About Marketa's Classes
Marketa is currently teaching at the Dragon School, the extraordinary co-ed and boarding prep school in Oxford for children aged 4 - 13, and Brasenose College, recently voted by Marketa's students as Oxford University's happiest college.
In Marketa’s Hatha yoga classes, you will find your inner strength and calm through gentle stretching and strengthening exercises bringing long lasting transformation.
Her yoga sessions combine a balanced sequence of poses and breathing techniques. You will remain alert of the effects of the pose on your body. Marketa’s classes are structured in such a way to promote flexibility and lightness in your muscles and joints, as well as finding connection to your body and soul. As each pose (asana) is held, within your body you will discover an active process that brings you deeper into the pose and closer to your inner self.
The poses are still, yet internally you are engaging and expanding in all directions, using your breath and consciousness to stay in the realms of ease and effortlessness.
You will notice the effect of yoga on your internal organs, nervous and endocrine system.
With Marketa’s sessions, you will be well equipped for improving your general well-being, balance, and fitness. Holding the poses in a steady, comfortable manner and with regular practice, your ability to stay in a pose will continue to develop, and you will find that your resilience in everyday life will increase too.
