What is Bliss Yoga?

Jessica's Yoga classes are a gentle flowing style of postures (asana).  Each class focus' on the breath where each class spends time on drawing awareness to the breath to calm and nourish the mind and body (Pranayama).  After warming and easing the body the class moves into standing, siting and lying postures to stretch and strengthen the body. Each class then closes with a relaxation, this can be meditation, visualisation or a Yogic Sleep (Yoga Nidra).  Each session focus' on the individual where you can work within your own limits and therefore are accessible to all.


"As a busy mum of two Yoga is an integral part of my life and helps me to focus and calm my mind.  I really feel the need to take time out of my busy day, even if it is for 5 minutes to breathe and relax. Especially at the moment with my new baby Yoga Nidra (Yogic sleep/relaxation) before bedtime helps me to recharge by batteries I really feel that Yoga helps me to be a calmer, better person and a better mother" Jessica


Where does the word Yoga come from? Yoga originates from the Sanskrit Yuj or to Yoke meaning Union.  Yoga is union of the mind, body and spirit. Hatha Yoga or the physical form of yoga uses a series of postures that leads to sense of physical and emotional well being. Yoga is much more than postural alignment and breathing.



Yoga is an ancient holistic system that balances energy within our entire being. Yoga is a science not a religion.It is a science for finding out ‘who you are’. The practice of yoga is a process of self discovery, letting go of everything that isn’t you, becoming who you are, not better but realer.Yoga is self healing for the mind and body.



Hatha Yoga brings awareness to the mind and body though attention to breathing, postural alignment, relaxation and meditation.


As a practice Hatha Yoga recognizes individual differences and is very adaptable.  Yoga is suitable for everyone regardless if body type, strength or flexibility.  It can be gentle, relaxing, explorative, dynamic or energising.


“Yoga should be an expression of Joy” BKS Iyengar

What people have said about Bliss Yoga

​

Jess is an incredibly knowledgable and conscious teacher. It is clear she understands the body, biology and environmental impact on people's wellbeing. She invites you to work with your limitations and extend your expectations of what you could achieve.
If you are somebody who has experienced trauma or recovering from PTS/D I would recommend her classes. I encourage my clients to attend her classes once they get to a certain stage in their recovery. I am a psychotherapist.
Don't hesitate. Try a class.

"I have been practising yoga for about 14 years now. Jessica McKenna is one of the best teachers I have had. This is not only because of her warm and positive personality, which informs the way she teaches, but also because her instructions are so clear and helpful. I find the range of poses restorative as well as challenging and also appreciate the space Jessica cultivates for the spiritual elements of yoga. Throughout, reminders of non-competitiveness allow each individual in the class, whatever their experience or the kind of day they've had, to flourish."  Nonnie

​

"I've found that everything about your classes - the ambience, very precise and easy to follow instructions, not only on positions, but also on breathing, together with the relaxation period at the end, always made me feel invigorated and at peace" Jon

Yesterday my wife and I went to London to meet one of my relatives from Canada. I drove to Epping intending to park the car there and take the tube to the centre of London.  Unfortunately it was one of those days when everything goes wrong.  I couldn't park at Epping and we had to drive on to find a station down the line where we could. We lost a lot of time doing so, and we just kept running into more problems.  I was worried about my wife because she has limited mobility and I didn't want to leave her having a long walk anywhere.  She also stresses easily.  By the time we eventually got onto a train after a catalogue of mini disasters, I was the one feeling stressed out and rather shaky. But as I sat on the seat, I thought of my yoga practice.   

Plant feet firmly on the floor under my knees. Sit back squarely in the seat, let it support my spine.  Sit upright, shoulders back, chest open.  Relax, body and mind.  Close eyes, focus on breathing.  Slow it down, steady, full and even breaths.  Feel the prana spreading into all those areas of tension. Stay in the moment and let everything else go.  

Within three stations, about ten minutes, I was able to open my eyes and all the tension and worry had disappeared.  It felt like I had just woken up from a deep, refreshing sleep.  We still had enough time to reach our rendezvous and we went on to have a lovely day.

Yoga pays off.

“I have had operations on my knee, ankle and shoulder as well as having scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and wanted to strengthen my body with low impact.  My friend told me about Jess, a yoga teacher in Norwich and thought I would give it a go.  I have seen Jess for one-to-one sessions and am now able to join her classes.  I have been amazed at how yoga has helped; I have more range in my knee, greater strength in my shoulder and less back pain as well as feeling calmer.  Jess has warmth, a positive energy and it is a pleasure taking yoga with her, thank you”  Becky

 

"I have been attending one of Jessica’s yoga classes for two years starting as a beginner.  It soon became apparent that Jessica is a competent yoga practitioner and very familiar with all aspects of yoga.  She relays her experience well and manages to put the novice at ease as well as allowing the more experienced pupil to realise their full potential.    Jessica is empathetic and creates an atmosphere of calm.  I come away from the class relaxed and invigorated." Peggy

 

"I am really enjoying the variation of the classes and the different pace and posture each week.  The slower pace yesterday was really odd to me, but I think produced really good results.  I felt very clear headed and a pain that I have in my lower back (for years and years) has actually gone...The thought you put into your classes really shines through, and I am enjoying the more meditative qualities that you bring to the practice, that is not my natural state!" Kate

​

I regard yoga as an integral part of my lifestyle.  Since I am now past retirement age I am very conscious of the desire to stay fit and healthy, in both body and mind.  Although I am now quite experienced at yoga I still prefer to attend a more organised session in a neutral venue where I am led and can concentrate without distractions.  I guess I need the discipline.  So your weekly classes are ideal and fit in very well with my personal health regime.  I have been attending your sessions regularly for over 2 years now.  The benefits are quite tangible in my case: I can measure actual improvements in flexibility, which are not supposed to happen to men of my age, and also point to general very good all round health - hopefully not tempting fate by doing so - to which I am sure your sessions contribute.  

The sessions are well structured and allow for both progressions into more advanced postures, movements and breathing techniques where appropriate, but also focussing on keeping the basics correct so the grounding is always solid. I like the variety that you introduce from time to time, and the way you link your practice to your personal philosophy of appreciation of nature and physical and mental well-being.  This gives more dimension to the practice and encourages us all to follow similar thinking.  You have now built up a group of regular attendees and this has created a very friendly and pleasant atmosphere in the sessions. I also like the way you encourage this by having us all join in mantras and recent pair work.  

I find that the classes have become a sort of refreshing staging post in my week.  I always feel better for them and carry the sense of relaxation away with me every time I leave.  In fact it is sometimes a little difficult to come out of the relaxed state and start moving at normal pace.  Your teaching also provides a valuable fall-back when I need to deal with exceptional stresses or challenges.
