Working closely on a one-to-one basis can help deepen your practice, and may be more appropriate if you are beginning yoga, don't like working in a class situation, or have specific needs - such as rehabilitation of an injury. If you have up to two friends who would like to join you, that's fine too, as long as you have adequate space.
During your individual session, you can choose to work whichever aspect of yoga you choose. Whether you're looking to learn the basics to give you confidence to join a class, or to develop strength and ease in more challenging positions, Catherine can tailor your session to help you really enjoy yoga and relax into it.

Catherine also teaches Yoga Nidra on a 1:1 basis - this can be very helpful if you are having problems sleeping or relaxing.
Yoga nidra means "yogic sleep". It is a state of conscious deep sleep. In meditation, you remain in the waking state of consciousness, and gently focus the mind, while allowing thought patterns, emotions, sensations, and images to arise and go on. However, in yoga nidra, you leave the waking state, go past the dreaming state, and go to deep sleep, yet remain awake and conscious. Yoga nidra brings you to a supreme state of relaxation, which can be very helpful at times of intense stress, or when you are having difficulties sleeping.
Benefits
During this deep state of relaxation, blood pressure is normalised, the immune system is strengthened and the brain relaxes and cooperates better. All the organs and senses of the body are rested in a way that sleep seldom provides. Thus the senses are sharpened and you wake feeling refreshed and invigorated. The more familiar you become with yoga nidra, the easier it is to glide into the relaxed state. And as you become more practiced at the techniques, you will be able to return to this state instantly - in the middle of the activities of your day, or at night, when you may wish to move deeper, into sleep itself.
What to expect
Yoga nidra is practiced on the floor, in a warm comfortable and safe environment, free from distractions. Each session takes approximately 1 hour, as Catherine talks you gently through a series of relaxation techniques that help bring you into the state of Yoga Nidra. At the end of the session, you will wake refreshed and revitalised, ready to face the rest of your day.

Yoga with Catherine Annis |
The yoga Catherine teaches has been inspired by the pioneering approach of Vanda Scaravelli. It's a gentle yet demanding form of Hatha yoga, which concentrates on developing core strength through releasing tension and creating length in the spine. It uses the breath and gravity to allow the spine to unfold like a wave, allowing the uninhibited opening and energising of the whole body.
