Welcome to Sam Turner Yoga
I started teaching beginners classes in Northampton, Northamptonshire designed to be accessible, yet challenging. These classes find a balance between strength, stretch and breath as my goal is to help students strengthen the body, experience breathing techniques and a mind-body-breath connection. Classes are structured to start with simple warm-ups, moving through poses as we identify and experience movements that prepare everyone for the peak pose of the class. We then begin a warm down as we prepare for relaxation. I have a personal interest in anatomy and injury which is growing with research and training and is weaved into my classes.
As my beginners have evolved, I have changed my Monday classes to a mixed ability class. This has opened a space to introduce a new beginners class that will be joining my schedule on Thursday evenings from 2020.
I want my classes to offer the same benefits that kept me going to yoga in my second year of university. It helped me escape from the intensity of my studies once a week and counteract time spent at a desk. After attending regular classes, I decided to deepen my knowledge and practice by starting my 200-hour teacher training in September 2018, at Whitespace Yoga Studio in Stony Stratford. I completed my training and became a qualified yoga teacher in November 2019.
