Sarah Lloyd teaches a Hatha and Yin yoga class which draws on somatic movement practices, bodywork and her background as a contemporary dancer. She is directly influenced by the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen (Body-Mind Centering) and André Bernard (Ideokinesis).

A key principle in her yoga teaching is ‘doing less’.  Yoga is a dynamic and transformative process, reflecting our constantly changing and evolving journeys as we navigate through our lives.  However, as we develop, we can accumulate patterns of posture and movement that are less fluid and require effort and excessive tension to maintain.  Sarah explores and brings attention to these patterns in her classes.  Keeping the mind curious and light, she encourages our bodies to unwind, slow down, let go and integrate new ways of being.  Old habits are released and the body/mind feels lighter, calmer and more spacious.  Deeper postural muscles come alive to give support and space for the spine to express more freely and a sense of fluidity, connectedness and ease of breath returns.

Sarah sees yoga as a journey towards a greater sense of feeling at home within our selves and more fully aware of our sensory nature.  This emerges in her teaching with the invitation for ‘feeling more’; a subtle process that asks for deep listening and quiet attentiveness.  Sarah plays creatively with themes each week in her classes and introduces different journeys into the yoga poses, to provide fresh perspectives and experiences for our sensory selves.

She balances her classes between sequenced, flowing movements and quieter phases which allow for more focused detail and experiential investigation.

Sarah's classes are suitable for all ages and abilities whether you are new to yoga or have explored it for many years. 
All classes are taught in English.
