Teachers Yoga Pilates Pregnancy Yoga Meditation Feldenkrais Chi Gung Tai Chi

anna_chapman Yoga is a great way for bringing mother and child together - my first yogic experience was trying to stand on one leg while my mum did tree pose. I’ve been practicing yoga asana (postures) regularly for 15 years. I trained to be a hatha yoga teacher at Triyoga and hold a British Wheel of Yoga diploma. Since becoming pregnant with my second child I trained in the Sitaram pregnancy tradition which uses breath, visualisation and yoga asana to help women remain calm, centred and healthy during pregnancy, birth and the post-natal period. I also trained to teach post-natal yoga with Birthlight, giving me a complete overview of natal yoga and an understanding of the transformation which occurs in a woman's body and mind during the birthing process.

Anna teaches pregnancy yoga at the Haelan Studio Fridays 1.15-2.45pm. Please contact Anna directly on 07887 636 858 or annavchapman@gmail.com if you’d like to attend this class.

Beverley Drumm / Devbir Kaur

I was drawn to Kundalini Yoga in 2008 when I was at a real low-point in my life. In that first class, I found myself shedding tears of release as my heart and spirit were touched. I knew immediately this was the path for me, and a practice I wanted to teach. I embarked upon my teacher training with the SKY School of Kundalini Yoga in 2009. It was to be the most uplifting, transformative and also challenging year of my life. Now qualified, I am excited to be sharing these profound teachings, which, as I know from experience, enable us to live more happily, healthily and effectively in the modern world.

Alongside Kundalini Yoga I also teach The Nia Technique, a holistic dance-movement form, I am available for private yoga and Nia classes either in my space or the comfort of your own home.

Beverley teaches Fridays at the Haelan Centre, 9.30-11am, starting November 5th, with 2 weeks’ break on December 24th & 31st.

Mel Softley

“Yoga came into my life during a difficult period following the birth of my second child. This initial experience of yoga was felt as a terrific relief both to my mind and my body, and gave me a profound sense of coming home to myself. During ten years as a student and teacher, I've personally experienced - and been privileged to witness - the powerful, yet subtle changes that yoga can bring to its practitioners of all ages and abilities. For me teaching yoga is a dynamic, ever evolving, process. I am constantly learning from my students, my peers and from many diverse and gifted practitioners . These teachings I pass on with passion, respect and joy”
