Yoga

My teaching is informed by the work of Italian Yoga teacher Vanda Scaravelli. Vanda studied with BKS Iyengar and the philosopher J.Krishnamurti before developing her own approach which emphasises the role of gravity, breath and the spine in allowing the body to open and rejuvenate.

"As the sun opens the flowers delicately, unfolding them little by little, so the yoga exercises and breathing open the body during a slow and careful training" - Vanda Scaravelli

This approach respects the natural wisdom of the body and involves cultivating a listening, receptive approach to the bodies changes and needs. It is student centred and appropriate for both beginners and intermediate students.

Regular practice will increase flexibility, strength and balance, as well as assist you in entering states of deep relaxation and awareness. Many people experience a greater serenity about life in general, improved circulation, a firmer, trimmer figure and less illness as a result.

"….the mind and the body are so intimately connected that ultimately we cannot tell the difference between them.....When we align the body we also align the mind." - Joseph Kramer

Rosie Dores teaches Yoga on Wednesdays from 1:30pm - 3:00pm.
