This is a Hatha yoga, breathwork and relaxation session which is suitable for beginners and experienced yogi's alike.  

The session will start with some gentle yoga exercises to warm up the body.  This will be followed by breathwork (pranayama) followed by a simple mindfulness meditation.  

There will be a break halfway through with refreshments, biscuits and cake. Let me know if you have any dietary requirements.

Finally - yoga nidra.  This is also known as yogic sleep and is a guided meditation which is done lying down in savasana.  It creates a deep sense of relaxation in both the body and the mind which leads to s state of relaxed awareness. 

An Afternoon of Hatha Yoga, Meditation and Relaxation

Lynsey Thomas

Loved the Yoga and Mediation class on Saturday. I left feeling very chilled and happy. Just what I needed. Loved the Shamanic Meditation, it really takes you somewhere else and gives a wonderful sense of peace. 2hrs 30mins seems like a long session, but time really passes so quickly. I would definitely go to the next session and highly recommend it to anyone :-) Thank you Dave!

Millie Sarin

The Hatha Yoga, Breathwork and Meditation event was an amazing experience for me leaving me with a deep sense of relaxation and inner peace. It provided a much-needed break from the daily grind, and I left feeling not only physically rejuvenated but also mentally and emotionally recharged. I would highly recommend attending such a retreat to anyone looking to escape the stress of daily life and connect with their inner self in a serene and supportive environment.  David is a fantastic instructor and I am looking forward to the next one.

David O'Neill

David is an amazing instructor, his classes are different from others that I've attended. I always leave each session with a calm mind and his personality  always puts a smile on my face.

I’ve been going to Dave’s yoga session for quite a few years now, it’s helped a lot with my flexibility and core strength, which compliments my running and cycling 
Going to Dave’s class is always enjoyable and you feel so much better after the session ( especially the relaxation) at the end.
Can’t wait till the sessions start again in September 👌🏻🤩

Kath Sheldrick

Dave  is a great instructor who takes care to build up each class member's capability and confidence with the foundations of the asanas. Everyone appreciates Dave's sense of humour too.

Russell Moran

Hi ,Dave's class was relaxed and diverse .As a complete beginner I felt at ease as we began and as the class progressed i felt involved and guided ,As we meditated at the end of the session I found myself realizing that i was both completely relaxed and every part of my body had been pulled and pushed and now felt strong and light and completely wiped out but in a good way  Feeling great ,cant wait until next week.

Being a newbie to yoga it was great to be in the relaxed friendly class. Whilst it was hard work at times (for me anyway) David's  encouraging and down to earth approach was really helpful. I have already booked my next class.

Jo Blackham

I’m new to yoga but wanted to try to build some strength as well as improve my general wellbeing.  I was made to feel very welcome and the class is suitable for a mix of abilities with really clear instruction. 
I love the meditation at the end of the session and it’s such a great way to end the week and start the weekend! 

MARY ROBERTS

I already attend a Hatha Yoga class every week but wanted to add another one. I found David's class more challenging but  he also shows alternatives and comes amongst the class to show the poses. The class is relaxed and friendly, great way to end the week or start the weekend. Loved It!    

Hatha Yoga - Friday 6pm

Great yoga session with an excellent teacher. Really good way to relax at the end of week and get reenergised. The session flows really well

jo SEECHARAN

Yikes, how to describe David's yoga classes..... hmmmm...... an intriguing combination of yoga and comedy: reverential yet hilarious. Not sure that should work but it does :) Certainly a unique Friday night.   Accessible for beginners to more advanced.  

Philippa Millard

Loved it - friendly and healthy and relaxing!

Linda Fordham

I moved to the area in May and wanted to continue my yoga practice. I found Bendyoga and have been attending the Friday class.  The classes can sometimes be challenging, never boring and always with a dose of humour. Friday class is ideal for those who have been attending a yoga class previously.

Great as always left feeling nice and chilled highly recommend dates classes 

daves  yoga classes are great feel Great after also if you have problem areas eg back or hips let him no and he will give you alternative stretches and moves also he has a dry sense of humour can't for the new year when classes begin again highly recommend

Welcome to this free introduction to Yoga for Backs.

There are 10 short videos in this introduction. It is recommended to schedule some time each day to go through these, they take between 5-10 minutes.

The first video is a 10 minute introduction to the course, and in each of the other videos I show a number of yoga postures to help ease back pain as well as developing core strength and flexibility.

There is also a daily relaxation which takes less than 15 minutes.

Topics I’ll be covering include:
- Yoga techniques to help relieve bad back episodes
- Exercises to improve strength and flexibility (you don’t have to be bendy to do yoga, this comes over time)
- Relaxation techniques for stress relief

The goal of this programme is to help you to find a way to control your back pain and lead a normal life.
