Yoga Mountain. Ashtanga Yoga with Kate D

Currently not running classes

Hello Yogis! Thanks for visiting Yoga Mountain. If you are interested in joining a local Ashtanga group, please do come along to the classes, currently held weekly at Letchworth's Evergreen Wellness Centre, every Tuesday at 7:30pm - 9pm.
If you would like a free taster session let me know, otherwise just drop me a message to reserve a spot.

Yoga's physical practice (asana) is a practice for all, not just bendy people; where our bodies find their own personal point of resistance is wherever we should be in our practice today in order to benefit and find progress and strength.

By putting the right stresses and strains on the bones, joints, limbs and muscles we strenghten our body and core. Aswell as strength, balance is the focus of asanas; flexibility is purely a by-product, so don't worry about whether you can touch your toes or not, it's very far from the main purpose.

Yoga is also the perfect compliment to any sport or training programs too eg running and cycling can hugely benefit; stretching out otherwise shortened muscles, hamstrings & quads alike; you'll find your body & training improve with yoga incorporated into your regime.

I teach Ashtanga from a modified Series 1 with Iyengar alignment, so while the class is mostly made up of asanas, I also include an element of Pranayama (breath control), which helps with many things, including anxiety, insomnia & generally calming the mind. More specifically, if you are an athlete, it can also help with your training, improving core strength & noticeably balancing & focussing your mind and body for a race or training schedule for example.

There are meditational moments of quiet in the classes too, that silence the ever-chattering monkey mind.

Please note if you are pregnant I am not qualified to teach you (as yet).

If you have any questions or want to reserve a spot, get in touch! Looking forward to meeting you!

Namaste
