PRACTICE IN PERSON

You can next find Bess guiding daily yoga at Soul & Surf in the beautiful & vibrant coastal surf town of Ahangama on Sri Lanka’s dreamy south coast from August to October 2024.

If you're staying with us at Soul & Surf or simply travelling through, you can drop in to these classes which overlook the turquoise ocean and epic coast line: home to peeling waves, a multitude of surf breaks with a fascinating local culture and a wonderful super friendly community.

Classes are open level with equipment provided, but of course feel free to bring your own and please ask any questions you need too about the sessions. We are always so happy to help.

PRACTICE ONLINE- 1 TO 1 SESSIONS

Another way to approach and develop your practice is through personalised one to one yoga sessions. I have been offering these kind private practices for many years for clients to meet their individual needs and changing life circumstances. Wether you are just starting or have some experience with yoga and its many facets- learning and exploring one on one allows for a more in depth approach and mentorship between the guide, you and the method of yoga.

WAYS WE CAN WORK- Pathways & Programs

Following the yogic tradition and in keeping with the rhythms of the universe to individual there are several ways in which we can explore practice together. Yoga today as a continuous evolution of ancient Tantra is imbued in ritual and rhythm which helpfully provide a beautiful blueprint for the method of our self study. So as well as offering a program being tailored to your personal needs and interest, we can continue to learn and grow within the ongoing pathway of yoga. This can be day by day, week by week or month by month dependent on the ability of our commitment.

Some examples of ways we can work are as follows:

• Foundations, Form and Freedom - Those who are new to yoga or restarting their practice or even regaining confidence with practice or teaching after a hiatus. Gain applied and embodied understanding of foundations: the meaningful purpose, method and practice of Hatha (sun & moon) Yoga. How it works in the world and how it works for you.

• Elemental Energetics - Discovery of our earthly and inner ecology through embodimentFrom the Earth and roots, through the sensitivity, fluid and emotive nature of Water, the dynamic focus of Fire, the movement and mind of Air and the all encompassing, expansive boundlessness of Ether- space.

• Cosmic Rhythm - In tantra which is the yoga mostly practiced today there is interest and honouring of the astrological cosmic pulse. On a simple and practical level we can apply the planetary movements, months and moons, days of the week and the flow of the day to certain qualities that we would like to bring forwards within ourselves and our lives. This brings the abundant mysterious flow of the universe into the tangible reality of our mortal bodies.

The best way to understand how we can explore yoga together is to have an informal and honest chat about where you are at and what you are seeking. Then it is possible to use the structure of one of the designed programs or adapt to the enquires and points discovered in the preliminary chat for what flow for you.

You may also want a regular one or one or group yoga class tailored to your needs rather than a deeper exploration- and this is great! For everything be in touch for more information and your needs.
