What we’re about
This group has been created for anyone interested in well-being.
I'd like to share the wonderful tool of YOGA with all of you interested in improving the quality of your life and enjoying your body. We can get healthier, stronger, happier and find balance through this ancient practice. And we can inspire each other :)
We are gathering together for weekly yoga classes in this wonderful, spacious studio at Roding River in Barking.
Classes are suitable for all ages and all fitness levels.
Beginners are very welcome :)
Yoga equipment can be provided, unless you prefer bringing your own mat :)
Parking is available (please let me know if you need a code).
We are practising Vinyasa Yoga which is a further developed form of Hatha Yoga based on a sequences of breath-synchronized movements used to transition between sustained postures. This form of yoga offers a range of health benefits to those who practice it, as it encompasses all areas of mind, body and spirit. The flowing, dynamic and continual movement, from one pose to another gives you a cardiovascular benefit. The routine practice of vinyasa yoga can increase muscle strength, endurance, flexibility and reduce levels of stress.
Yoga courses for beginners also available on a regular basis. Please check here for the latest yoga courses and workshops in Barking.
We are also gathering together regularly for Gong Bath sessions. Using powerful sounds of the gongs and other instruments that are helping us to find a place of happiness and balance within by harmonising the vibrations of the body, connecting with our True Self and reaching a state of relaxation where the natural healing process begins. My aim is to share this experience with others, to create a space for peace, clarity and connecting with our own potential.
Our Barking Yoga & Gong Community is growing!!!
Please check our calendar for the latest events and I can't wait to see you in one of the sessions :)
PEACE & HARMONY
