WHAT IS RAE BIRD YOGA?

​

• Rae Bird Yoga is 'kind' yoga.

​​

• 'Kind' yoga embraces the reality that every body and every mind is unique.

 

• 'Kind' yoga is a yoga practice for the 21st century. It is a response to the fast-paced and often stress-filled lives that we lead.

 

• 'Kind' yoga aims to give you tools to:

know and understand your body and mind and how they function best

to notice and recognise habits - mental and physical - that may or may not serve you positively

to optimise your potential without taking yourself into unnecessary places of pain, discomfort or frustration

​​

• Through a fusion of yoga styles - from functional to flow - yoga postures and gentle movement benefit agility, mobility, balance and co-ordination. 

 

• Breath work and relaxation techniques, including restorative yoga and yoga nidra, aim to enhance your practice, and perhaps your ability to manage your life in an everyday context.​

 

• 'Kind' yoga is not about performance or the aesthetic of achieving a specific shape in a posture or movement.

 

• 'Kind' yoga is about your physical, mental and emotional journey towards greater kindness to yourself, self-awareness and perhaps coming to a place of inner peace for now and long into your future.

​

• There is never an expectation that you are 'fit' or 'flexible'. There are no expectations at all.

​

• My promise to you is that I will always treat you with kindness and will always respect who you are, your abilities and your infinite possibilities.
