What happens next...
For all individual yoga and therapy classes you will have a comprehensive assessment lasting about an hour and half. This includes taking a full history of your health, current situation and observing your present patterns of movement and breath.
The assessment ensures that you feel happy for us to work together. Here we will explore different ways to incorporate yoga into your schedule: there will be various possibilities and you can decide which suits you best.
The first yoga lesson will follow after the assessment. You will be guided through your own personal practice and taught to perform this safely at home. Generally a written copy of your practice will be given as an aide memoire.
You should allow some time for the benefits of the practice to be experienced: each individual will respond in their own unique and appropriate way. Therefore a minimum of four lessons over three months is suggested.
"Master your breath, let the self be in bliss, contemplate on the sublime within you." T Krishnamacharya
For group classes students should download the general health questionnaire and bring it with them to the class.
Yoga in everyday life and to recover from injury
My yoga journey with Celeste has included recovery from injury, daily practice to anchor myself: weekly online classes to restore and one-to-one sessions when needed. Celeste meets me where I am, listens carefully and creates a practice which suits my everyday life: motivates me to deepen my yoga practice. I feel the difference emotionally, in body and in mind.
A dear friend recommended Celeste after an accident where I was badly injured. The sessions had to be online because of my location. I was amazed by the way she was able to observe everything through the screen. The Therapy made me feel deeply cared for and the way my body responded gave me trust and confidence in the process.
When the therapeutic work ended, I had strength and movement back in my arm and wanted a regular routine. Celeste created a daily one taking my previous experience — everything into consideration.
I work in the caring profession, so when I recently felt unable to transition into the evening, I contacted Celeste for a one-to-one session. She adapted my practice so I could leave the work day behind - I gained hours of relaxed and clearheaded time from her careful tailoring of yoga!
I now also attend the online classes. This weekly wind-down and reset adds even more balance, stability and joy to my life and I highly recommend this class. Christine S
