I’ve just created my first ever online course! I’m really excited to offer it to all of the Bristol Yoga Centre students and hope you can get some wonderful benefits from my Vision Yoga method.
As a Yoga Teacher for over 20 years, I’ve worked with people who are registered blind, people who use a wheelchair and people with a great range of physical and mental health issues.
That’s why I developed Vision Yoga, which combines natural vision therapy with somatic movement and yoga. I have found that with the right approach, connection and healing are available to all.
I had severe myopia for 30 years and these are the methods I used to heal my eyesight. In this course, I’ll teach you all of the key techniques of Vision Yoga in easy to follow bite size videos.
Once you’ve learnt the methods, there are audio files you can follow along with so you can extend each practice to suit you.
I hope you enjoy my new course.
We’re starting a new monthly Vision Yoga Course from Sunday 8th March from 11-12:30pm.
This course will help to maintain and improve your eyesight, focus the mind and relax the body. We’ll learn how we feel affects how we see, and in turn, how we see affects our physical and emotional state.
You can book the entire course or do one or more sessions. Suitable for all levels of students including complete beginners. Please book in advance.
We’re super excited to let you know that Naomi, Hana and Phoebe are teaching in the first ever Bristol Yoga Festival this September.
Naomi will teach Vision Yoga, to bring balance and healing to our eyes, mind and body. There will be short talk and easy accessible practice.
Hana is teaching Vinyasa Flow and doing a talk on decolonising yoga through the lens of social justice.
Phoebe will be teaching flow yoga.
Early bird tickets are now on sale and you can also use the discount code: NAOMI10
See you there!!
Yoga in the Dark again!
We’re excited to re-introduce Yoga in the Dark or RNIB (Royal National Institute for the Blind) this Christmas season. It’ll be on Monday 8th December from 7:15 – 8:15pm.
RNIB is a charity that supports people with sight loss, their on-going initiative, ‘In The Dark’, helps to raise awareness of those living with limited vision and raise funds to make every day better.
We can’t believe it’s been 8 years since our last session. It was a sell-out event last time, and we raised lots for their charity. Let’s hope we can do it again!
Suggested donations will be on a sliding scale. It will be available live online as well.
We’ll create a lovely dimly lit studio space. It’s completely optional for you to use eye masks – Please feel free to take them off any time. We want the session to be interesting, fun and enjoyable!
Please book in advance as there are limited spaces in the studio. We have plenty of spots available online!
For those that can’t join the event and simply want to donate or give more. Please visit our JustGiving page.
This event is taught by Naomi Hayama, the owner of Bristol Yoga Centre. She has been teaching yoga for over 20 years, and specialises in Vision Yoga, Mindfulness Meditation and Somatic Movement.
These events are run by Naomi and many of the sessions are available on a donation based basis and/or have low cost options.
She has also written some interesting free to access blog on Vision Yoga. Please feel free to take a look!
Please book in advance
We have lots of great upcoming Autumn offerings:
