Living in the flow of life

Message

Hi I'm Jo founder of Getonyourmat - Live Vibrantly! I've been practising Yoga for 26 years and teaching for 10 years. My journey with yoga started out using it to relieve stress but I soon learnt a regular practice actually helped prevent stress and to deal with all fo life's challenge's in a much healthier way for mind, body and in turn soul. During the classes we will explore real yoga, pranayama (breathwork) and how it can help ease the mind. Weaving in some yogic philosophy so we understand and honour the roots of where the practice comes from, use the physical practice of asana to build body awareness, strength & stamina with warm up exercises, Sun Salutations and postures, then finish the class with relaxation techniques such as yoga nidra or a guided visualisation. Come join our friendly & inclusive yoga community, we look forward to welcoming you to class and if you have any questions about class or Yoga in general please don't hesitate to get in touch.
