Divya on her Yoga Teaching:
“I teach in a way so that yoga’s physical, philosophical and spiritual benefits
can be felt as we practice. I tend to offer quieter, restorative practices, to balance out the heightened, frantic energy of the modern world.”
Divya on her Mindfulness Offering:
“Mindfulness, for me, is everything: a way of thinking, feeling, being and existing in the world. There is never not a moment when dropping into mindfulness cannot benefit the heart, the mind and restore some sense of peace inside, even in really difficult situations.
I offer Mindfulness so that people can experience this for themselves.”
Some more on Divya’s background:
Her own teacher training spans the strong discipline of classical Indian yoga and meditation traditions, as well as the evolved approaches to the body and mind in the West.
A former newspaper journalist, and with a Masters in English Literature from Cambridge University, Divya has a continued deep passion for writing and using words like we use the breath in yoga: as a way to connect deeply.
“I teach with the bigger picture in mind while also addressing individual need:
we’re doing Yoga so that we can find and experience an optimal state of being, we practice mindfulness so we can cope in an ever changing world, live and connect with others in a natural, non-stressful and fulfilling way, and feel a peace within us that feels like home.”
