Sweat Shed

General information

There is no script and no template, these sessions are designed to explore more open ideas and approaches to ‘exercise’ and ‘training’.

With heavy influences from MOVNAT, ANIMAL FLOW, YOGA, IDO PORTAL and basic GYMNASTICS style training, these sessions will hopefully make you a much more mindful mover. There will be some flexibility work, there will be some strength work, there will be some sweating but there will always be lot of moving around.

Definition : Guerrilla : A member of a small independent group taking part in irregular fighting, typically against larger regular forces.

This is how I see my approach to incorporating Yoga and other free form styles of exercise into my training schedule. I’m a Guerrilla Yogi! I have no urge to connect to my spirit or look out of my third eye! But I do want to move better and explore new ways to control and work my Body-weight training! So we will be stealing some bits from traditional yoga and some bits from calisthenics and gymnastics training and some more bits from the ever growing movement culture that’s emerging in the fitness world these days and blending it all into a hybrid class. I completed my Yoga Teacher Training with THE FREESTYLE YOGA PROJECT in Tunbridge Wells, their ethos is about a 21st Century Western Approach to Yoga. No set sequences! No Sanskrit! No Meditating!

We will be exploring all types of movement from the more traditional Yoga poses, through to prop aided stretching, to creative warm up drills and games to Locomotion. But the main theme will be around stretching and mobility as you would expect from a ”Yoga” class. Sounds Interesting right? IT IS! COME DOWN!!
