Yoga in Oxford
'Yoga is your direct participation in the extreme intelligence of life.'*
Welcome and thank you so much for visiting my website! I am Joanna Jeczalik and I have been practising and studying yoga for over 16 years.
I trained as a yoga teacher at the Life Centre in London, and have the Life Centre Diploma and the British Wheel of Yoga's teaching qualification. I am now a teaching member of the British Wheel of Yoga and live and teach yoga in Oxford.
The benefits of yoga are widely known and appreciated in the West. A yoga practice brings suppleness and energy to the body, and peace and relaxation to the mind. Both the practice of yoga and its philosophy offer an effective antidote to the many stresses of life today.
A regular yoga practice has many benefits for the mind and body, and for the way these two aspects are so deeply interconnected. Becoming aware of your breathing, which draws your mind to the present moment, brings a greater awareness of the constant pulsation and creativity of life; a sense of peace which is vibrant with life energy.
I teach traditional hatha yoga and so I try to transmit some of the philosophy of yoga in my classes wherever it might be relevant or useful. This 4,000 year- old tradition has so much to offer in the 21st century.
If you would like more information about my classes or have any questions, please click on the email link at the bottom left of this page. I will always respond the same day if I can. Times and dates of classes can be found in the
schedule.
Namaste to my much loved and valued students, and to all those I have yet to meet! The new year is a wonderful time to take up yoga or to resume your practice. Get ready to start the new year with energy and vitality and to ride the wave of your breath! I look forward to seeing you soon.
OM SHANTI. PEACE.
Joanna
