Yoga enthusiasts in the Ruislip and Ickenham areas will find a unique and refreshing approach to yoga at Yoga With Jackie. Jackie, an experienced yoga instructor, is deeply influenced by the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli, an Italian aristocrat who developed her own subtle approach to yoga after working with Mr. Iyengar.
At Yoga With Jackie, the focus is on undoing the spine through breath awareness and awakening the deep postural muscles connected to the diaphragm. This approach allows the body to straighten out and learn correct posture, resulting in more fluid and less rigid yoga asanas (postures).
Contrary to common misconceptions, yoga and meditation are not about emptying the mind. Instead, they aim to fill it with something more meaningful. At Yoga With Jackie, techniques such as noticing thoughts or focusing on the breath and spine movement are used to quiet the mind. The ultimate goal is to achieve thoughtlessness and to delve deep into a state of consciousness.
Hatha Yoga, which is a preliminary stage of yoga emphasising harmony and steadiness, is the primary style offered at Yoga With Jackie. It involves movement and coordination with the breath, activating every muscle group, major organs, and glands. With Hatha Yoga, practitioners can experience improved lung function, reduced fatigue, and deeper breathing.
There are various schools of Hatha Yoga, each with its own approach and focus. Some of these include Iyengar, Ashtanga Vinyasa (power yoga), Sivananda, Viniyoga, Bihar School, Kundalini, and the Yoga inspired by Vanda Scaravelli.
Yoga With Jackie is committed to helping students achieve a state of physical and mental well-being through the practice of yoga.
