Winter is a time of rest and recovery. Nature is at sleep and this is a perfect time for rest, reflection, restoring our strength as well as diving deep to discover our purpose and direction for the upcoming year.
Join Jennifer Kesik for a day of relaxation and revitalisation on all levels. Warm your mind, body and soul! Create a space for you to step away from the busyness and demands of day to day life and leave behind the constant heightened mode which consumes us physically and mentally. The day will allow time to come back and connect to yourself and most importantly embrace new energy so that you enter a new year full of life, clarity and inspiration.

About your host - Jennifer Kesik
Jenny's yoga journey began back in 2009 as a cure to the back pain caused by scoliosis which she developed while competing as a professional windsurfer. Jenny was amazed how positively her body responded to yoga and what started with simple stretching quickly turned into a regular practice. After 8 years of regular practice in 2016 Jenny traveled to India and completed a 200h yoga intensive Ashtanga/Vinyasa teacher training at Sampoorna Yoga Institute in India. Following completing her teachers' training course she went on and explored Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore where she studied under Ajay Kumar at his Shala Shalam 8 for 3 months.
Practice in Mysore has certainly influenced Jenny's teaching. What initially started purely as a physical practice took Jennifer on spiritual journey and inner exploration. Currently Jennifer teaches predominantly dynamic vinyasa and ashtanga classes in Bournemouth, UK where she has lived for the last 13 years. She organises workshops and since 2017 runs yoga retreat company All Flow Yoga. During winter months she teaches at the 200HR TTC at Sampoorna Yoga.
She applies tristiana: Ujjayi breath (victorious breath), the bandhas (energy locks), and drsti (yogic gaze) in all her classes as a foundation of the practice. She often says "The only thing that distinguishes yoga practice from any other activity or gymnastics is the connection of movement with the break, making this practice mindful. Being here and now. Moving meditation". She believes that hand on adjustments in the practice can help students experience the benefits of postures in more depth and bring balance and steadiness to the body therefore she is keen to offer many adjusts and assists in her classes.
