Kirsty Norton is a very experienced yoga teacher in London. Her classes are fun, nurturing, strengthening, toning and detoxifying, you’ll walk out feeling renewed. Here are some yoga tips from Kirsty:

Finding your strength
If you are feeling you need to find some inner strength practice standing poses like the Warrior, Triangle, Yogic squats, they help you to find your feet so you can stand strong in the time of change.  They build up your internal heat so when the pose gets strong imagine there’s a fire inside and you are throwing all that ‘rubbish’ onto it.

Headaches
If all that thought and stress is getting to you and giving you headaches then try doing forward bends and reclining asanas like shoulderstand.  They soothe your head and release tension from your neck and jaw.  Also try blowing out through your lips to create a blubbering sound or keep your lips closed and blow into your cheeks, hold for 3 seconds and then release.  Probably not one to do in front of your colleagues but it works so give it a go!

Sometimes you might have a little personal problem or health issue that you need to work on. Friends and doctors can be supportive but sometimes it is better to ask a third person for help. Anoushka is a great person and definitely the right one to talk to. She is a yoga therapist and has a lot of experience in meditation and Reiki. She helped me look at my health issues from a different point of view. I felt totally at ease with her, and of course it is a different experience when somebody is coming to your place rather than going somewhere else. The journey that I took with Anoushka was unforgettable and she is on my speed dial list so that I can call her again in the future. Just visit www.anoushkasyoga.com, and you’ll see.

I have started doing yoga about 6 years ago at the Jivamukti Centre in Munich. Soon I became an yoga addict because I just loved the effect on my body and mind. I feel more balanced and relaxed in my personal life - believe me this has not always been like this. My body looks better too: I do not have any cellulite anymore, my hips look smaller and my posture has improved - and I do not have anymore back pains! I try to do yoga every morning, as it is a refreshing start into a new day. To me it is very important to combine yoga with some cardio workout as well to also push my heart rate.
