Cranleigh House Yoga Classes:
Yoga, if practised regularly can help with physical flexibility and
strength. Most people feel so good after their first class & continue to
feel good, that they want to
come back again. Yoga is mentally uplifting, calming and is very good for
balancing symptoms of stress.

standards, are welcome. Give us a call and we can see if we can tailor
make the class to suit your ability.

Cranleigh House Yoga Teachers:
Katherine Armitage is a Sivananda & Kundalini Yoga trained teacher.
I attended the Sivananda Yoga Centre in Putney, London for many years. I have also been a student of the teachings of Dr George King, Western Master of Yoga, since 1992. I have been teaching Yoga since January 2004. I practice some form of Yoga daily and I teach a range of abilities from beginners to intermediate, from very flexible people to people with physical restrictions, chronic illnesses and elderly people. I love Yoga & its transformational power! I really enjoy working with people and seeing them reaching their full potential. In 2012 I trained as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher in the tradition of Yogi Bhajan. These two types of yoga complement each other really well.

Cranleigh House Visiting Yoga Teachers
I began my serious pursuit of yoga during a particularly tough year of
university. My health was failing and I was suffering from classwork anxiety
and the "I'm almost finished with school, now what do I do with my life?"
depression. Not so unlike most senior students, I suppose. I had taken a
semester of yoga in university and I remembered the light sensation of peace
and safety I'd experienced whislt focused on my mat. I wanted to transform
that elusive feeling into a state of being, so I joined a yoga studio and
invested in some stretchy pants.
I can honestly say that is was yoga that restored my health and peace of mind. I learned to view myself through a new lens - a clear lens without judgement or unrealistic expectations.
After
a year of regular practice, I happily realized that my health was far better
than it had ever been. I decided that I wanted to be able to share this
route to health and peace of mind, so I enrolled in a teacher-training coure
in Spain through froglotusyoga.com. After three and a half weeks of brutally
intensive yoga training, I achieved my 200-hour certificate to teach Yoga
Vinyasa.
I
spent one year teaching privately in Europe and Africa. Upon returning to my
hometown in Colorado, I found work teaching at Colorado Mesa University,
Yoga West Collective, and privately in homes throughout my valley.
Throughout
my yoga career, I hope to help people achieve the skills they need to feel
comfortable in their bodies. To discover the connectiones between breath and
thought; between breath and movement; to develop flexibility, strength and
balance. To eliminate the stress engendered by constantly dwelling on the
future, the stagnancy and regret by constantly dwelling on the past, and
find a means to enjoy the fullness of the present.
Kayla
is a trained Sacred Yoga teacher and loves the power of unity that Yoga brings. Sacred Yoga supports transformation
through the use of positive affirmation.
