Fluid Hatha Yoga with Nazanin Azimian

Fluid Hatha Yoga with Nazanin Azimian Introductory class £5 to new clients. Loyalty cards available – 6 classes for £50

Nazanin’s dedication to yoga and yoga therapy is the result of her own healing journey through yoga. She took her first yoga class whilst living in LA in the 90’s when she was looking for a way to reduce her own spiralling anxiety. She was soon hooked on this powerful mind-body practice, which has become an integral part of her life and continues to calm both her body and her mind. She often describes yoga as having a mental shower from the inside out.

Nazanin’s ‘Fluid Hatha Yoga’ classes will be based on the vinyasa principles of synchronisation of the breath and movement. This will involve weaving together an energetic flowing sequence of postures linked together with the breath. This type of power yoga strengthens the body, increases stamina and balances the mind. Each class will be tailored according to her clients’ needs and experience.

She is qualified to teach children, as well as adults. She has also completed yet another teacher's training where she intends to work with people to alleviate stress, anxiety, depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), by integrating the benefits of yoga postures, breath practices, mindfulness techniques and psychotherapeutic theories.
