The Sunday morning class is a combination of 30 years of teaching yoga and Thomas Hanna’s Somatic release technique.
Our nervous system learns certain ways of using our muscles based on how we choose to sit, stand, and move each and every day. Our nervous system notices the postures and movements that we tend to repeat, and it gradually makes these postures and movements automatic so that we don’t have to consciously think about them.
Thomas Hanna developed exercises that use the pandicular response to reduce muscle tension
The morning’s workshop teaches you this technique.
This is not an excercise clsss but time for well being and realignment in a very relaxing and releasing process. They take you deep within yourself to become aware of the habitual tensions you hold in your body and undo them using the gravity and the breath. It is a very meditative, mindful slow style of somatic yoga that should leave you feeling as if you have had a massage.

I have been teaching yoga for over 30 years and my journey began studying Iyengar yoga with Terese Rumball, then training with Ruth White until I found the style created by Vanda Scaravelli from Italy who initially learnt with Iyengar. I have recently been studying with Sandra Sabatini, a student of Vanda's for many years and Mikal Havkin who works with Sandra.
I have taught at the charity Combat Stress for the veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and at The Priory for clients in recovery. Specialising in anxiety, stress, eating disorders and restorative yoga for those with physical problems.
I have since studied Thomas Hanna's Somatic technique which I now combine with my yoga for even more benefit to the body.
Working in this style has been great for my own practice and a joy to share with students.
