The practice of Yoga

We all desire our teacher to know about our conditions, to consider us important, and to treat us uniquely – exactly as our health is.

It is incredibly challenging and even sometimes lonely, to be in pursuit of how to live healthily, and to even understand what being healthy feels like to you.

Inspired by the teachings of Krishnamacharya and the tradition of yoga as a scientific practice for health, Elizabeth guides her students in a personalised, individually supported practice of yoga, helping you value commitment to your health and taking care of yourself.

Through learning and gaining respect for the incredible capacity and ability of your human body, you can return to the roots of what a yoga practice means - attaining sustainable health.

Ashtanga Yoga is a practice that comprises eight limbs, or parts.

These eight practices consist of how we view and act in our relationships with others and towards the world (Yamas), and in the relationship that we have towards ourselves (Niyamas). The physical Asanas or postures, together with Pranayama or breathing practices, is how we begin to practice and learn ashtanga yoga.

With consistent practice, comes inner changes and purification to the body and the mind. These un-coverings, can then lead us towards seeking inner freedom and peace, and towards living out our highest potential.

Ashtanga yoga is traditionally taught by learning a sequence of asanas, comprised along six series. Students move through these asanas with guidance from their teacher and learn this practice by memory and heart. In this manner the practice of ashtanga yoga encompasses the whole body and strengthens the mind - body - soul connection.

Your practice of yoga mirrors your life’s challenges, to enable you to learn how to hold steady, how to keep going and how to live within the true essence of yourself.

It is a practice for life, one that can not be rushed, yet one that brings almost immediate inner relief, relaxation and peace.

A practice of yoga is becoming evidently proven as a way to live healthily.
I believe, through a new synthesised approach of yoga with medical science, we can reach a new standard of health and living.

Undoubtedly the world of science and yoga can feel like a niche group of (already) healthy people. As a yoga teacher and trained medical scientist, specifically on immunity, Elizabeth’s role is in translating the language of science - how your body works, with yoga - a movement practice for your body, to enable you to (re)learn how to listen, communicate and respond to what your body is telling you.

Put simply, health and being ‘healthy’, can mean a return to the state of living, of ‘being’ at peace - and that’s my aim in supporting you.

In practicing yoga, you are curating and cultivating within yourself a sustainable, responsible practise of health and care.

We are seeing a worldwide response to people taking responsibility for their own health, which is wonderful. Now is the time where our actions and intrinsic changes can challenge the views of healthcare for everyone. You can help positively impact upon the work that HealthCare professionals do, by learning how to live well within yourself, and I’d love to help you do that.

Through learning how to feel in charge and responsible for your health, you begin living within your innate capacity for health and greatness.
