Whilst I respect all the traditional elements of Yoga, I very rarely use Sanskrit language or terminology in class any more. In my experience I have found that the use of Sanskrit can often cause confusion, or even come across as pretentious. I prefer a simpler approach that I hope helps your Yoga learning process. I don't chant in the scheduled classes. However, I'm happy to chant if required in private tuition. To be completely inclusive I endeavour to avoid any religious reference. The classes are ethical and moral and created primarily to enhance our mental and physical wellbeing. Applying what we learn about ourselves, and using this to enhance our day to day life. Better in self discipline, better in health and better in our relationship with others. 😌

I do provide clean mats, and equipment. However, of course your more than welcome to bring your own equipment.

Yes please. The Yoga room is small. And as I believe in quality over quantity, there are only ten places available in each session. This gives you room between mats. Knowing how many people will be attending gives me the opportunity to set up the studio in advance. Giving you the best position for your visibility, and also to enable me to also have the best view to attend your needs as a teacher. You can book via the website, or the 'Fit by Wix' App. Just look for Viva Yoga.

Safety is paramount to me when it comes to your practice. I believe that moving joints and improving circulation and lung capacity by moving slowly and not forcing, this will help you transition back to health, recovery. Yoga can help with stiffness and give relief from joint pain, and is immensely beneficial if you should suffer with depression or anxiety. I would suggest you attend the calm sessions to begin with, as the movement is slow and mindful. Almost like moving meditation.

I'm Sam Walker, your instructor. It's nearly 30 years since my first Yoga session, and 28 of those years, as a teacher and teacher trainer. After practicing all styles of Yoga, such as Ashtanga, Iyengar, Sivananda and Yin, I feel I've chosen the most beneficial Yoga poses, and created different ways to transition into them, with safety being my priority. Whether you choose a calm class, or an uplifting class, no two sessions will be the same. Each session will be adapted to those who attend on the day.

Yes, absolutely you will be fine. I make sure that I keep a good eye on any newcomer.

It's our aim to have you feel welcome.
