What is Curvy Asanas?
Hello, I'm Chaanah, I'm based in the UK and teach in and around Northamptonshire and surrounding areas. I teach class, small/ large groups/ communities, 1:1's and online. I teach all levels mainly Vinyasa Flow style and restorative yoga. I also teach Chair yoga, Meditation, Breathwork and SEND yoga to adults with special needs.
I have been practicing yoga for a number of years, its changed my life and given me "a life" after a nasty bike accident. I made the decision to teach yoga as I wanted to make people feel included and show them that there are no boundaries, yoga poses can be modified to suit your body type and that yoga CAN be for EVERY BODY!
Yoga has been a huge help, as it's helped with focusing the mind, reducing stress and anxiety levels as well as other benefits such as flexibility, aiding better sleep and improving my general mental wellbeing.
What to expect from my classes
I'm not hugely flexible in areas of my body, (but my flexibility has improved since doing yoga), and this is something I can help you with too without expectations or judgment
Students have often told me how calming I am to be around, how comfortable I've made them feel in class. This is exactly my mission its to ensure that Curvy Asanas Yoga is completely inclusive of age, gender, size, or levels of ability. Weather you are a beginner, someone that pops back to yoga as and when you can or an advanced student, I will guide you safely through your yoga session, offering plenty of modifications to suit all body types and shapes.
My only request is that you ensure you listen you YOUR body, work within YOUR means and not others around you and you come to class in what every makes you feel comfy and if that's your pj's so be it!! I want you to experience free movement
I offer a range of classes from online, in person and bespoke 1:1's; which comes with an exercise sheet of the poses I had prepared for your 1:1 session to either practice in between our sessions together or to practice in your time.
What is yoga to me?
It's being present in that moment, living the moment as it is, without judgement, it's moving the body in harmony with the breath.
I look forward to welcoming you to class.
