Yoga classes (in person AND zoom) in Romford, Gidea Park and (coming soon!) Upminster - combining classic Hatha with flowing Dru sequences - suitable for everyone. New students and complete beginners especially welcome - expect small, friendly and supportive groups with a mix of ages and abilities. Modifications and chair alternatives offered when appropriate.
1-1 Zooms
- Not ready to join a group class yet?
- Want to learn more about yoga before you start?
- Class times don't fit into your routine?
- Want to develop a home practice but don't want to commit to weekly classes?
If any of the above apply to you, why not arrange a 1-1 zoom? There are a limited number available and we can arrange to meet at a mutually convenient time.
The first session will consist of a discussion to decide your personal needs followed by a short practice. A recording of the session will be made available to you and you will receive a home practice programme based on our discussion.
After that you can book a follow-up block of 4 zoom 1-1s building on the initial session. Alternatively you may choose to join a group class.
Whatever you decide there is no pressure to book anything further after our first meeting. It could be that you only need one session to help you with a particular aspect of your practice eg breathing, modifications or alignment.
Initial zoom (1 hr) = £10
Follow ups x 4 = £40
*************************
Dru comes from the Sanskrit word "Dhruva" and is the north star, the still point around which the universe revolves.
It is the same stillness that can be experienced in Dru Yoga and Meditation.

September Theme: Empathy
AFFIRMATION:
My empathy holds space for other people's feelings, and that is a wonderful gift.
Quote of the week:
"I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person."

What our students are saying
What our students are saying
The RAFA yoga sessions have been great for my posture and mindfulness.
The classes are relaxing and help me reset for the week ahead.
Thank you Mary! I will be booking in my next class again!
Lisa (Sunday Stretch and Flow - 6th Feb 22 - Silver Member)
Thank you for my individual session. It was very good, I was able to see where I need to put more attention and adjust the exercises to my personal needs, it was really very helpful.
Lidia (1-1 Individual In Person Session - Jan 22 - Gold Member)
Mary gave a great yoga session at R.A.F.A today. R.A.F.A is a comfortable, airy venue for the much needed stretch and flow after the festive feasting. I can start my week with positivity and a good sense of well-being from the yogic breathing, stretch and affirmation. Looking forward to rejuvenating my body and soul next Sunday.
Maria (Sunday Stretch and Flow - 9th Jan 22 - Gold Member)
Thank you so much Mary for visiting our club. We all enjoyed your Dru Yoga demonstration and hopefully will continue with what you showed us!
