Profile
I am a fully qualified yoga instructor, teaching weekly dynamic yoga, pregnancy yoga, birth preparation, mum & baby yoga & baby massage classes. My style of teaching is encouraging and nurturing. I believe that one style of yoga does not fit all and ensure that my classes are adaptable and accessible in order to suit the needs and ability of all students. My aim is to encourage students to connect with the body and mind through breath and movement, and to leave the class feeling calm, refreshed and energised. I have been teaching since 2003 and continue to attend workshops and training courses to enhance my personal practice and teaching qualifications.

The nurturing, tactile nature of the practices also enhances the bond between mother and baby and helps to encourage relaxed interaction.

Dynamic Yoga
Mixed Ability Yoga
Teacher
Claire Tredgett
(Yumi Yoga)
Description / Notes: Yumi Yoga’s Dynamic Flow Yoga classes are designed to capture the essence of yoga. Based on the principles of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, we practise a continuous, flowing sequence of postures co-ordinating each movement with the breath. We structure the classes as 6-week rolling terms, with a different theme every term. Week by week we adapt and add postures so there is a familiarity to the flow, but no two classes are the same. The nature of the continuous flow ensures each student benefits from a dynamic practice. We offer adjustments and modifications throughout the class to ensure all students enjoy the practice at their own pace. Benefits of Dynamic Flow Yoga include: • improving strength and stamina throughout the body • improving mobility: joints, ligaments & tendons are supported and muscles are toned and strengthened. • cleansing and regulating the body’s systems (including skeletal, muscular, circulatory, nervous & digestive) • increasing flexibility and improving postural alignment • focusing the mind and encouraging stillness • reduces stress and increases the ability to relax • encourages balance and harmony between body, breath and mind Map
