Breathe In, Breathe Out 'Asana is that perfect moment when the body is utterly still, effortless; sensation and breathing suspend themselves so that time comes to a halt.
Then: happiness in a moment of infinity.'

When you come to Yoga, please feel free to feel tired , even exhausted, even achy. Yoga is there to sort you out.
BUT, if you have your period, PLEASE let the teacher know. Some postures are better for you, some are not advisable (inverted postures, strong twists).
If you have a bad back, bad foot, a stiff neck ,
never mind. Do come and ask the teacher to find for you a nice relaxing pose. A lot of discomforts can be relieved through relaxation.
Please, do speak to the teacher, either before or after the class. It’s very pleasant to know how you feel and if the class has been beneficial.
If you really need special attention, then please ask for a one to one session.
By Laurence Nagy, on 10 October 2009
As long as you and your baby are in good health, you may attend class until your due date. Some students even come to class on or after their due date!
Please wear comfortable clothes for class
While we do not recommend eating before regular yoga classes, pregnant women usually need to eat smaller meals more often. If you need to eat before class, please have a light snack, such as yogurt or fruit (but not a big meal!). Be sure to drink plenty of fluids before and after class, too.
If you feel unwell during class, please stop practicing and relax. Be sure to let the instructor know.
If you have had any health concerns prior to or during your pregnancy, please be sure to let each instructor know.

Biography Laurence qualified in Vinyasa Yoga with Gérard Arnaud, Paris, in 2008 after 12 years of regular practice in the UK, Japan and France. She also qualified in Pregnancy Yoga with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2011. For her own practice, Laurence regularly attends workshops at the Iyengar Institute in London and in Oxford.
Opened to various styles, Laurence has a preference for Vinyasa sequences which involve connecting postures with breath-synchronised movements. As a teacher, Laurence is aware that Vinyasa can be too strong for complete beginners or students with a medical condition. Her close experience with Hatha Yoga and Iyengar "styles" allows her to adapt her practice to mixed abilities. Her classes are up and running in South Oxfordshire, where she lives with her husband and three children. She loves teaching and hopes to share all the benefits she gets from yoga with her students.
