Ratnadevi
Ratnadevi has been teaching yoga and meditation for over 20 years. Rooted in the Iyengar system of Yoga, she incorporates elements from other Yoga traditions, as well as Pilates, Feldenkrais and massage. A typical class will start with some warm-ups, build towards more intense work, followed by a deep relaxation and finish with a short period of meditation. Gentle yet precise stretches, in tune with the breath, open and strengthen the body. Yoga can have a balancing effect; it energises you when you feel depleted, and it has a calming and centering effect when you feel speedy or anxious. Ratnadevi is a kind and encouraging teacher, helping students to an approach that leads to best results, i.e. not being too goal-oriented and pushy, whilst still having a sense of progress.
