LAND Yoga WITH KRISTINE

My Land Yoga

My motivation is always of a therapeutic nature. ‘What can be done to support feeling really good, and better from the current place and space?’ My teaching styles are a fusion of Eight Limbs Hatha, Vinyasa, Forrest, Yin, and Yoga Nidra.

I create session plans designed specifically with your needs and goals in mind, whether relieving discomfort from an isolated area, easing tension from the web of myofascial connective tissues, or working to create a greater range of movement and mobility, generally acclimating to more spaciousness in the physical, mental, emotional and energetic and spiritual bodies.

FAQs

Click on a question to read the answers!

+ What can I expect from a land yoga class?

We tend to start sessions with setting your intention or Sankalpa, practice some meditation, controlled breathing then warming and energising poses, before some cooling ones and then finishing with relaxation. Sometimes I will use guided meditation, or singing bowls, some days we surrender to up taking the blissful serenity of pure silence. Practicing in this way we can get deeper into a pose, and with greater range of poses offered as they are generally more accessible than if we’re practicing on a board. We also have more availability in using props such as belts/straps, blocks and bolsters.

+ Who are the classes suitable for?

Classes are suitable for anyone! Whether thinking about getting more active to those with established yoga/fitness regimes, to anyone who needs to work on managing stress and finding balance and homeostasis. My sessions are open to all levels and capabilities, suitable for all levels from 16 years old.

+ What about Partner Yoga?

I love Partner Yoga Classes, these are suitable for anyone and are super fun, especially great for hen/stag or corporate groups. Super playful and can be challenging in a really positive way.

+ When and where do classes take place?

Get in touch via my Contacts page to enquire about availability for a date and time that suits us both.

+ How much do classes cost?

Cost advised upon enquiry.

+ What equipment is provided?

It is always advisable that you have your own yoga mat to use, not just from a point of hygiene [especially since Covid], but having your own mat also helps to instil your own connection to your mat and your practice - it’s a relationship that you harness, your practice becomes sacred and your mat takes on your energy. Let it know you better than your best friend as it hears every whisper and every intention you set at the beginning of every practice. I do have spare sanitised mats available to borrow if you're just starting your journey into yoga.

Depending on the session plan I create I will also bring any blocks, bolsters, belts, myofascial tension release balls etc., should the session require.

+ What should I wear and bring?

Wear comfortable clothing, loose but not baggy, or leggings/shorts if you prefer. In winter cosy socks, jumper and blanket are great for relaxation. Don't forget drinking water to stay hydrated.

+ Info for pregnant women?

I have been trainied in prenatal yoga and would be delighted to facilitate your and your unborn baby's journey together, working on breath techniques to facilitate 'getting into the zone', overcoming fears - especially useful in the third trimester and the nearing due date, using vocal toning, releiving back ache, strengthening the supportive muscles of the load bearing joints - I work with you, session-by-session, based on how you're feeling on the particular day of practice.

Land Yoga Student Experiences

Kristine is an extremely talented and warming teacher, allowing everyone and all experience levels to partake in the sessions. She is able to nurture and also challenge students in achieving their goals while assisting them in the development of their practice. Finishing the week off with a session is fantastic but any session allows the stresses and stagnated energy to dissipate away, I can’t recommend her enough!

How yoga found me

Yoga found me in 2000 exactly when I needed it. Yoga helped me by shining a light onto and accepting the shadow sides of myself  that I hadn’t previously been aware of.

Yoga gives me tools to deal with, accept, and overcome challenges and has allowed me to feel more trusting towards not being in control of everything – learning to let go of the things I can’t control and to make better decisions for the things I can control, riding the flows in life, with compassion, humility and gratitude that as one door closes another opens, and usually for the better.

The types of yoga I practiced before obtaining my own certification included Ashatanga, Vinyasa, Iygengar, Sun Power, Forrest, Dynamic, and Yin.

I took my first yoga teacher training in 2012 in Bali, learning Hatha and Vinyasa Eight Limbs of Yoga, in the Sri T Krishnamacharya lineage, and I’ve been attended several continuing educational programmes since.
