What I know about Yoga:
You can take your time with Yoga
You don't have to be flexible
You can build your confidence with Slow Yoga.
Maybe progress to attending a Face to Face Class
You don't have to achieve the perfect shape
You don't wait until you are ready to start Yoga!
My Yoga is for anyone looking for deep relaxation and care for joints
What makes it different:
Slow yoga is different from other types of yoga because it focuses on gentle, controlled movements, longer-held poses, and mindful breathing rather than fitness based or intense sequences
The breath is brought into awareness
How can you benefit:
Are you noticing stiffness in a morning?
Or noticing you are a little slower getting up out of a chair?
This approach to yoga allows for more attention to how the movements feel.
Moving Slow allows you to notice where there is tightness in your body, where there is discomfort, and which parts of your body need your attention.
Everyone in class is experiencing something unique to them.
The goal is for your nervous system to remember what calm-ness feels like.
You move in your daily life with more ease.
And before you realise - you have started to build some strength in muscles which add stability to your joints.
My classes are not for anyone seeking power or fitness Yoga.
Slow Yoga is not boring!!!

What does Julia's Slow Yoga actually feel like?
I understand from experience how the body changes as the years go by.
The wonderful thing about yoga is that it adapts to us.
My classes are slow, gentle and thoughtful—not power yoga or fitness-focused.
They encourage intuitive posture, greater ease of movement, how the movement FEELS, not how it looks.
And gives you time to pause and tune into that feeling.
We practice Meditation sometimes, always Relaxation and a deeper connection with your body.
There's no pressure to touch your toes or keep up with anyone else.
This is your practice, at your own pace.
The Online Classes are 90 minutes long to give us time.
