Welcome to Timmy B Yoga
I only discovered yoga in early 2018. After years of being told 'you should try yoga' and I always replied - 'no I don't think it is for me!' Then at the ripe old age of 57, I finally got on a mat and immediately felt at home. So much so that within 18 months I was teaching, and have never looked back. I am just a regular guy and if I can do it, after 40 years of business in IT and consulting, so can you!
Yoga changes your mind and body in amazing ways. When practised regularly, it reduces stress, improves flexibility, balance and builds strength in all core muscle groups. Regular yoga helps to fight off aches and pains, and keep you fit and healthy. It also calms the mind, enabling clearer thinking and better decision making.
Yoga is for everyone, no matter how inflexible you are or how old you are! You do not need to be a bendy Wendy to start practicing yoga
What to expect from my classes
All my Yoga classes are inspired by Forrest Yoga, developed by Ana Forrest in the 1970s as a variation of Hatha Yoga. Forrest Yoga is powerful and healing, with longer holds in some poses to allow the pose time to develop and the body to respond.
All my classes follow a similar format, starting with some centering and breathing, or pranayama. It is really important to connect to the body at the start of a class, allowing the mind to quieten, slow down the heart rate and begin to feel more grounded. Classes then move through a warm up and into more active poses, including abdominals. Most classes include an element of sun salutations to continue to build the heat into the body. All classes finish with a relaxation, normally guided or with a visualisation.
Why Forrest Yoga? In Forrest Yoga, there are seven main pillars, including a relaxed neck, active hands and active feet, and a tuck of tailbone - which makes a huge difference to the feel of poses, as well as activating the inner thigh line bringing poses to life - it is like turning on the fairy lights in your body.
Forrest Yoga helps therefore to counteract the damage caused by modern life - to reduce stress and release tension in the neck, shoulders and hips. A perfect antidote to modern working life, using mobile phones, driving or sitting for long periods at a desk!
Forrest Yoga includes hands on assists, which are always completely optional, but allow the student to deepen their practice in a safe and controlled way.
How do you get started?
All you need is a mat and the willingness to give it a go!
If you would like to have a chat about how Yoga could help you please do get in touch. I also offer private one to one sessions, particularly suitable for those who prefer a private environment, or want to deepen their practice, or possibly as a starting point to build the confidence and so you feel prepared to come to a class.
Private classes are conducted in my studio in Wexcombe.
