Gentle Yoga
All of us at some time in our life experience a problem with our body.   It could be for a number of reasons, an accident, injury, wear & tear or stress.
With patience and the right guidance yoga can go a long way towards helping, and in many cases, eradicating the problem completely.
This class will support individuals with their own problem areas whilst still maintaining the integrity of working in a group.
As well as a serious healing practice the class will be warm, welcoming and fun. Joy strongly encourages all ages and levels to come to the class.  This class is ideal for anyone working through injuries and pain.
Joy has taught yoga for approximately 20 years and was inspired to teach after recovering herself from a major back injury.  She was unable to work for 2 years and thought life as she knew it was over.
Joy has recently produced a downloadable manual on Yoga for Back Pain. It is ready to soon be launched on the internet. The book is a perfect accompaniment to the classes and will be available in February, 2008
