Please note: Athough we are shown in Lovely Planet and on Nancy Chandler's map, in September 2007 the Ratchamanka Rd. location closed, and we moved to an even better place to practice! See the "contact us" page for the new location and a map. Still very easy to get to!

The first steps of a new journey are the most important, so let me help you on your exploration into yoga. With 23 years of yoga experience this is a rare opportunity to have such skilled guidance. I am well known for coaxing the best from students of many different abilities with patience, humour and understanding. Please go to "teacher" page for more info about me.

BODY: In this Intensive we will work with the Foundation poses: standing poses, forward bends, back bends, twists, balancings, so you will experience your body with a new understanding.

BREATH: As well we will start to work with the breath, becoming aware of it, controlling it and synchronising it with movement.

MIND: We will have a short, accessible introduction to the practice of Mindfulness meditation -- getting a taste of it – and learn to apply it in Yoga practice as well as in everyday life.

Also included free of charge! Quotations, poems, teaching stories from various traditions and joy of life!

"I hope to inspire you to make yoga a life-long – and a life-changing – pursuit!"

The general timetable will be (each day):

3.30 Introduction to Meditation

About yoga Intensives: A Yoga Intensive is a special time when we can take time out from our usual busy life to focus more deeply on our practice. An Intensive will allow us to develop a daily practice, to notice the benefits that this brings with it, and to set a solid foundation for afterwards. It is a time when we make a conscious choice to let old patterns drop away, all those things that we do to avoid ourselves, and to give ourselves the opportunity to experience ourselves more clearly, and forge new and healthier patterns in life.

In my own life I have found periods of intensely focussed practice, and especially a retreat to be incredibly helpful, which is why I am very pleased to be offering you the chance to join me. I am hoping to hold longer yoga retreats in the coming times, as more and more people develop a regular practice, and would like to take it to the next level. A yoga retreat at the Yoga Studio Chiang Mai may well be the next level you are looking for!
