TELL ME MORE
Yoga Culture cultivates a community open for every person, everybody, from every culture and every walk of life. We welcome you to practice with us the grounding and wholesome practice that is power yoga…
I am Maricarmen Mitchinson, a PT, 200hr certified yoga teacher, and a lover of all things fitness and wellbeing.
Baptiste Power Yoga brings many styles of Yoga together and focuses on Movement, Meditation, and Inquiry.
Every class, held at Studio 21 in Saltburn, brings together the 5 pillars of Baptiste Yoga to bring you to your true north (the true you).
The 5 pillars are:
Vinyasa, or what you may call flow.
You move to your breath so although this is power yoga you set your own pace, that is why every class is open to every ability.
Heat/ Tapas
The heat is not necessarily the heat in the room but the heat you create. Your tapas is your inner fiery discipline.
Your Drishti/ Gaze
Because where you look you will go.
Uddiyana Bandha
This is your abdominal lock, your core engagement to build a stronger foundation
Ujjayi Breath
You will learn to use your Ujjayi breath, also known as your ocean or victorious breath.
Yoga Culture wants you to come in to your body and create a practice for you, therefore every class is open to every ability and every opportunity…no matter how flexible you are, or how strong you feel.
Our classes will increase your flexibility and make you stronger. We say it is your body, your choice, so you do you. You can challenge yourself when and if it comes up.
The message of Yoga Culture is that Yoga can be for everyone, after all the meaning of Yoga is the coming together, to unite. Although we offer specific beginners classes so i can focus more on you, all abilities are welcome to any class.
At yoga culture we honour the culture of Yoga and every part of what Yoga is about. Alongside our classes we will be bringing you workshops for you to explore how the yogic way of life can be relevant in your life now. I hope that Yoga will enrich your life as it has mine. Keep an eye out for these workshops coming soon.
