Type of Yoga
Gráinne teaches Hatha Yoga (the traditional form of physical yoga practised in the west) including asana (the postural work) which helps participants gain strength and flexibility combined with Yogic breathing and relaxation to help calm and focus the mind.
Gráinne’s yoga classes are suitable for all levels of ability and experience as modifications are offered allowing all participants to work an appropriate and comfortable level.
Gráinne’s classes include a flowing (vinyasa) sequence (based on the Sun Salutation sequences) as well as static postures taking the body safely through all its planes of movement to balance mind and body.

Philosophy of Yoga
Yoga is many centuries old and Gráinne believes yoga is a fantastic way to tone, strengthen and improve the flexibility of the body in a safe, non-competitive and controlled manner under the guidance of a qualified teacher. In addition to its physical benefits, the physical, breathing and relaxation techniques practised in yoga class provide an invaluable set of tools and techniques to enable the individual to counter stress, anxiety, deal with bereavement and loss and many other issues.
