Rocky's yoga class is specifically focused on men's bodies. We keep it simple with easy to understand instructions. The practice is designed for men and taught by men. The benefits from yoga come from a regular, consistent practice. All classes are suitable for beginers and those who have practise before, you know you will only see results with regular sessions. Whether our goal is to strengthen the body or strengthen the mind, commitment is the key if you want results.
The Yoga poses or Asanas have been used by men for centuries to get their heads away from the busy busy day and into a focused state where they could switch off. This was done by concentrating on the movements of the body and also focusing on the breath, using the breath as an anchor for the mind. Once they’d gone through a few poses they found it easier to meditate. Learning to see the thoughts as they come along and let them pass without getting involved in them is a skill you’ll learn with a regular practice. All sessions combine movement with meditation and will help ease stress and anxiety, increase grey matter in your brain (that’s the stuff that helps with memory!) and calm you down if you’ve got a short fuse. No experience is required for these sessions and you'll be welcomed into a great community of blokes. I'll guide you through the basics; observe and assist when needed and can work around each individual student’s limitations. You'll get my full support and I'll help you modify poses if you are working any past injuries.
