What is Yoga?

The ancient (yet timeless) practice of yoga is essentially about body awareness and about bringing your focus into the here and now. When guided by the conscious breath, each pose becomes a point of integration where body, mind and soul merge. On a physical level, yoga opens up new spaces in your muscles and joints so that the breath can flow deeper and nourish the cells more effectively. Yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you to relax and find ease in moments of anxiety and stress. Similarly, yoga helps to move stuck energies on emotional and mental levels. Yoga creates strength, flexibility and balance not only in the limbs, but also of the mind.

Teaching Style

Kim’s feminine, warm and professional style of teaching yoga combines elements of hatha yoga, vinyasa flow and restorative yoga. As a teacher she creates a safe space, where you can connect to your body in a sensual, compassionate and playful way. Kim places much emphasis on correct alignment of postures, ensuring that your practise is also physically safe. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced yogi/ni, the sessions will provide you a colourful mix of fun, challenge, relaxation and self-discovery, and perhaps even some brand new perspectives – after all, there is a reason why yogis spend so much time upside down!

Background

Yoga taught me how to use my body as an anchor for my mind and spirit and how to connect to my body in a more conscious and loving way.

In 2016, I completed a 200+ hour certified teacher training at the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal, under the skilful guidance of Heather Elton, Annie Seymour, Emil E. Wendel and Andrew McGonigle, as well as Buddhist Rinpoches.
For me yoga is a continuous path of exploration and sensual reconnection with my body.
