This class is held on the first Friday of every month. It is designed for people who aren't able to commit every week but still have a desire to practice. I offer 2.5 hours to give students more time to wind-down, explore and connect with themselves. My approach is to invite people to deepen self- awareness, notice tension and habitual patterns, to soften and find a greater feeling of spaciousness within. We will work through asanas with awareness of the breathing process and end with restorative postures and a deep relaxation. Advanced booking essential as places limited.

Hi, I am certified with the British Wheel of Yoga and hold a certificate with Mandala Yoga Ashram in Wales. I have a background in health care, previously working as a registered Occupational Therapist for over 10 years. I have recently been on maternity leave and am easing back into teaching, exploring and rediscovering parts of myself that have been forgotten after such a life changing experience! My main interest in teaching is helping people to develop an increased awareness of themselves and to loose tension. To notice when we start to interfere with 'natural' movements and how the breath can be compromised through increased effort, stress, anxiety and habitual patterns. My focus is not on making perfect shapes, rather I am interested in people learning to soften, expand and connect with themselves more deeply.
One of my students comments:
“Hilary has a very sensitive, light hearted and nurturing way of teaching. She works together with students to help them really understand their own body through developing meditative awareness of movement and breath. She adds a very holistic and personal touch, believing that yoga can be accessible to everyone, regardless of age or ability”
