Welcome to Be Yoga
If you are not familiar with me or Be Yoga! my company was established in 1999, since then I have taken care to provide my clients with a simple, friendly and approachable practice of yoga. I am a qualified British Wheel of Yoga Instructor and and have been teaching yoga for over 9 years. My own personal experience of yoga stretches back over 15 years, when as a young enthusiast I began exploring different approaches to yoga. My business is located in the peaceful village of Lambourn nestled in the beautiful Lambourn Downs
What is Yoga?
The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘yuj ‘ meaning to ‘yoke’ or ‘bind’ and is often interpreted as ‘union’ of the body, mind, breath and spirit. Around 2000 years ago the Indian sage Patanjali is believed to have compiled the practice of yoga into a collection of statements or threads known as the Yoga Sutras. These serve as a philosophical guide book for most of the yoga that is practiced today.
The Sutras also outline the eight limbs of yoga:
- yamas (restraints)
- niyamas (observances)
- asana (postures)
- pranayama (breathing techniques)
- pratyahara (withdrawal of senses)
- dharana (concentration)
- dyhana (meditation)
- samadhi (liberation, enlightenment)
Today the majority of people that practice yoga are engaged in the third limb, asana, which is a program of physical postures designed to purify the body and provide physical strength and stamina for long periods of meditation.
Yoga is not associated with rebellion or revolution; instead, it is a practical response to our modern, hectic lives. The general practice of hatha yoga is one that strives to be progressive while maintaining basic tradition.
Beth's Approach
My classes reflect what I have learned over the years with a variety of teachers. I offer a holistic style of yoga to my students. In my classes I focus on the physical elements of hatha yoga and combine classical yoga poses, preliminary exercises and stretches to move and awaken the body and to help the student get in touch with parts of the body that may have been forgotten! I also incorporate some breathing techniques particularly for releasing tension and to aid relaxation
I have been practicing yoga for over fifteen years, intially coming to yoga a means of relaxing and trying to bring balance to my busy schedule of teaching full time as a fitness trainer within a health spa. I soon discovered the benefits of yoga on all levels, physical, mental and emotional and am very passionate about my yoga practice.
I qualified nine years ago as a British Wheel of Yoga teacher and continue to study with a variety of teachers. Yoga is a fundamental part of my life and I continue to find much inspiration from the teachings and words of BKS Iyengar, Doug Keller, Donna Farhi, Eric Schiffman and Shiva Rea.
