Overview

Gentle Yoga is a softer style of Hatha yoga practice, where poses are held for between 3 – 5 breaths. Performed at a slower mindful pace, with less intense positions, there is extended time for meditation, breathwork and relaxation. Classes will include a range of yoga poses – standing, seated (on the floor), supine, balancing – and some inverted postures.

These classes are suitable for those with some yoga experience and who wish to develop their yoga practice.

Please bring your own mat, plus any yoga props (blocks, bricks, straps, blankets) and some water. Wear comfortable breathable layers and non-slips socks or bare feet.

About the Speaker

Christine Noel

https://christinenoelyoga.com/

Christine's yoga journey started over 15 years ago when she regularly started to attend all all types of yoga classes. Yoga really helped me to control my ongoing lower back pain and enabled me to manage my stress and anxiety.  Yoga, breath work, mindfulness and meditation has made a significant difference to my overall physical, mental and emotional wellbeing and has become an important part of her daily life.  

Christine completed a 200 hour Anusara® Immersion and Teaching Training  in 2018-2019.   In 2022, she finished my 300 hour Advanced Teacher Training. Christine is also a qualified Yin yoga teacher and also teaches meditation.  She is also Certified Prenatal/Pregnancy Yoga Teacher and Certified Postnatal/Postpartum Yoga Teacher with Poppy Perinatal Yoga.  Christine has also gained qualifications to teach yoga for the pelvic floor. Most recently, She have become a Forrest Yoga Inspired Teacher.

Christine teaches in the greater Guildford area, in and around Cheltenham and elsewhere by arrangement as well as online, indoors and outdoors.. She specialises in  Vinyasa (flow) Yoga, Hatha (Static) Yoga, Anusara® Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Chair Yoga, Perinatal Yoga, Forrest-Inspired Yoga and Yin.  She is also a qualified to teach Pranayama (breath exercises), Meditation, Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques.

Christine is passionate about anything related to yoga and sharing the joyous benefits of yoga with others in a safe, friendly and relaxing environment.  Her dharma (passion) is to hold space and empower individuals to practice embodied yoga, meditation, mindfulness and pranayama (breath work) with compassion, awareness and joy. Christine's vision is to make yoga accessible, inclusive and workable for all bodies by offering versatile alignment options; delivering uplifting meaningful creative classes with heart and soul in a nourishing calm space that will impart a sense of overall wellbeing, community, serenity, and inspiration.  

Everyone is welcome at Christine's yoga classes.  She always weaves a meaningful relevant theme into each of my classes and include breathwork, meditation, the full range of yoga poses, relaxation and selective readings, quotations or poems. She hopes that you walk off your yoga mat feeling recharged, rejuvenated and happier!
