Scaravelli Inspired Yoga
with
Catherine Annis

over 30 years yoga experience

We live with tension every day.  It comes up in almost everything we do, in all circumstances and relationships.  What do we do with that tension?  How do we react under its influence?  This is the true test of our yoga, and the answers are hugely relevant in our everyday lives.  If we can exist with tension, be with ourselves in difficult, strenuous positions in our yoga practice, perhaps we can learn to stay calm and cool in the midst of a stressful situation in the office or with our loved ones.                

Throughout this session, we will learn how tension, and our resistance to it, affects us.  Through this knowledge, we will gradually learn to create the space so that we can choose when and how to react, and to be aware of how this affects our relationships with ourselves and others.

Catherine Annis provides convenient Yoga classes in the workplace for busy professionals who understand that looking after their wellbeing is essential to maintaining high performance in business. 

Catherine offer private yoga lessons for any level of yoga.  Catherine can tailor each yoga session to your exact requirements. Traditionally, yoga was shared between one teacher and one student.

Private yoga classes take into consideration your personal heath & fitness level, injuries and personal intentions. Catherine can help you make physical adjustments and assist you with stretching more than they would ever be able to in a group class.

Catherine can teach you how subtle adjustments in your alignment can help you create a strong foundation, ultimately leading you to a better understanding of yoga. You will, as a result, develop a stronger and definitely safer yoga practice. Every individual is unique and we all have different levels of awareness.

Reasons to take private yoga lessons:

New to yoga
New students often feel overwhelmed when they go to a group class and can benefit immensely from receiving an instructor's complete attention. Receiving hands on adjustments ensure that you develop a safe yoga practice. You will develop a true understanding of the yoga poses and breathing techniques rather than getting lost when the speed or intensity of a group class is too much for you.

Reduce your risk of injury
In a private yoga class, Catherine guides you safely through your yoga session. We have all no doubt seen people become competitive or overly ambitious in classes and attempt to do the full version of a pose before they actually ready. This greatly increases your risk of injury. In a private yoga class, Catherine will always be fully aware of what is appropriate for you and adjusts the poses accordingly.

Busy schedules
Private yoga classes conveniently fit your schedule. Many people are just too busy to get in the car or on public transport and then practice yoga for an hour (or more) at the studio, then travel back home again ... that leaves you anything but relaxed. Catherine can come to your home at a time that is convenient for you and design a class specifically for you.

Your needs come first
Private yoga classes are customised to fit your specific needs, focusing on therapeutic benefits for injuries, restorative benefits for stress or emotional situations. Helping you work on specific goals.
