My belief is that we should be mindful not just with our mental and emotional state, but also in how we feel physically.

​

For over 25 years I have practised various styles of yoga without having this awareness; pushing myself into shapes my body didn’t like, but ignoring any messages of pain or discomfort and blindly following the traditional teaching techniques that ‘this is the way’.  I believed that this was right because yoga is good for you….right? Subsequently, after many subtle injuries, I began to realise something in my practise didn’t suit me, but yet still continued in this way for several years more! Yoga can be a wonderful addition to your life; not just physically, it benefits mind & soul also, but ultimately your own body’s innate wisdom is the best teacher and so should be listened to carefully!

​

Because of the uniqueness of the human physiology & bone structures, we are all built with slight but nevertheless fundamental differences from our neighbour on the mat or our teachers, so it is relative that one shape; one yoga pose would not necessarily fit all.

​

Sentio yoga will help you to develop a practise suitable to your own individual unique body and the inner intelligence; becoming aware of what feels good and right for you. I chose the name Sentio because of its Latin meaning – ‘I feel, I experience, I sense,’ and I believe this is the most important aspect of any physical activity - “does this feel right for me? For my body?”

​

Listening to what feels good and right for me,  allows for softness, freedom and a good healthy range of movement in the muscles and joints and gives permission for sensible and functional activity.
