Yoga Teachers
in Chew Magna

I'm Georgie Bassford and I've been teaching yoga here in Bath since 2003. I specialise in pregnancy and postnatal yoga as well as yin and restorative yoga. I love yoga and cooking, walking, hill running, foraging, playing the fiddle, hanging out anywhere on the southwest UK coastline and cold water dips.

Yoga is a way of working with and linking the body, breath, and mind to achieve very positive results. Practiced regularly it can promote total wellbeing. Some think yoga is all about tying oneself into complicated knots and strange positions worthy of a contortionist! It does not have to be that way; in yoga there can be enormous gain, without struggle or pain. The simplest postures practiced with the right kind of attitude can achieve very effective results.

Yoga is a meditation path that requires the aspirant to live a healthy life of virtue, based on philosophical understanding, that leads to spiritual freedom. This is attained by cultivating Sattvaguna (a pure mind) to create a condition where spiritual insight is possible.

Yoga is an ancient tradition from India that has been continually practiced for thousands of years as a pathway for long-term health, wellbeing, and spiritual evolution. Hatha Yoga strengthens and tones the body, increasing flexibility and energy levels, and calms the mind.
