Wendy Cohen Yoga | Ingatestone, United Kingdom

Wendy Cohen Yoga is a welcoming and serene Yoga studio located in Ingatestone, Essex. Owned and operated by Wendy Cohen, a passionate Yoga teacher, interior designer, vegetarian cook, and mother of three, this studio offers a unique and holistic approach to Yoga practise.

Wendy has been practising Yoga since 2001 and started her teaching journey in 2010. With extensive experience and knowledge, she has developed her own method that focuses on soothing the nervous system and achieving deep states of relaxation through a combination of mobilisation, gentle movement, Yoga Nidra (guided relaxation), and Restorative Yoga.

The studio offers a variety of classes, including group classes, recorded classes, workshops, and now, new for 2023, 30-minute Strength classes hosted via Zoom. These classes are designed to provide a time and space for individuals to gently move, stretch, and relax, allowing them to feel rejuvenated and refreshed without depletion. Wendy's classes are the perfect complement to more intense workout regimes and the stress of everyday life.

Yoga Nidra is a speciality at Wendy Cohen Yoga. This practise, often referred to as “guided relaxation,” helps individuals enter a state of open awareness and dreamless sleep, providing deep rest for both the body and mind. Private Yoga Nidra sessions are available and can be tailored to individual needs, with recorded sessions provided for long-term use.

The benefits of Yoga Nidra are vast and include the activation of the relaxation response, leading to improved functioning of the nervous system and endocrine system, which affects hormones. Yoga Nidra also promotes cellular regeneration and repair, decreases anxiety levels, and improves overall mood. Research studies have shown that Yoga Nidra can significantly reduce anxiety and stress levels.

At Wendy Cohen Yoga, every student's well-being is a top priority. Wendy's nurturing and welcoming approach ensures that students of all levels and abilities feel comfortable and supported in their Yoga journey. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Wendy's classes and workshops provide a safe and inclusive space to explore and deepen your Yoga practise.
