Our lifestyles often mean that our body doesn’t move enough and we remain in the same position for far too long. This leads to stiffness, poor muscle tone, pain and discomfort. We forget to hydrate ourselves as we should and can’t understand why we suffer!
In the morning session, through twists, back arches, forward bends and lateral extensions we can lubricate and massage the connective tissues which holds us together.
The evening class will focus on calming the mind and preparing the body for restful sleep.

The Benefits of Yoga
Sequenced posture work, breathing and relaxation techniques together can help relieve stress and anxiety, increase muscle tone, reduce injury, improve flexibility, mobilility and help people to feel calmer and to sleep better. The good news is that benefits can be felt even after just one class.
Event Schedule
1. The class will focus on a 10 minute warm up for the neck, chest and lungs through the shoulders and down to the hips. We will work into the wrists and arms too.
2. The next section will last around 20 minutes to work into inner and outer thighs, hamstrings and quads as we move into a standing practice, integrating postures to build support around the joints whilst increasing muscle tone and improving flexibility. The final 20 minutes or so will be spent practising seated and floor sequences, bringing us to around 5 minutes in final relaxation.
3. Once people have completed the class they will have a chance to spend Q&A time with Fenella discussing aspects of the class they found helpful or challenging and hearing from Fenella about her yoga journey which started when she was 25 in India.

It is story-style yoga for young children and featured 3 times on BBC’s 2’s Dragon’s Den. The influences on Fenella’s yoga style have come from disciplines notably Iyengar, Ashtanga and Jivamukti yoga.
