YOUR HOSTS
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. Currently she is teaching Ashtanga 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. Inspired by the art of hands on assists she is booked in to undertake Thai Yoga Massage Training at Sunshine Yoga Massage Institute and looking to incorporate Thai yoga massage elements in the yoga practice.
ABBY FAYE REDLEY
Abby came to yoga in 2008, initially as just an exercise. She soon discovered the many other benefits and yoga provided the balance she sought whilst living and traveling in Australia. She felt more grounded in challenging times and uplifted by the final relaxation and savasana glow! When she returned to the UK in 2013, she realised her deep desire to share the benefits she had experienced with others. Abby gained her 200 hour RYT qualification with YogaLondon and has been teaching weekly classes, 1:1 sessions, fundraising classes, workshops and retreats since 2015. Abby believes a yoga practice is not just on the mat, as mindful self awareness and exploration can be beneficial in all aspects of daily life. Abby's other passion is living a vegan life which she shares through yoga and plant based events. Abby’s classes are welcoming and fun, inviting you to explore your body and mind through breath, (pranayama), movement, (physical postures - asana) and meditation. Her dancing background is reflected through a flowing style of yoga (vinyasa), finding lightness and meditation though movement. She also incorporates Ashtanga, Yin, Sivananda and Yoga Nidra influences. Abby will supportively and safely guide you through an invigorating practice to a restorative final relaxation. Abby has continued her professional development through attending various workshops and courses, completing Yoga Medicine's 60 hour spine module in May 2018, Rocket Yoga 20 hour CPD workshop in September 2018 and 8 hour CPD training on Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga and Thai massage with Laura Green.
