Barbara, the dedicated organiser behind Yoga in Life, is excited to share an update with her fellow sports enthusiasts. Based in Sawbridgeworth, Barbara is an experienced yoga instructor with a genuine passion for bringing yoga to all members of the community. She’s set up a variety of classes that cater to different age groups, abilities, and physical conditions.
Barbara has a straightforward but effective approach to her yoga classes. At Yoga in Life, you'll find a supportive and welcoming environment. Whether you're a complete beginner or someone returning to yoga after a break, her classes are designed to accommodate everyone. The focus is on enjoying the practice, not on achieving perfect poses. Students are encouraged to work with their own bodies to find the best versions of each pose, fostering a sense of calm and relaxation.
One of the classes she’s particularly proud of is the Gentle Hatha Flow. These sessions are slower-paced and focus on correct alignment to ensure safety and stability. The poses are adapted to suit each individual's needs, with a mix of stretching and low-impact movements. Every class includes elements of meditation, breathwork, and relaxation, making it ideal for beginners or those who haven't practised in a while.
Barbara also offers Chair Yoga, a unique class tailored for those with reduced strength, flexibility, or mobility, whether due to ageing, illness, or injury. Using a chair as a prop, participants can either sit or use it for balance and support. It's a great way to make yoga accessible for everyone, and there’s an opportunity to socialise over a cup of tea and some cake at the end of each session.
