About Phillipa
I am a British Wheel of Yoga trained teacher, and I have also completed their module with Julie Friedeberger on teaching yoga to those living with cancer. I am also a trained Satyananda Yoga teacher but always say I teach classical hatha yoga. A class will include postures and pranayama and relaxation as a given, but we also look at the kris, mudras and mediation...it is a whole package.
Yoga is so helpful for people from all walks of life, backgrounds and health concerns. I learn from my students every week how restorative and supportive yoga is.
About Yoga
My style of yoga
I am often asked what my style of yoga is. I find this really difficult to answer as I teach what I know and from the heart. The scope of yoga is vast and I rule nothing out - but I only share what I have tried and think others will find beneficial or interesting. My suggestion is to come along for a couple of sessions, and if you like my way of teaching fantastic. If not I can try and help you find someone more suitbale for you. We all have different needs at different times.
When you practise yoga you are working with the mind, the body and the breath. In Hatha Yoga (‘Ha’ means sun and ‘tha’ means moon), we are working to balance the solar and lunar - the yin and yang - energies in the body, mind and spirit. It really does not matter what other name you give your practice, as long as you are practicing with awareness, being here and now - and really importantly accepting and appreciating what you have now.
I am often told that 'I cannot do yoga as I am so inflexible'. My response is always ‘if you are breathing you can do yoga - in fact you already are doing yoga’! By practicing the asanas (postures)you become more flexible, but yoga is so much more than just the asanas, it helps you breathe properly, it helps you relax, we learn to meditate to help find that peace within...I could make a huge list! Please give yoga a try. It really can make a difference to how you feel and how you cope with the stresses and strains of our Western society.
The branches of yoga
There are five main branches of yoga
• raja yoga — the yoga of meditation
• hatha yoga — the yoga of balance
• bhakti yoga — the yoga of love & devotion
• jnana yoga — the yoga of knowledge and wisdom
• karma yoga — the yoga of cause and effect
All of the above can be found in my classes in one form or another!
