"There is a way of doing yoga poses, that we call asanas, without the
slightest effort. Movement is the song of the body. Yes the body has it's
song from which the movement arises spontaneously...........This song if
you care to listen to it is beauty."
Vanda Scaravelli from her book "Awakening the Spine"

approach
Inspired by the yoga of Vanda Scaravelli and Diane Long who emphasise the use of the breath to undo tension in the
body and to allow the natural elongation of the spine, my approach to yoga places an emphasis on the quality of your
movement above the achievement of postures.
These movement principles help to create a framework for the discovery of joyful, light movement which will enhance
your yoga practice and encourage your heart to open naturally. You will find yourself moving with more fluidity and
balance with a deeper connection to core strength.
I work with you as much as possible individually and use hands-on assistance based on what I observe in your body.
This intuitive attention assists you to experience a new freedom in your body, improved posture and range of
movement.

"I came to the workshop to discover more about one of
my favourite asanas. Lai encouraged us to "play with"
many aspects of the downward dog pose - an aspect we
often forgot about as teachers. I enjoyed the way Lai
guided us through subtle adjustments of the hands and
feet which made vast changes to the elongation of the
spine.
We did 2 downward dogs in 3 hours - one at the
beginning of the workshop and then one at the end - but
Wow there was a world of difference between the two.
Look forward to exploring other postures with you. Can't
wait to share some of this insight with my students"
