Why I do yoga
|
I have spent much of my working life in various busy admin roles and I was first drawn to yoga as a means of exercising and stretching my muscles. But I soon became aware that yoga has so much more to offer.
When I was in my office job I always found going to a yoga class was like stepping into a different world. There is something about sitting on a yoga mat that is soothing and calming – this is a special space where things can be different. Like being on holiday for a short while - but without all the hassles of travel. And when I left each yoga class, it was like returning from holiday with a newly relaxed body and refreshed mind. The more you practise yoga, the more you can carry that yoga world into everyday life, transforming the mundane into something special and meaningful. Yoga is all encompassing – physically strengthening, mentally clarifying and, if you want it, spiritually uplifting. These are the qualities, the lessons, I aim to teach and encourage students to develop in my yoga classes. |

Testimonials |
I have practised yoga on and off for almost 20 years. I am so delighted to have found Dominique. She has proven to be exactly what my ageing body needs. She has great understanding of individuals' requirements - she is very kind and caring. I leave her classes feeling energised but also calm and relaxed. Thank you so very much. Christine.
Dominique is a great teacher who helps you to explore the postures with awareness. Dominique’s friendly classes have improved my strength and suppleness, and I always leave feeling relaxed. Jacqui.
Having suffered with back pain for years and with a sedentary job, this made me consider Yoga. I was hooked from the first class I attended and now attend two of her classes. Thanks to Dominique my body is a lot more supple and now have the “tools” to ease the pain. I feel invigorated after every yoga practice and best of all I have lost half a stone (without trying) and streamlined my body. K.
Dominique is an inspirational teacher. She guides me to use my breath to “tune in” to my body; her guided meditations are beautiful. Thank you. Anne.
Every week I feel that I improve my body strength and balance ...
I look forward to the sensation of feeling energised and relaxed by the varied and interesting yoga postures and meditations that Dominique, as a gifted teacher, will bring to every class ..... her approach is always caring and mindful ... Margaret.
Dominique is a wonderful teacher and I can fully recommend her classes. I started with gentle yoga on a Wednesday just over a year ago and now regularly attend dynamic and Ashtanga classes. I’m conscious of improved posture and upper body strength. I always leave a class having learnt something new about my body and mind which Dominique encourages us to explore in a welcoming and friendly environment. Jane.
Dominique's class has been my first experience of yoga and now I am a convert. I feel welcomed and comfortable going into the classes and always leave feeling relaxed. Nicola.
When I began Dominique's class, I realised I had gotten into bad habits over the years. Her precise and gentle teaching style has worked wonders on both my suppleness and core strength. Julie-Ann.
