Welcome

Eva became interested in Yoga as an adult, after years of friends suggesting that she give it a go, and it changed her life. She learnt to slow down, listen to her body, mediate (something she previously thought she could never do) and find joy in movement.

Ahimsa

Ahimsa is a foundational principle of Yoga signifying non-violence toward all beings. It extends beyond causing physical harm to also encompass avoiding causing harm through words and actions. It symbolises love, care and compassion towards all beings. Eva belives that no Yoga practice would be complete without it, and it is the golden rule that extends beyond the studio into all aspects of life. Ahimsa is how Eva chooses to live her life and through chosing this name, Eva pays respect to the origins of Yoga, incorporating its ethical teachings and language into her practice and classes.

Trauma-informed Yoga

Trauma-informed yoga is an inclusive approach to yoga focusing on choice, empowerment, and internal sensation using gentle invitational language and creating a predictable environment to help individuals feel safe in their bodies and reconnect with themselves.

Examples of Trauma informed Yoga include, but are not limited to not giving hands on adjustments unless consent is clearly given, making sure language is invitational, offering variations, and giving choices.

Eva has lived experience with trauma as well as having studied it, Eva has helped consult for the NHS on various matters including Trauma.
