Welcome to Wilsana Yoga
We believe true health and wellness is far beyond the physical. As modern life becomes increasingly busy we must begin to look internally to create a life of lasting happiness and freedom. Yoga gifts us the opportunity to reconnect, and through self-enquiry gain deeper understanding. This increased awareness allows us to better respond to the changes and challenges internally and in the environment that surrounds us.What is Yoga?
The word yoga is derived from the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit and translates as 'yoke' or 'union'. The healing system is based on integration of the mind, body and spirit. Yoga combines physical postures (asana), breathing techniques (pranayama), philosophy and relaxation. It is an experiential practice that encourages self enqiry. Continued practice of yoga will lead you toward a greater sense of peace and increased overall well-being.Begin your Yoga Journey Today!
Yoga helps us create stability and equanimity within the body and develop clarilty and stillness within the mind. This in turn cultivates a stronger sense of self, and brings unity to the mind, body and spirit. We recognise that everyone is different, no two stories are the same. Allow us to support you in a safe, nurturing environment as you explore your personal yoga journey.
- "I connot recommend Kristy and Iyengar Yoga highly enough. There is no practice more skilled in bringing about change to your body, whether it be strength, flexibility, balance or recovering from injuries as I have been. Over a year ago I could not lift my arms above my head or balance on one leg without falling over. After attending Kristy's classes with her depth of knowledge on the body and the adaptation of postures through props to accommodate my ongoing illness with MS, I have not only gained my flexibility and balance back, I'm maintaining a level of fitness I didn't think was possible."
~ Leila ~ - "About 5 years ago I began my yoga journey. I wanted to improve my posture and balance and was overwhelmed by all the different yoga options out there. I didn’t know where to start. I was nervous about attending a yoga class due to having no useable vision and being unfamiliar with the yoga poses and terminology.Kristy was recommended to me and we started a series of Individual Yoga Therapy Sessions. Kristy explained the Iyengar Yoga teaching methods why they use props and adjustments and Sanskrit. This form of yoga connected with me.Kristy is a very knowledgeable yoga teacher with a kind and positive outlook. She listens and suggests variations using props if I found some poses difficult to manage.My yoga practice has progressed and my confidence has grown with Kristy’s support and guidance. She encourages me to challenge myself. My knowledge of Sanskrit has grown. I now attend yoga classes regularly." ~ Sue ~
- "It has been my pleasure to know Kristy for many years, right back to her early years of becoming and Iyengar Yoga teacher. During that time, it has been wonderful to see her skills and knowledge grow, to become the highly experienced and intuitive teacher that she is today. Her gentle, encouraging style caters for each member in the class, not only challenging everyone to thier own level of experience, but also caring for any injuries or restrictions you may have. Coming to yoga is such an integral part of my life, to keep moving and feel capable of coping with all of life's challenges and changes. I couldn't recommend Kristy and her yoga classes more highly, for anyone looking to find the secret to health and happiness." ~ Gill~
