Benjamin Ansell

My lessons are designed to help you in any way you wish to improve, whether your concern is fitness, spiritual development, flexibility or health I will be able to tailor the lesson to meet your requirements. We can discuss in length the goals you have within your practice and how you would like to pursue them.

The main aim is for you to enjoy your time on the mat and take the skills you learn within our lessons into wider areas of life, here is a little more detail on the kind of lessons I can offer and what you can expect to learn and the benefits you can gain from each one -

Asana (Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Yin) -
Asana is the physical posture we have come to know as yoga. Yoga is a much wider definition of all the practices that lead towards samadhi. There are various schools or styles of asana and depending on your individual needs there will be one that suits you best. The end of each asana class will end in Shavasana (corpse pose) with a short meditation.

Meditation -
If you would like to expand your knowledge of meditation, instead of a shorter session towards the end of the class, we can spend more time focusing on the practice and choose a specific asana to help strengthen your Padmasana (lotus pose). Depending on your specific requirements there are many different paths and practices to choose from. All mediations will be led with specific intentions.

Pranayama -
Pranayama is the 4th limb of Patanjali's Ashtanga yoga and it is the practice of controlling your breath. There are a wide variety of practices within pranayama that can have a profound impact on your day-to-day living. Similarly to the options above these lessons can be tailored to your specific needs and as your skill set, changes can be made to continue your progression.

My lessons are appropriate for someone of any ability whether it is your first or 100th, this means they can range in length of time from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your specific requirements. If you have any questions feel free to get in contact with me. I am more than happy to discuss any concerns or goals that you have. I aim to create a happy, safe and judgement-free space free from discrimination.

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you very much for spending the time reading through all this information. Have a wonderful day.
