Yoga

Yoga has always brought me back to good health, both mentally and physically.

Breath is the body's life-force, and learning to control the depth, the pace and intake of the breath, brings a quiet stillness to the body and mind, which is so essential in our often fast-paced life.

Why I choose Yoga

In 2019 I had a major heart operation. Very soon afterwards, I restarted my yoga practice, at first with shallow breaths and limited movements, and quickly I saw improvements and gained strength and confidence in my body.

No matter what challenges I face emotionally or physically, my yoga practice brings me to a space of self-focus and detachment from the busy mind, bringing harmony to life.

Coming from a body-building and weight-training background, I am not your typical flexible body type. I know from my personal journey, that anyone whatever age, shape or size can start practicing yoga and quickly feel the benefits.

What my clients say

For over 60 years I have been a professional ice skating instructor of both recreational and competitive figure skaters in figures, freestyle, dance and pairs as well as being a coach of hockey skating skills to individuals and teams, including being the power skating Coach for the Washington Capitals NHL team. I have served many ice arenas as a Skating Director  and in that role I have hired and supervised coaches to instruct beginners to international competitors. In all those years of teaching, few have impressed me so positively as Geraldine Waring. I have not only watched her teach, but have participated in her classes where she demonstrated her superb communication and teaching skills. Those classes varied from  beginners to accomplished and experienced adults.

I very much enjoyed my yoga classes with Geraldine. She was knowledgable, fun and very in tune with her students. I highly recommend her as a yoga instructor and I look forward to attending her classes in the future.

I practiced yoga with Geri for several weeks during parts of April, May and June of 2020 amidst all the turmoil of the world from Covid-19 to the riots in the US. Throughout it all, Geri remained high spirited and focussed on bringing a high level of professionalism to each class while sharing the gentleness of her soul throughout our workouts. I have practiced for several years and found Geri to be sensitive to my personal needs insofar as I have been out of practice for an extended period of time and my ability to transition into poses was anything but smooth and holding them together was equally difficult. Nevertheless she persisted in guiding the small class in a way that catered to everyone's skill level and experience and as the weeks went by I regained much of my strength and balance and continue to improve each week thanks to her approach.  I would practice with Geri anywhere.  Hope you get the opportunity to experience her because she is wonderful.

Where to start

Firstly remember that it's never to late to start!

I decided to study yoga after retiring in 2013 from a fulfilling career of running four women-only gyms, as I thought it would help me find a focus after leaving a busy career.

We often don’t think about our circulation and internal organs, but they benefit tremendously and work so much better with exercise.
I took my Wheel of Yoga Foundation course in Richmond, London and then gained my 200 hour yoga teacher certification in London and in Italy with an Indian scholar and teacher, Neil Kulkarni.

This was in 2014-15 and I have since practiced almost daily, recently teaching in St Lucia throughout lockdown.

I would love to share this beneficial slow-flow style of Hatha Yoga with you.

If you’re a beginner and feel intimidated going to a large studio, I’m available to teach one on one or small introductory ad hoc classes in North London or St Lucia.

Please do get in touch to arrange a date.
