Restorative & Chilled Yoga

My Chilled Yoga Journey

I have been practising yoga for 35 years, and my yoga practice has been an integral part of my life, helping me support my body and soul through the many triumphs and challenges met along the way.

I trained with YogaLondon and have been teaching for the last 6 years. My classes are all chilled, gentle and flowing, and I incorporate breathing, meditation and deep relaxation into the practice. I know that yoga is the most amazing tool to ‘still the body, still the mind’, and that within that process there’s a kind of gentle magick, that can also ‘still the spirit’.

I also love that yoga is for all of us. It’s not just for the super-bendy or trendy, and for sure I am neither of those! My teaching is accessible and inclusive, and I support each person as an individual, with Love and respect.

I teach groups, couples and individuals. Classes are held in our beautiful little yoga shala, or on the jetty on the River Thames, near Chertsey, Surrey. It’s a fabulously peaceful setting, ideal for promoting well-being and relaxation.

I keep groups small, with a maximum of 8 people, so that there is plenty of time for me to really support each person. I also offer private sessions if people want me to travel to their own home.

There are also regular half and full-day workshops, when the wonderful world of yoga can be explored in more depth.

Chilled Yoga

Classes are based on Vinyasa flow, with a focus on gentle sequences of poses to increase flexibility and suppleness, ending with savasana/relaxation. All are welcome! If you are wanting to begin incorporating yoga into your life, or you are looking to develop your practice further, and to connect mind, body and spirit, this will sing to you. Saturday am. 9.15-10.30 Monday pm 6.30-7.45 Or contact me to arrange a private lesson

Restorative Yoga

This is the amazing practice of ‘active relaxation’! We spend a lot of time in our modern busy and stressed lives in a state of hyper-vigilism, and can find it so hard to allow the body and mind to settle.

Restorative Yoga gives us the time and gentle space to re-connect and find balance, in a slow sequence of deeply nourishing and nurturing supported poses. There is no stretching or ‘pushing’ the body. Instead, the body is gently put in comfortable positions, with soft and supporting props like cushions, bolsters and blankets, and the attention is gently directed towards the breath. I know it’s right when I hear the ‘Aaaaaah’ as someone sinks into the pose! In this way, the body is able to ‘let go’ of physical tension, and release into the props. It is deeply relaxing, and truly restorative.

If you are wanting to explore how to nourish and nurture your body, mind and spirit, and to learn simple, accessible ways to incorporate this profound experience into your everyday life, then contact me for details about classes and workshops.

“With Love, Light and Respect to my yoga teacher, Holly Warren. She truly teaches from the heart.”

Testimonials

Perfect! I have been doing Restorative Yoga via zoom, with Krista Hughes. I have absolutely loved our sessions. Krista has always explained things so clearly and is so kind and calm. I have always felt so relaxed and Krista as transports me to a calming and restful place from the comfort of my own home. She has also worked with me with fantastic pregnancy yoga positions. I highly recommend!

‘I just wanted to say, thank you so much Krista for the amazing Reiki Level 1 classes. I loved every second and am looking forward to continuing my Reiki journey with you. You made me feel very welcome from the beginning, put my doubts at ease and taught me new techniques that I will use for future Reiki treatments . It was a truly amazing experience, in a beautiful venue, I cannot think of anything that could have made the course better and have already recommended you to friends and family’

"My first Reiki session ever was with Krista, and honestly I was a bit skeptical. What I experienced however, was calmness, clarity, and a general sense of well-being that I had not felt in a long time, this made me a believer in this form of energy healing. Krista has healed not only my physical ailments but also has given me the mental relief and strength to heal. I am a complete convert to the benefits of Reiki and Yoga."

“Krista literally rescued me from anxiety assault! From emergency panic attack recovery, by reconnecting to breathing, and later with Reiki healing and integrated Yogi technique, Krista has blessed me with the mental and spiritual tools to enable me to regain balance in my life.”

"I am so grateful for Krista’s loving presence during the year before mums passing . As mums daughter and one of her carers I greatly appreciated her unwavering support . Her deep listening was invaluable and I knew she was there if ever I needed to talk to someone who understood the journey we were on."

“What better place to step, for a time, out of the busy cacophony of modern demands, than Krista’s tranquil riverside shepherds hut? After each healing visit I leave refreshed and seeing the world more brightly. Thank you!”

"Krista was a wonderful celebrant. She held the service with such warmth, sensitivity and respect. It was great to have someone who knew mum and my family and this definitely added to the overall relaxed atmosphere of the occasion. I feel blessed that our paths have crossed . Krista will always be remembered for having played a calming influence during what was a naturally upsetting time. I would highly recommend her."

‘A perfect calm start to my day. I feel the love & care that Krista puts into the class and I come out feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated.’

“Krista has the rare gift of combining authentic eastern approaches to well-being with a twinkly yet matter of fact sense of humour, highly appropriate to the cynical Brit.”
