Yoga With Christina

Yoga With Christina Yoga Classes suitable for all fitness levels. Monday 7pm to 8pm online. Thursday 7pm to 8pm Kilsyth Mehidist Church Hall I will also be honest with you too.

*Classes are for men & women & are suitable for all fitness levels - There is always a modification of Asanas (postures) available.
*Please be polite & mannerly when engaging with each other on here.
*In the About section i have put to be at class 5 to 10 mins early. This is a safety precaution as Yoga (as does all exercise) requires a warm up so cold muscles aren't being stretched. If you stretch a cold muscle, you risk injury to the muscles & joints, so the warm up section needs to be done to avoid this.
*Yoga is good for fitness level, weight loss, mobility, flexibility, stress relief, anxiety, fatigue, aches & pains, sleep patterns, detoxification of the body, regulation of hormones & adrenal glands, posture, strength, muscle tone, back pain, joint pain, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, depression and much much more. It helps the body on a cellular level as well as physical.
*Having been a fitness instructor of 24 years, Yoga took me on a journey away from the gym floor, to India for a month & my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. It came about after a diagnosis of Stress Related Chronic Fatigue. We learned about the anatomy & physiology of Yoga, nutrition, philosophy, pranayama, meditation, practical Yoga practice & Ayurveda. It has helped me tremendously to gradually regain my health. I have qualifications in sports nutrition, raw food nutrition, basic nutrition, health & fitness, BAWLA, Zumba Basic 1, Reiki levels 1, 2 & 3, Indian Head Massage, EFT & am currently studying nutritional therapy. So as well as Yoga, i can offer nutritional advice along with holistic tips to help your overall health. Health & proper nutrition are important & can make such a difference to your well being. So i am more than happy to assist with any questions you may have about your journey to better health. I guess you could say i have empathy too. I am an outdoor sports enthusiast having completed triathlons, treks & various runs, enjoying kayaking, hiking, biking & running. Until CFS enforced rest. So i understand human frustrations at lack of progress & how difficult it can be to start exercise again. But i also understand how nutrition & Yoga can help you heal. Watch this space too for workshops that give people the tools to help toward better health. I'm looking forward to meeting you all. Namaste πŸ•‰

So I thought I'd share these with you lovely Yogis πŸ’œβœ¨οΈ These were the two courses I completed. The breath work one I started ages ago and then life got in the way so I'd left it a while. So I used last to complete that one and also do the Mental Health one. I loved bothπŸ’œ Both are recognised by Yoga Alliance Professionals as continuing education so I'll need to remember and update my profile.
