GROUP SESSIONS
WEEKLY CLASSES ON OFFER
Mon: 12.00 - 13.15 HATHA YOGA Tues: 8.30 - 9.45am GENTLE YOGA + MEDITATION Wed: 18.30 - 19.45 HATHA YOGA Thurs: 8.30 - 9.45am GENTLE YOGA + MEDITATION Thurs: 14.00 - 15.15 PRANAYAMA + YOGA NIDRA Sat: 10.00 - 11.15 HATHA YOGA with Mantras COST: 1 class £10. Group of 5 sessions for £45 HATHA YOGA: Starting with warm up exercises followed by a selection of asanas (postures) and ending with a 10 mins relaxation. GENTLE YOGA + MEDITATION: We start by freeing pranic blockages from the joints through simple and repetitive exercises, then move to slow stretches with focused breathing in classical asanas to awaken the body and mind. Finishing with 10 mins meditation where the pranic flow is guided in different locations, ending with silence. Suitable for all levels. Very beneficial for early morning stiffness, low energy, and a beautiful way to start the day with increased awareness and a greater ease in the body. PRANAYAMA & YOGA NIDRA: These sessions do not involve the practice of asanas. You will require only a quiet place where you can be alone and in silence. A theme is exposed at the beginning of the class, followed by 20 mins of breathing techniques, then 30 mins of a very deep guided relaxation involving a sankalpa, and 15 mins of silent meditation. It is a profound practice of transformation and can be very beneficial when dealing with anxiety, stress or changes in one's life. Click here for more information about the technique of yoga nidra. |
ONE-TO-ONE SESSIONS
If you would like a more focused teaching, supervision and guidance I suggest that you opt for one-to-one sessions. In this case I will see you alone on the screen and can correct your alignment when necessary. I can also adapt the content of the lesson to your more specific needs. You can choose between Yoga, Pranayama, Yoga Nidra or Meditation or a combination of them as these sessions are only for you.
TIME can be arranged by appointment (day time is preferred). Each lesson last 75 mins. COST: £50 per session or £225 for 5 sessions

IMPORTANT NOTICE: although I will deliver my online teaching in a safe way as I normally do in my normal classes, you are sole responsible for your own body and health as a participant. You will need to have adequate equipment and place to practice at home, use a non-slippery yoga mat, and any blocks / blanket or belts when necessary. If you have any health problem (heart condition, blood pressure, hernia, joints problem, cancer or others) it is important that you let me know in advance. I do not encourage pregnant women to join these classes unless you contact me beforehand. I do not hold any responsibility for you while joining these classes.
This is a review that I received recently by one of my students. I think it is always best to hear what my students are experiencing than trying to explain my work myself. Julia is a talented playwright and stage director, you can check her own website to find out more about what she offers.
'I am a fan of Hatha Yoga and it is hard to find top quality teachers in England. It was my first training in my twenties and I learned the importance of taking time to understand the effect each pose has on my body and how to hold a pose while activating the inner eye.
I have searched endlessly for a teacher who has this kind of practice and was delighted to come across Marianne Simonin by chance in a London gym. Her work was deep but gentle and so intent on connecting to the individual’s personal response to yoga that I wrote to her and wanted to remain in touch.
When I received news of her zoom classes during Covid19, I signed up immediately. This week I enjoyed her online classes and was reminded of her generous and brilliant technique which adapts to each participant rather than presenting the usual formulaic yoga routines I find in London. Oh how boring are those endless downward dog, planks and sun salutations that form so many yoga classes and how different is Marianne's yoga . It is inspiring and fresh. Marianne Simonin's work is unique. It is a profound stretch and relaxation that cheers the corona-blues.
Thank you Marianne for offering your sensitive and informative classes. There is no music, no excess chatting. You cut to the chase and offer top quality work to those who value a deep experience. Your work is enabling, empowering and always safe.
I will be sure to recommend you to all my colleagues. And I look forward to your next class.'
