Anahata Yoga

I'm Caroline Whitmore, founder of Anahata Yoga, thank you for visiting my website.Whether you're looking for a live class or want to practice on demand, you'll find something for everyone. [on demand class recordings coming soon!]

Need to move, stretch and strengthen? I have hatha (general) yoga classes for a range of levels and abilities.Want to relax and renew whilst stretching and reflecting deeply? Try a delicious Yin Yoga class.

Or if you fancy trying something completely different ... try Aerial yoga, for fun, fitness and flexibility.Yoga can help with a huge range of requirements - naturally, as it is of course is about flexibility!

But it's also about strength, groundedness and finding out who you really are.  The journey yoga takes you on is so much more than you first expect!  So here are some starting points, whether you're looking for physical solutions, or a more spiritual approach to your exercise and self-care regime:

• Yoga is great for destressing, and is calming and relaxing. These days life and work can be crazy: learn how to be more Zen!

• You can benefit from yoga during times of hormonal turmoil, be that perimenopause, menopause, post menopause or when you're looking to boost your fertility; it's a great adjunct to IVF, for example.

• Sports teams or individuals can use yoga to keep supple and flexible, helping to reduce the risk of injury.  Aerial yoga in particular is a brilliant way to do this, as well as being a lot of fun!

• If you sit at a desk for hours on end, it will start to have physiological and most probably psychological effects on your wellbeing.  Find out how to counteract bad posture and desk stress.

• As we begin to move on from the Covid pandemic, it's more important than ever to look after your respiratory health and overall resilience.  Yoga combines breath techniques with physical work, and also teaches us to use the breath to shift our energy and mood, as well as keeping your respiratory system in optimal condition.

• Modern medicine and a more privileged lifestyle enable us to live longer these days.  It makes sense to keep your body in good order, to ensure that you are able to live a long, strong and healthy life.  Self-care through yoga can ensure you reap the benefits of its practice well into your wisdom years.
