Yoga classes & courses

Yoga with attention. Yoga with intention. Yoga with love.

Ucci’s yoga is inspired by nature, by the ebb and flow of waves, the drift of a current, the unfurling of a flower bud, breath on a breeze, and warmth from the sun. Energy in all its forms.

Ucci’s commitment to yoga has fostered a distinctive practice that somehow draws movement out of the body rather than imposing movement on it. Her deep understanding of somatic movement creates a nurturing experience that underpins practice at all levels. Practising with her, you’ll develop a breath-led mindful practice that will leave you feeling both physically spacious and with an open heart and mind.

Ucci’s approach to teaching yoga is entirely inclusive and she can provide alternative suggestions depending on individual need.

Monthly Somatic movements & Restorative Yoga courses

Virtual classes on Zoom

MONDAY

18.30hrs – 19.45hrs (UK time), with recordings available for a month after each class. 

Somatic movements & Restorative Yoga course where you will learn about mindful breathing and use gentle Somatic movements to release tension and prepare both body and mind for deep rest. The Restorative postures are fully supported (using props, such as folded blankets and cushions, etc.) so that you rest, for instance in a back bend or a twist – not stretching or engaging muscle activity. The body and mind “learns” to trust, and can release, relax and let go, and you’ll be able to maintain deeply relaxing postures for longer. 

I hope you can join me in these seriously relaxing but also “body-awareness and educating”, courses!

Preparation for Yoga Classes

To get the most from your Yoga practice…

Before practice:

Leave an interval of at least two hours after eating. Try to empty the bowel and bladder.

For practice:

Wear loose fitting clothes. Remove footwear and jewellery. Bring a non-slip mat for asana-practise and something warm for relaxation (a blanket, extra top, socks etc.) If possible also bring a small cushion or yoga block and a belt to support some postures.

During practice:

Always breathe through the nose unless otherwise instructed. Work with your breath and your body. Remember that Yoga is non-competitive. Listen to your body and be sensitive to your body’s needs. Take responsibility for yourself and if a posture feels wrong for you, release it. You should never feel pain or discomfort in your practice. Before starting advise the instructor of any medical conditions or injuries, past or present. Postures can be modified to enable you to work towards your personal potential. There are certain postures that should be avoided in certain medical conditions – listen to the instructor’s recommendations.

After practice:

Become aware of any changes in your body and breathing pattern. Re-adjust to your surroundings and concentrate on the immediate environment, particularly if you are driving home.
