What to expect | Camilla Morgon Yoga

What to expect in class

Grounding and centering to start

Classes usually start off low to the ground either seated or lying focusing on body sensing/ body scanning and breath awareness or short breathwork practice. This helps to slow down the busy mind, connect with the body and become present.

Warming up

Gently warming up the joints and improving mobility we work on some lying, seated and kneeling postures using a combination of joint rotations (eg. hips, shoulders, wrists), with fluid loosening movements and traditional yoga postures guided by the breath and what feels right for your body. We also work to activate the core and joint stability.

Foundations and Flows

The practice evolves into calmly energising the whole body with some slow flowing sequences such as sun salutations with variations, standing postures such as the 'Warrior' and balance postures such as the 'Tree'. These brings strength, stability, mindful focus and calm energy. Classes vary each week with some postures repeated to gain confidence and familiarity. Options are given throughout and space and time to adjust for your body or if you are working with an injury.

Winding back down and closing

We then wind back down to the floor for more restful and restorative long held postures, a breathing practice accompanied sometimes by hand mudras (energy seals) and chanting. Each class ends with ample time to lye down for a deeply relaxing savasana (corpse pose resting on the back) which may be guided by a yoga nidra practice or body scan.

Gentle yoga to release stress and tension from body and mind

How I teach

Vajrasati Yoga is an exploratory way of practicing yoga influenced by Iyengar yoga and Buddhism.

The foundations in my classes are:

Dharana (Relaxed Focus) – cultivating steady attention by bringing the mind into the present moment.
Breath Awareness – using the breath to support movement, encourage relaxation and regulate the nervous system.
Mindful Movement – moving with awareness rather than rushing, allowing strength, mobility and balance to develop naturally.
Alignment – exploring safe, sustainable movement patterns that support your individual body.
Balance – combining practices that are strengthening and energising with those that are calming and deeply restorative.
Self-awareness – encouraging curiosity, compassion and a deeper connection with yourself through the practice of yoga.
