Are you the owner of Yoga Feeling?
Yoga Feeling is a unique yoga studio located in Bromley, New Zealand. It was established as a response to the diluted and generic yoga classes commonly found in health clubs and gyms. The studio strongly believes in the importance of knowledgeable teachers who can provide individualised attention to their students. The goal is to help individuals develop their asana practise and support their growth in both physical and mental well-being, both on and off the mat.
Classes at Yoga Feeling typically run for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Each session begins with a warm-up to prepare the body, followed by a sequence of standing and seated postures, vinyasa flow, and relaxation. Regular practise is highly encouraged as it promotes the overall health of the body and mind. The studio emphasises the value of consistent practise with the same teacher, allowing for a deepened partnership between student and instructor.
This ensures that the teacher can identify individual limitations and provide necessary support, while the student can trust in the teacher's knowledge and ability to prevent injury.
When attending a class at Yoga Feeling, it is recommended to practise on an empty stomach. Participants are advised to bring their own yoga mat, especially during the current COVID-19 situation, as well as a water bottle for hydration during the session. For more energetic classes, a gym towel may be useful, and during cooler weather, it is suggested to bring a jumper for relaxation time.
While traditional Ashtanga yoga does not typically incorporate props, Yoga Feeling recognises their potential benefits. Participants are welcome to bring blocks, belts, or other props to assist them in their practise.
The studio offers classes taught by Tim Steel, an experienced yogi who has been practising yoga since childhood. Tim's mother was one of the first yoga practitioners in the UK, which exposed him to yoga from a young age. He has had the privilege of practising with esteemed yoga teachers and received his teaching certification from the Patanjali School of Yoga in India. Tim's teaching style combines elements from various yoga styles, incorporating the best practises for an enriching experience.
Additionally, Yoga Feeling conducts workshops on Sundays at their Hayes studio. These workshops typically last around 2 hours and focus on specific aspects of practise, such as hip openers, inversions, balances, and backbends. Participants have the opportunity to delve deeper into their practise and receive helpful guidance and tips that can be incorporated into regular classes.
For those seeking personalised attention, private lessons are available at Yoga Feeling. These one-on-one sessions allow for a customised approach to address specific needs or areas that require extra work or assistance. Some individuals come with specific goals in mind, while others simply enjoy the individualised instruction.
Yoga Feeling is dedicated to providing a nurturing and educational environment for individuals seeking to deepen their yoga practise. Whether attending regular classes, workshops, or opting for private lessons, participants can expect guidance and support in their journey towards physical and mental well-being.
