with Fiona Lundie
It’s the same when building a yoga practice – your foundations have to be strong. No matter how long you have been practicing there is always something new to learn – that’s why yoga teachers consider themselves forever students.
Stripping everything down to the foundations and building upwards is a wonderful way to take a fresh look at something you already know and sometimes remember little bits we may have forgotten! Our Foundations class does just that. If you come with an open mind you will always leave with more knowledge than when you arrived.
I have been loving your classes – your instructions are so clear and help me understand why we are doing certain movements and what is happening in the body. I feel that they are definitely helping me to build firmer foundations for the future, and I intend to keep on coming! – Jo
People who attend this class are an eclectic bunch as we have beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Your teacher Fiona teaches in a way that makes this class accessible for all. Whether you are just starting out on your yoga journey and have only attended a handful of beginners classes, or have been practicing for years, Fiona is wonderful at explaining the technicalities of poses that aren’t always covered in faster paced vinyasa classes.
Fiona is also a chartered Physiotherapist who works for the GB downhill mountain bike squad so you are in extremely capable hands – as you can imagine, she’s used to dealing with injuries!
Remember, the foundations of a strong yoga practice are built over time. It’s important to approach your practice with patience, consistency, and an open mind, allowing the benefits of yoga to unfold naturally.
This class is also suitable for students who are returning to their yoga practice after a break and want to re-build confidence.
Foundations Yoga is the perfect class for all levels from beginner up. It is for anyone wanting to build their experience in the foundations of yoga asana practice. It aims to increase your confidence in correct positioning and the specific use of props to help align you more effectively in each posture. It will help you progress safely into more advanced levels of asana practice, vinyasa flow sequences & develop a stronger home practice.
Suitable for all levels
I thought I knew my body and how well, or not, but Fi was able to convey in simple terms how to achieve what I thought would be impossible for me.
Fiona (Fi) is a tremendous trio of Yoga Teacher, Chartered Physiotherapist and Specialist Soft Tissue Therapist.
She first started practising as a student of yoga 20 years ago in Australia while travelling.
In 1993 Fi qualified from Bath School of Physiotherapy and after gaining post-graduate experience, spent 12 years living and working in New Zealand. Fi received her training in Soft Tissue, Massage and Sports Therapy in Christchurch in 2006. During her time in NZ she badly injured her back and pretty much had to learn to walk again.
On returning to the UK in 2015, she worked as a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and Sports Massage Therapist and a friend advised her to ‘check out Lime House Yoga’. Three years later Fi managed to make it to studio, knocked on the door, was greeted by Jock and felt like she was meeting an old friend. She practiced as student with Jock for a year, before completing her 300hr Yoga Teacher Training here at Lime House in 2019. Her knowledge of anatomy and physiology now plays a strong part in her yoga teachings.
Fi says, ‘I’ve come a long way in a few years under the guidance of amazing teachers and the nurturing environment which is LHY. My favourite practice is morphing and evolving – my basis/foundation in Iyengar is invaluable for rehab and physio. Starting Ashtanga with Jock built up my strength, so while Iyengar makes you stable, controlled, and aligned, the combination of both gives the best of all worlds.
Yoga is infinite. Physio is the centre of my wheel and now yoga surrounds it, keeping everything oiled, keeping it turning.’
