Bihar/Satyananda yoga classes are accessible for everyone regardless of age, gender, physical ability or experience. They emphasise the spiritual and meditative side of yoga. Classes include postures, breathing, meditation, deep relaxation and chanting. Although the structure of the class is similar each week, the content takes you through a journey of progression and self-awareness.

For Nickie the focus is on ensuring that the class practices can be transferred to daily life ensuring students maximise their physical good health, mental wellbeing and sense of purpose not just when they leave class but throughout the whole week.

Nickie Short has practised yoga for 30 years and been teaching for  20.  She has over 30 years of experience of working with people with a wide range of physical, mental and learning disabilities in addition to a wide range of ongoing health problems.  Nickie is passionate about bringing the benefits of yoga and a sense of purpose in life to all those who are suffering in anyway.  She offers classes, one2one sessions and retreats.

This style of yoga includes a wide range of practices, beginning with gentle warm-up towards a stronger set of postures or sequence where modification or alternatives can be used for varying abilities. This is followed with relaxation, pranayama (deep controlled breathing for harmonising energy levels) and meditation.  Benefits can include mindfulness, improved strength and flexibility, relaxation and well-being.

A friendly class with the aim of finding harmony and wellbeing by balancing relaxation with postures, and breath with a range of movements. The effort of performing yoga postures is controlled by including an equal measure of comfort. Deep breathing helps to calm the mind. My own yoga journey began over 20yrs ago, and the benefits of positive mood and increased energy keep me practising. The British Wheel of Yoga with whom I am trained are the largest governing body for yoga in the U.K. In over 10 years of teaching, experience shows me that every student is an individual, and my classes are carefully crafted to create both enjoyment and challenge that is appropriate to all levels of ability, with use of alternatives and modifications. Often people who have enjoyed yoga in the past come back for more, beginners have grown to love yoga in these classes, and if you are experienced you will find this practice a valuable step on your on-going journey. Come and join us and see what this friendly class can do for you!

This class is run by mark Holden.

Shennon’s 90 minutes practice is what one would describe as challenging but rewarding. Designed as an immersion of Ashtanga-style practice and MUST be incorporated with Fun, Laughter and Endurance, this class is suitable for everyone with an open mind and a smiley face. Having the garden as a backdrop, nothing compares to the combination of nature, yoga and (simply!) breathing. We invite you to take a break from the buzz of everyday life and instead have fun on a Saturday morning in this nourishing practice. See you on the mat!

Encompassing the ability to connect with people, teaching was a natural route after completing Ashtanga teacher’s training in 2010. Since then, continuous professional development is a big part of Shennon’s reflection and evaluation of her own practice and that reflects in the enthusiasm she exudes in class.

Shennon’s Yoga course is quite involved and not suitable for beginners.
