Title
Hatha Yoga Teacher
Description
Hazel’s Yoga teaching has grown from a love of Yoga, firstly as a teenager & later became vital after developing back pains. She has developed her Yoga professionally with Maarten Vermasse, both Foundation course and the British Wheel of Yoga Teaching Diploma. Since moving to Oxford in January 2004 she has built up classes both in gyms and privately in & around Oxford. She also runs weekend breaks and retreats. Previous locations were in Lanzarote, and Tuscany, Italy & a revisit is planned for 2006.
Hazel has come from a teaching background, having taught Ceramics within Adult Education and privately for 14 years. She ran her own Ceramics business for 10 years, specialising in hand painted bone china and really enjoyed making pieces for special occasions and one off projects. Life brought changes and she moved into administration and office managing for 6 years. Hazel is now working as Yoga teacher and Reiki healer in the Oxford area. A wish for time to paint again, and fire the kiln with commissions, is in the not too distant future. Hazel will be teaching a pottery class for Oxford Adult and Community Learning (ACL) on Monday evenings from 12 September ’05. Please call ACL to book on 0845 351 0646
As a teacher I always remind students to “drop your shoulders, breathe and smile”, the theory being to loosen the tension we habitually hold in our shoulders; breathe and smile because if you are grimacing you won’t be breathing; smiling reminds the body and mind to relax and lengthen into the pose rather than strain or push. Breathing smoothly and evenly allows the mind, body and soul to reconnect.
