Where it all began.
The Yoga Garden began in July 2017 after I was searching for locations to teach yoga and realised the tranuqility and beauty of my own gardens was the perfect setting for meditation.
THE STUDIO
Classes are held in my newly built zen yoga studio gazing out onto the countryside. We offer not just a studio for yoga practice, but a communal meeting space and outdoor meditation area with quiet walking paths. The studio is also available for hire.
The Yoga Garden is an easily accessible space with plenty of parking in the peace and quiet of the countryside.
TEACHING
I am a fully qualified Yoga Teacher, completing a 200 hr training course at Santosha Yoga Studio under the auspices of the Yoga Alliance. I continue to develop my knowledge and practice by regularly attending workshops and training, having recently completed a course on yoga for children.
In fact, when I began this journey I had no intention of teaching yoga - I only wanted to develop my knowledge of a practice that I was finding so fascinating and fulfilling. However, the more I learned, the more I became immersed in the practice to the extent that I want to share my experience and the feeling of health, well being and peace that yoga has given me. [ I know this sounds very evangelistic, but I was asked at a dinner party if I had found God ]
So to summarise, the ethos of The Yoga Garden is to allow you to experience a sense of health, well being and santosha (contentment) through the physical practice of the asanas and the mental and spiritual fulfilment found through mindfulness and relaxation.
I look forward to meeting you, Andra.
