Martin Bond
Style
Hatha Yoga
Background
Martin teaches Hatha yoga which via a series of postures, internal dynamics and breathing techniques, encourages a deeper understanding and control of the physical body. This process of enquiry, adjustment and acceptance brings about a spontaneous shift in the way that we think about the body and how we use it. The physical practice, concentration, awareness and graceful expression of yoga posture brings together disparate elements of our being and expresses them harmoniously. This articulation systematically releases layers of tension and generates a calming and uplifting sense of well being. For the beginner, there is a balanced introduction to the benefits of specific yoga techniques and for the more experienced, an anatomical focus to help build on the stunning simplicity of this practice.

Background
Pilates helps develop muscle tone and length with corresponding endurance and can be incorporated into your daily life to make you look, feel, and move better. Whatever your fitness level, Pilates will increase your flexibility level, stamina, and core strength. If you have limited movement from injury or other causes, Pilates works as a form of rehabilitation, further injury prevention, pain management and safe exercise. If you train regularly in a particular sport, Pilates offers a complementary form of cross training and can help enhance performance, mental focus, and quick recovery. Tatiana Thieme has been a certified instructor in Authentic Pilates method since 2002.
