Yoga is about Union not Levels.

A question I get asked a lot when people enquire about our holidays is "what level of practice do I cater for"? 
As most of you know I am the resident Yoga guide here at Yoga Holidays Turkey and my classes are for everyone.
From brand new to Yoga to the more experienced. For me Yoga is not about levels, so when I am asked the question my answer is that the Yoga I guide is a peoples Yoga. I encourage everyone in my classes to explore and deepen their own yoga practice.
And each person so different from the next.
We offer 8 classes here and the first class of the week I encourage people to surrender. We spend time tuning into our lovely breath, connecting and warming up the body and flowing through a vinyasa slow sequence to prepare the perfect foundation for the rest of the classes over the week. Once we have flowed together for the first time I can then see and feel what variations to offer to each person to suit each and everyone in my class.
I encourage people to ask questions and offer myself as a guide for everyone to indulge in what feels good in there body.
Yoga means 'Union' and when we all flow with what we have, letting our breath guide us then Union is vibrant in each and everyone in the my class.
I have guided people with injuries from a broken ankle, years of lower back pain, dyspraxia, frozen shoulder, knee injuries, Hyperextension elbows and some totally burnt out and each have indulged in a wonderful practice over the week to even forget or become surprised with how deep they took their own Yoga practice.
I have a dedicated practice and live a yogic life style and sharing all that I have learnt along the path with so many of you is a true gift.
I welcome you all and can’t wait to flow with you in the very near future.
