Yoga Arts and Crafts

Dear Students, thank you so much for your continued support and your dedication.  Namaste, Sejel " Sejel has a natural talent as a Yoga teacher. Her calming manner and extensive knowledge makes her classes a real pleasure. I come away feeling calm & centered. I can't recommend her enough." L Murray, Yoga with Sejel in Maida Vale and St. John's Wood Sejel's classes strike the perfect balance be tween the mental and physical, the spiritual and the practical, and relaxation and invigoration.

An article written by NM Harmony My childhood and teenage years were very happy. In my adulthood, I suffered from many hardships (stress, anxiety, a stiff body due to long hours and hard work for many years, supporting my own plus my fathers family of 12 for 30 years, bladder cancer and subsequent surgery than went wrong, hypertension for 8 years, blurred vision for about 5 years, a urostomy, and an ileostomy). Despite all this, at 64, I am one of the happiest persons in the world. Partly this is due to my will power. But partly and certainly, it is due to the practice of YOGA over the last 30 years or so.

Article By J Lamb Yoga doesn't present a sufficient challenge for blokes. Well, that’s what I used to think. Then just over a year ago, needing something to chill me out, I went to my first yoga class. An hour and a half later, I came away feeling beautifully relaxed, as if I’d drunk half a bottle of wine. But I’d also stretched parts of my body that hadn’t been stretched since… well, never . This was real exercise after all. And I kept going to weekly classes. Within three or four months people were commenting that I looked taller. All that stretching had improved my posture. I now stood up straight instead of slouching. I also felt more relaxed. On packed tube trains in the middle of July I didn’t get that tight-chested, breathless feeling because yoga helped me breathe correctly. But most of all I felt stronger, fitter. Men feel that yoga doesn’t present a sufficiently macho challenge – it’s for girls. But if you stick with it, the positions become more challenging. The repeti...

Injuries to the body from accidents can take a long time to heal and require a holistic approach to compensate for the shock received to the body. Yoga is a very practical but nurturing solution. Gentle yoga mobility exercises plus relaxation and healing meditation and visualisation can combine to aid the road to recovery. Elkie who was told she would never be able to raise her arm up after an accident that dislocated her shoulder says, "After having had a bad accident...dislocated and fractured my shoulder.....I feel very privileged to have met Sejel who with her expert knowledge and wonderful calm being has helped me mentally and physically. There is no doubt in my mind that Yoga has been very powerful in my complete recovery and I look forward to seeing Yoga Harmony every week!"  Elkie, London
