Jasmin Bahia
I have devoted many years to physical and mental fitness; maintaining a keen interest in sports, I was a qualified aerobics teacher. I participated in various sports over the years, such as hockey, running, kung fu and chi gong, which have brought me to the wonderful path of yoga (1997).
I became hooked and drawn to the peace, focus and energy that yoga brought to my life. I attended many classes and various retreats before studying an intensive yoga course. I travelled to the Himalayas, training under The International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, and became a teacher of Yoga. I am also a qualified and registered British Wheel of Yoga Teacher and a fully qualified Yoga pregnancy teacher.
I have taught numerous types of hatha yoga classes, focusing on suppleness to strength, mind and body awareness, and relaxation techniques, to working with physical ailments and stress-reduction. I offer a mixture of yoga applications to aid with physical, emotional, psychological and stress issues. I have worked within various settings, both with children, adults and older people, offering (private) 1 to 1 and group (public and corporate) classes.
I am a chartered Psychologist and also practice Zen, I do my best to bring along mindfulness and openness to my teachings. Please feel free to contact me if you have further queries. I look forward to hearing from you. Metta Jasmin

FAQ
Can I do Yoga if I am pregnant?
Can I do yoga if I’m pregnant?
Yes, after the first 16 weeks.
All of Bahia Yoga classes can be tailored for pregnant ladies, though please be prepared for modifications to the postures, always remember to work at a pace that suits you. This pace will most likely be different to others in the class, due to the intensity of some of the postures, always listen to your own body and enjoy a more restorative yoga practice during your pregnancy.
Bahia Yoga (classes offered by Jasmin) run specialist pregnancy yoga classes, if you wish to attend this class instead of a general group yoga class, please speak to Jasmin. Pregnant yoginis will be required to fill out a pregnancy registration form (different to the general registration form).
