FAQ's
The path of Yoga is a journey of self-discovery for those that wish to explore and improve their physical and mental health through movement, postures, breathwork, relaxation and meditation.
Our Yoga classes based in Sheffield and online offer a simple and safe way to go about this. By progressing through the various aspects of a Yoga practice, the practitioner will begin to notice improvements in health, both physically and mentally, and upon deeper enquiry can begin to connect with the essential essence of who they are.
We begin by noticing the body and the breath as they are in this moment. By simply being aware, we can assess actually how we feel right here and now, and then begin to respond to that. Noticing, in more and more detail the bodily sensations, we begin to recognise and unlock habits of tension that are usually, unconsciously held within.
As body awareness improves, so does the awareness of the breath. A pattern of breathing cannot be imposed on a person. Rather, the person learns to allow the breath respond naturally. This is a refreshing way to bring back life to the whole being! Prana, or the life force is able to flow!
As the body and breath unite, the mind gradually becomes more stable and present. A present mind is able to think more clearly, and discern between actions that are beneficial and non beneficial. The obstacles to clear perception begin to fade. This is felt and experienced as peacefulness within.
The aim of Sun Moon Yoga is to provide professional, safe and friendly Yoga and Somatics classes, where each individual encouraged to find the right level of practice that promotes steadiness and ease in their body and breath.
We encourage self-awareness of body, breath and mind, to bring back balance at these levels, leading to a deeper understanding of who we are.
Eric teaches classes in term blocks that cover a different theme of Yoga each term.
Classes are unhurried and explore in detail the theme chosen. Themes cover all aspects of Yoga, from the physical to spiritual, and everything in between.
Movements are slowed down to encourage the student to ‘feel’ from the inside what is going on in their body and breath during the class.
Students are encouraged to go at the pace that suits themselves, with alternatives and adaptations given if needed.
Classes will challenge but will also give the student a change to ‘listen’ to their bodies, and to recognise and not push beyond our actual capabilities.
