England with Thai Massage experience. I am not sure, perhaps it was this information or her general energy, I enjoyed the treatment a lot. It was the first in the UK where I felt back at home with the body, mine as well as my clients. I had the most peaceful moments and really good, good focus. The kind of focus that just comes effortlessly and flows. I felt affirmed in my choice and is was a wonderful experience to work on someone who I could sense was very accepting of my touch. A small milestone reached.

I couldn’t have been more happy, when she described my work as ‘seriös und detailliert’ (professional and detailed : in my pressure points and general touch). Feedback from someone who has had a lot of Thai Massage and the majority at Wat Pho which is where I learnt my skills. I would love to  jump on the next flight to Thailand to continue my studies. But this may have to wait a year, and I am very keen to find myself 2 clients daily.

I have never been happier than now. Life is good. A wonderful partner, a new career path, without abandoning the existing one. I just feel that Thai Massage and of course Foot Masssage and Oil Massage are so entirely worthwhile, so right and holistic and healthy for life. I think it is an incredible blessing that I could train in these gifts and like as if that wasn’t enough that I also got to study and qualify with a Yoga Teaching certificate. It’s just utterly amazing. I am grateful for this fantastic opportunity!

And I can’t wait to keep sharing it.
