Vinyasa Yoga

Fay teaches Vinyasa Yoga.

“Hi I am Fay. I teach a vinyasa yoga class to guide you into a deeper meditative presence within your body, heart, breath and spirit. Interwoven within the tantric teachings, I use physical practice as a gateway to experience states of bliss, relaxation and rejuvenation. I aim to make sure you leave the class feeling the beauty of who you are, how well made you are; and the general remarkable experience that it is to be human. I hold the space with a variety of practices asana (physical) prana (breath work) mantra (speech and song) and bandhas (vital energy locks).

I also play live instruments in the session (guitar, gong, drum and shruti box). I intended always to explore and embrace, the subtler aspects of the human experience and I aim to create a safe space to help you be present, grounded and centred; so that you can go back into the world having access to these places more easily, moment to moment.

Whilst there is the invitation to challenge yourself with a dynamic physical practice that may make you sweat; there is also the option to rest and take a variations that will honour where you are. Really the practice is about this, to be where you are with love, acceptance and compassion.

I teach in an intuitive creative way to bring precision and poise through physical alignment to open us to the grace of our own unique flowing expression. We use the the yoga mat to come into relationship with the unseen difficult places, alchemise/ transform and release us to experience our own unique thread of gold, resting in our eternal eye, reflected into in all places; the blurring of the boundary of shadow and light. This in-turn invites every aspect of ourselves into the practice, living a full life, a full breath, and a full brimming heart. This isn't always easy but it is beautiful way to engage with life, and often the path of healing and re-aligning with our true nature isn't always comfortable but there is always gold inside us all, which becomes more visible as the lightness of practice come in, then we begin to rest into each moment with presence, beauty and grace.

We are our thoughts, our actions, our vibrations, until we realise we are not, and we have the potential to be whatever we choose. This practice aims to create space to feel, to rest into, to purify and awaken to the vibrational part of us. So that from this place we can re-create the life we never imagined possible, then we connect with that deeper vibrational expression of our spirit through the yoga practice. This gold is yours, your gold to take away with you and bring where you choose. Magical.

All levels and all abilities are welcome”

Fay often explores an anatomical aspect of the body with a focus on the breath; the breath playing an integral part to movement. This exploration leads into simple asanas in a flowing sequence; combined with shifts of orientation to help us become more embodied and present within our yoga practice.

Expect to work hard physically with an energetic practice and be immersed in a world of singing, musical instruments and a gong bath to close the session.

This is an open level class. You will acquire skills and methods through practice that help you shift orientation, feeling and perspective that you can incorporate into your life off the mat. Fay embraces the old tradition and lineage of yoga. She does her best to honour the yoga text while creatively modernising where appropriate to make it revelivant for the current day.
