One Yoga Hexham - Aimi Dunstan is a highly experienced and knowledgeable Iyengar Yoga instructor based in Hexham, New Zealand. With ten years of teaching experience and eighteen years of personal yoga practise, Aimi is dedicated to providing inclusive and accessible classes for all individuals, regardless of their level of experience or physical condition.
The classes are held in the beautiful Lockhart Room at the Moothall in Hexham, providing a serene and calm environment for the practise of yoga. With limited class sizes, Aimi ensures that each individual receives personalised attention and guidance, allowing her to tailor the classes to suit the needs and abilities of each participant.
Aimi's teaching approach is rooted in the Iyengar tradition, which emphasises precision and alignment of the body combined with breath awareness. Quality of movement is prioritised over quantity, and students are encouraged to move with ease while respecting their own limitations. Aimi carefully observes each student and provides adjustments and modifications to ensure safety and maximised benefits from the practise.
Throughout the classes, Aimi teaches a variety of postures (asanas) that target different areas of the body, allowing participants to experience a wide range of movements and stretches. With over two hundred different poses, every class offers a unique experience. The Iyengar technique also incorporates longer holds of poses, which allows tight muscles to lengthen and relax, fostering a deep awareness of the body.
Regardless of experience level, beginners are warmly welcomed and are introduced to standing poses to build a strong foundation before moving on to more advanced poses. Aimi believes in progressive learning, ensuring that each student develops a stable and strong base before attempting more demanding work. Furthermore, she provides appropriate equipment for those with injuries to protect and support their bodies during the practise.
In each class, Aimi dedicates time to relaxation, recognising the importance of rest and rejuvenation. With consistent practise, participants can expect improvements in posture, strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness. Aimi's aim is to help her students incorporate yoga as a part of their self-care routine, enabling them to experience a sense of peace, balance, and happiness in their lives.
