VINYASA

Vinyasa means to place, in a special way. A single vinyasa can also refer to a sequence of movement that is paired with breath. Vinyasa yoga is therefore a sweeping term that can apply to many yoga practices that involve conscious movement and breath.

ABOUT 

Wen took her first rocket yoga class in London in 2017 and stayed for the warmth of the community and the relevance of yoga philosophy to modern life. 

She is a former dancer trained in Ballet, Chinese classical and folk dance, and the Horton and Graham styles of modern dance. As a yogi, she is trained in Tripsichore and is certified with over 500 hours RYT in Ashtanga, Vinyasa Yoga, Rocket, and Mandala.

She loves integrating the breath and movement techniques of yoga and dance. In her classes she focuses on playful sequencing that brings a healthy challenge to the body and mind.

TESTIMONIALS

Yoga had never taken [this] place in my life before this year and lockdown. [Wen's] class has changed everything [for] me, and helped me so much this year during Covid, physically and psychologically.
Clara Mourey, Banker

I started yoga around five years ago and Wen is by far my favourite yoga instructor. I love her energetic style and flow. Her classes are always inspiring, taking you through the asanas in various stages until you are in the full pose. I did my first ever headstand in one of her Wen's Zoom classes this year, she gave me the confidence to go for it.
​Wen has time for everyone and will help you with any adaptations you may need. She is able to watch your transitions and movement to pinpoint the tiniest of things that make all the difference.
Aisling Foster, Communications Planning Director
​[I am] very fortunate to have an amazing instructor, constantly teaching me and pushing me to improve...[Wen has an] awesome energy and passion for movement and mobility.
Richard Hughes, Cardiff City FC Mobility Coach

​[Wen] is really 'flow' to me: strong, constant, present, dynamic, and light ... I highly recommend learning as much as yoga as possible with Wen. I cannot wait to do another session with her.
Silvia De Michelis, PhD Researcher
Daily Yoga

Establishing a yoga routine can be challenging, but sometimes all it takes is a commitment to a week, or a month of any activity to make it a long-term (and hopefully rewarding) part of your life. Each month we commit to practicing 20 minutes every morning or evening, whether it's a dynamic asana-based session to jumpstart your morning, or a calming, stretch-based class to clear your head and get you ready for a restful sleep at the end of a long day. Join our warm and lovely Daily Yoga family!

YOGA CHAKRAS COURSE

Inspired by the March Daily Yogis!

Chakras are the 7 focal points of meditation in the body. This will be an introduction to the chakras and the meditation, breathing techniques, and movements associated with each. It will be gentle - a relaxing and refreshing pause button for the middle of your day. (This works as a morning course for those across the Atlantic, and an evening course for those in Asia!)

7 classes, one for each chakra, spread over 3 weeks
Online, via Zoom
25 min each, including a brief savasana
£35

Class times listed in BST:

Monday, April 5, 12:30-12:55 (Crown, purple)

Above is a short video of our more dynamic Daily Yoga morning classes from this past March. The 7 chakras are sometimes associated with the colours of the rainbow, so we wore the corresponding colour each day.
Uniforms are optional for this course!

WORKSHOPS

​If you are new to yoga, and even if you have a regular practice, certain movements can be hard to grasp during a short class. Workshops are a great way to understand the mechanics of a movement, learn strength-building exercises and variations, get feedback on your progress, and figure out how to integrate new movements into your practice.

Backbends Workshop
Saturday, 3 April 2021
