  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.



Hi Yogi!

 I took my first rocket yoga class in London in 2017 and was instantly hooked-- on the physical practice, the warm community, and the relevance of yoga philosophy to modern life. I am constantly learning from yoga and I hope to share the best bits with you.

My classes are all open level and I like to integrate the breath and movement techniques of yoga and dance, with flows that offer a playful challenge to the body and mind. 

I am a former dancer trained in Ballet (Boston Ballet, Massachusetts, USA), Chinese classical and folk dance, and the Horton and Graham styles of modern dance (The Ailey School, New York, USA). In yoga I am trained in Tripsichore and am certified with over 600 hours RYT in Ashtanga, Vinyasa Yoga, Rocket, and Mandala (The Yoga People, London, UK). 

You can find me in How to Win at Yoga by Marcus Veda & Hannah Whittingham (2019), and Yoga for Inflexible People by Max & Liz Lowenstein (2020).

TESTIMONIALS

Wen's yoga classes are always fun and have a different focus each week. There is always an alternative for different abilities.
Wen is such a lovely, friendly and encouraging yoga tutor and I look forward to the weekly Zoom yoga sessions. Wen is by far the best yoga teacher I have found. 
I've also taken part in the excellent in-person classes and yoga retreats when she was in Wales 2021/2022.

L. Hole, Creative Designer & Maker

I am ever so grateful to have met Wen. By far one of the best yoga teachers. Her classes are absolutely brilliant and never fail to make me feel good, emotionally and physically. I look forward to Wen's classes every week and have improved my confidence in yoga immensely. Her sessions are tailored to any level, making it thoroughly enjoyable at your own flow pace! ...I highly recommend her to friends and colleagues whenever the opportunity arises.
V. B-Moghim, Pharmacy Student

Each of Wen's classes start with a warm welcome and a smile. Whether it's a live or virtual class, Wen creates an inclusive space for both beginners and advanced practitioners. You don't feel intimidated by others or judged for your lack of strength...and you feel the personal attention from the teacher despite being in a group.
Wen's gentle voice is calm, clear, and paced well for guiding you through the poses and sequences. At the end of each class, you leave with a quiet bow of gratitude, revitalised, and a sense of stillness. Highly recommend Wen's classes, retreats, and workshops.

K. Wong, Founder / Brand Strategist

Wen has a beautiful way of combining effort and ease in her classes. Everything is both challenging and possible when on the mat with her. She is encouraging and creative with her flows and her smile makes even the longest of holds a joy to execute.

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.

Join us for our final Tea & Yoga workshop, where we begin with an invigorating tea meditation to help awaken the body and mind, move into a vinyasa flow, and end with a calming tea meditation.

@yogetoverit (Wen) will lead the yoga session, which will start with simple, gentle movements and build up to a smooth and energising yoga flow. We will finish with a savasana to return to resting state.

be-oom (Sooji) will lead the tea meditation, guiding and setting your breath and energy level before and after the yoga flow. During the session, you will be drinking be-oom teas, sourced directly from small farms in Korea.

We will be providing a cotton tea mat and tea sampler for you to take home.

Sooji is the owner of London’s only Korean tea house be-oom, whose mission is to help you find a place within the mind to empty and fill, all while emptying a cup of tea.

Sue and I met during our yoga teacher training in London and since she moved to Wales and established a yoga studio there, Ty Yoga, we have run an annual day retreat together that celebrates our mutual love of yoga and good food, in a very special setting. Sue has a background in meditation and mindfulness in addition to teaching dynamic and gentle vinyasa yoga styles.

This day retreat takes place indoors at the Stables at Penpont, a historic estate built in 1666 and nestled in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Bring a yoga mat and a swimsuit/towel if you'd like to go for a cold dip in the river! (Showers on-site)


Penpont is most easily accessed by car but if you are traveling from London or any other major city, take the train to Abergavenny and a 40-minute cab ride (~£40 to Penpont). 

Tentative programme for the day:

11:20 Tea 
12:00 Yoga with Wen

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)
Friday, April 9, 12:30-12:55 (Third eye, indigo)
Monday, April 12, 12:30-12:55 (Throat, blue)
Friday, April 16, 12:30-12:55 (Heart, green)
Monday, April 19, 12:30-12:55 (Solar plexus, yellow)
Friday, April 23, 12:30-12:55 (Sacrum, orange)
Sunday, April 25, 12:30-12:55 (Root, red)

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!
