Welcome to Yoga Brilliance
I have developed my website for anyone interested in establishing their own Yoga practice.
It is not necessary that you be fit, slim, acrobatic, healthy or have any other of the common misconceptions people hold about yoga. The art of Yoga is relaxation; releasing stress and tension within the body and the mind, basically opening to the present moment in all its beauty and balance.
I teach Yoga one to one because I find it immensely satisfying to identify the needs of my clients and create an individual program that supports their unique disposition, level of skill and fitness. It is one of the greatest gifts in life for me to assist someone in their growth physically, mentally and spiritually. I also love teaching couples and other partnership combinations like a parent and child because learning Yoga together is so enriching and fun.
There are detailed descriptions of some of the major asanas (Yoga postures) alongside photos together with information about which of the chakra energy centres it stimulates and opens. You can subscribe to my FREE Yoga Meditation offer to help encourage and sustain both your interest and practice of Yoga. I trust you will enjoy the site, travel lightly on this earth and smile in your heart.
The Principle of Yoga
The root of the Sanskrit word Yoga means yoke or union and the principle of yoga is to unite ourselves with the universal principles of life, bringing our awareness into the present, free from worry and guilt about the future and the past. Relaxation is the alpha and omega of yoga and whether it be experienced through stretching and relaxing into a posture, resting between poses or in the final relaxation process, the act of letting go frees us. Yoga is designed to connect us to the present - in every action, in every moment, fully aware and alive to the potential of the moment. Through Yoga you can learn to accept the present, to accept yourself exactly as you are and to honour the life that is your creation. To create a life that is joyful and complete one must call upon and balance the ability to manifest what you want, with the desire to be free. Chakra yoga can empower you to do just that.
Not only will you create a greater sense of well being but some of the other major benefits of your Yoga practice will include strengthening and toning of muscles, enhanced flexibility, greater natural will power and self discipline and heightened awareness and clarity.
I discovered Yoga 17 years ago at the onset of a major career transition from accountancy to the unknown but exciting world of creativity, as an actress and artist. It became the catalyst for personal transformation and was an elegant pathway and support in my recovery from the eating disorder, bulimia. Yoga introduced me to nutrition, strengthened my body and taught me the value of both positive thinking and not thinking at all. Yoga has sustained and nourished me ever since and I feel privileged and blessed to share its gifts in whatever form, whether it be teaching fellow passengers some basic yoga stretches on board a flight, or enabling young children to connect with the spirit of yoga through animal storytelling. Whether it be teaching one to one in a beautiful, harmonious space or teaching twenty tough and noisy teenagers in school. So if you are curious about yoga and have always been shy or put off by the large, impersonal classes in your local gym, why not give me a call and try a session.
Yoga may be particularly helpful if you identify with any of the statements below:
If any of these statements apply to you, Yoga could be an excellent way to redress the balance:- I feel very stressed at times and don't know how to release it
- I am out of shape and want to feel strong and powerful again

- I am out of tune with my body and don't respect it very much
- Part of me feels disatisfied with life and I know it could be different
- I seem to have a weak immune system - I keep catching colds and the flu
- My life feels out of balance and I have lost my focus
- I was very athletic once upon a time but having children changed that
- I don't know how to relax and flow with life
- I want to improve my level of fitness and flexibility but not go mad
- I am out of touch with myself and what I need to feel energised and joyful
