What's your favourite yoga pose or style + why?
I love sitting cross-legged, which is known as padmasana or lotus. It's simple but reminds me of my childhood and it's such a comforting pose for me that I find myself sitting in very often. I feel grounded, long in my spine and it instantly signals me to focus on my breathing.

What's your favourite yoga pose or style + why?
My favourite style of yoga is Vinyasa Flow. I love the fluidity of the style and the freedom to be creative with the sequencing. I find it's a style of yoga that's a bit like a dance, seamlessly syncing the breath with movement. My favourite pose - 'Wild Thing' (Camatkarasana)

What's your favourite yoga pose or style + why?
My favourite yoga pose is Urdhva Padmasana - Upward Lotus Pose - I've loved this pose ever since I did it for the first time in an ashtanga class. It's a pose in which the body feels very light but also grounded, almost like you could stay there forever.
My background as a yogi is ashtanga, and I still love it for the consistency and easy to measure progress. In a sense this is why my favourite style is rocket yoga, as it retains those elements of ashtanga but also allows for a more creative and playful side to the practice, as well as making a lot of the poses more accessible to a wider range of practitioners.

I love restorative poses like reclined butterfly. Also, love leg strengthening work in lunge variations. I am led by my intuition what style of yoga I feel I need. I will practice Ashtanga and Flow and equally love Basics and Restore.

I love Ashtanga Yoga because it seems like such a simple practice but it’s not. As a system it’s got many layers; parts of the sequence are really fun, parts are challenging, parts seem simple but there are always ways to explore within that.

Wild thing because I love the grace of falling into it, how open but strong it makes me feel without it being too much. Oh and also twists. I love a twist. Fav style is strong/vinyasa. Mainly vinyasa because I love how it encourages me to tune into myself and get lost in the wave of my own body and breath. I also love the creativity of a vinyasa!

Yoga Teacher
What's your favourite yoga pose or style + why?
My daily / fave go to is any movement from table top position as it eases out the kinks and soothes my nervous system, but I do love a supported Wild Thing / supported side plank because I enjoy shapes that create space through my torso, especially if I've been sat doing admin or painting for hours!

What's your favourite yoga pose or style + why?
My favourite pose changes throughout the year as sometimes my body finds some poses soothing, relaxing comforting but sometimes I am craving a more powerful stronger asana. I am really enjoying wild thing at the moment- it opens the heart space and feels amazing in all it’s glory.
