Helen has practised yoga for 25 years and is a Yoga Alliance senior teacher. In 2021, she experienced a chronic illness which left her unable to perform self-care tasks and made movement painful. This experience and long recovery impassioned Helen to make yoga more accessible to people adjusting to illness, ageing, or who are apprehensive about the physical focus of a regular yoga class. Helen utilises a variety of approaches, to experience yoga as a holistic discipline rather than just solely exercise for the body. In yogic philosophy and practice, prana (breath) is the thread that connects us to our bodies, our minds, each other, and our environment. Over this short course, we will develop an understanding of prana (breath) through a variety of practical yoga exercises and techniques. We will then workshop these techniques into an individually tailored sequence so that each student can continue their practice at home.
