Yoga with Jilly Shipway This web site will tell you more about my yoga classes and workshops in the Shrewsbury area. I am an experienced and qualified British Wheel of Yoga teacher. I have a passion for yoga and I love getting other people enthused about yoga through my teaching. I have found yoga a great help in my own life, and my students often share with me how yoga has helped them too. Life is full of ups and downs and yoga gives us a toolbox to help us cope better with those bumps in the road.
You will find my classes a good way of regaining and maintaining suppleness, flexibilty, and strength. I place a lot of emphasis on developing core strength. The atmosphere of the class is very friendly; students are encouraged to work at a level that is right for them, and to adapt poses where necessary. I do not include yoga poses that will stress or damage the body. Students will learn how to use the breath to support the poses, and in this way the class often has a meditative feel. A relaxation at the end of the class will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. Mindfulness Yoga Saturday

Sthira-sukham asanam
The posture should be steady and comfortable. Patanjali Yoga Sutra 2:46 “What Patanjali teaches about “comfortable” has relevance to the practice of yoga poses, which are not different from the practice of life itself. Learning to live in a way that is comfortable or agreeable, to others and to the earth is crucial. It begins when you can bring a sense of the comfortable to your inner life, to your thoughts, and to how you frame your reality by how you speak to yourself.” Judith Lasater “Living Your Yoga” |
