About Sianne Yoga
I have been practising yoga for 15 years and have found that it has profoundly enhanced my general well being. It is for this reason that I decided to train so that I could offer the experience of yoga to more people, so they can have the opportunity to discover what a wonderful practice yoga is.
Background
My background is in Hatha Yoga which is one of the most well-known styles of yoga. Hatha yoga is classical yoga and is primarily concerned with the physical emphasis on yoga poses (Asanas), and energetic breathing for the benefit of physical health and spiritual growth. With a steady practice of Hatha yoga, one is able to maintain balance and harmony between the body, mind and energy.
More About Yoga
Yoga is not only a physical practice which strengthens and tones your body increasing your flexibility, this ancient practice is a science of life and an art of living that originates from ancient India over tens of thousands of years ago.
Yoga is not just performing a set of postures, Practicing Yoga is a means whereby you are bringing your physical self, mental self and emotional self to as perfect a state as possible. Because of this, Yoga is a different experience for each and every student.
Through breathing and being aware in the postures (which all have a number of benefits) you will feel your body respond to this wonderful practice!
Whether you are coming to a class to relieve stress, to tone up your body or to stretch your muscles or recover from a sports injury- you will not be disappointed by the benefits of this amazing ancient practice.
Yoga therapy with Sianne
Yoga therapy is the adaptation of yoga for people with health problems. Although ordinary yoga classes can improve general health and well being, yoga therapy can help people by tailoring yoga to their individual needs, taking into account their health problems and circumstances. Critical research trials show that yoga therapy practices are among the most effective known methods for managing psychosomatic, stress-related conditions, which are so common today. This is because they bridge the gap between body and mind, ranging across the whole spectrum from physical to mental.
Specific Conditions which I am able to treat include asthma, hypertension, back and neck pain, arthritis, stress, anxiety, depression, obesity, hyperacidity, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, migraine and headaches, menstrual disorders (including infertility, PMS and severe period pain), and the yogic management of menopause.
Your session with me starts with a one-to-one consultation to ascertain the presenting condition, associated health problems and related lifestyle factors (£75 60-75 minutes). This is followed by a series of one-to-one (£60 1hr) or specialised group classes (upto 5 per class £20 p.p for the hour) teaching yoga regimens for different conditions. It starts with very simple exercises, so that clients can begin to practise and benefit right away, even if they have no prior experience of yoga. Yoga therapy is very safe and in addition to helping manage the presenting condition, it often yields other health benefits.
