Yoga Classes

New this year are Yoga sessions!  These will be held Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 4.15pm to 5.15pm.  

 

These classes are aimed at anybody wanting to stretch their body after a hard day’s training and learn techniques for relaxation of body and mind.

  • Why Yoga at Aikido Summer School?  
    Yoga works on body, mind, and spirit as does Aikido.  The underlying principles are very similar in both arts.

  • I have never done Yoga, is it suitable?  
    Yes, these Yoga classes are aimed at beginners, the exercises are based on the Aikido Yoga exercises.  You will learn some of the anatomy and postures of the movements related to Aikido.

  • What are the benefits doing Yoga at the end of a training day?  
    Stretching muscles after intense Aikido classes removes tension in your body and mind.

  • Who is running the Yoga classes?  
    Gudrun Rieck is the instructor.  She is training as a yoga teacher with British Wheel of Yoga and is a BAF 5th Dan Fukushidoin.
