Yoga Ab Alto- Yoga with a LIVE STRING QUARTET
Details
London's original yoga and string quartet experience is back!
Yoga with music by a live string quartet at The Old Church.
The Old Church, London's only surviving Elizabethan church, is a unique place to practise yoga.
Yoga with Ann, whilst Estilo String Quartet play, is unmissable.
Ann Pidcock and Estilo String Quartet have created a unique and life affirming vinyasa yoga experience.
Yoga Ab Alto Acknowledges the benefits that music can bring to movement. They develop the relationship between sound, breath and movement by incorporating yoga teaching with live music from a string quartet performing an eclectic set of classical and chamber-pop tracks to inspire and invigorate.
Previous sessions have featured music by Arvo Pärt, JS Bach and arrangements of tracks from artists including Beyoncé, Nick Cave and Sigur Rós.
Yoga Ab Alto is open to yoga lovers of all abilities and experience. After the 90 minute yoga event draws to a close with a long Savasana, we invite you to share a cup of hot chocolate with us, before making your way outside to continue your day. Perhaps a walk around Clissold Park, or a late lunch at one of Stokey's many restaurants.
Ann was first introduced to Yoga whilst training as a dancer at London Contemporary Dance School. The instant improvement she experienced in strength and flexibility made her curious to discover more about Yoga and its extensive benefits.
She has been teaching a soft style of Vinyasa Flow across London for the past 15 years at Studios including The Life Centre, TripSpace and East of Eden. Her interest in how the body moves is largely influenced by her work in dance, whereas the breathing, asana and esoteric elements stem from her education in Yoga and it’s rich history of styles and ideas. Ann sequences in a way that is thoughtful, creative and layered.
Progressively building warmth in the body so that it can unfold into the postures over the duration of the class, always offering options for various levels of practitioner.
Estilo String Quartet are based in East London and are reknowned for their eclectic repertoire, especially their recordings and concerts of contemporary pop arrangements by Michelle Taylor-Cohen. Reinterpertations of modern tracks such as Fairytale of New York, Pompeii, Tenerife Sea and Game of Thrones all achieved great success in the iTunes classical charts and playlists.
