"I have been attending Nev's yoga weekly classes for some years now, and I have found him to be one of the best yoga teachers I've ever had. He teaches from the inside out, enabling me to re educate my body in how to get the most from each asana. He is very professional in his approach, but his classes are fun, which helps me practice in a light hearted way, returning home with a smile on my face and feeling centred and whole. I am so happy to have found Nev as a teacher."

Yoga

Yoga

Yoga is an ancient yet living and evolving collection of practices linked to physical, mental and spiritual development. Its theory base includes ideas and principles relating to health, fitness, psychology and spirituality. Yoga recognises that health and being at ease with oneself is a multilayered process. My teaching explores the main contemporary practices in yoga of asana (postures), pranayama (breathing practices), body centring and meditation as a creative means to bring ourselves to a place of calm, quiet and inner exploration. It is not complicated in one sense , but there is much to explore ! Appreciation of all that it has to offer takes time and practice.

Yoga History, Philosophy, Spirituality and Meditation.

Yoga is not a religion, but its origins as a collection of practices to explore the human condition developed in the context of Indian religious culture. There are at times significant parallels and connections with both Hinduism and Buddhism, but it doesn't exactly belong to either.
