Zephyr Wildman

Integrated Vinyasa + Meditation

I have been a senior yoga teacher in London since 2002, offering practices rooted in yoga philosophy and informed by anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. My breath-centric Vinyasa Yoga classes integrate dynamic sequencing, creative movement and alignment-focused techniques to foster a holistic connection between body, mind and spirit.

 

A dedicated student and teacher, I weave yogic philosophy into my teachings, inspiring students to explore the profound connection between their physical practice and inner transformation. My expertise in anatomy and physiology, supported by a background in Deep Tissue Massage Therapy, allows nme to guide practitioners safely through challenges such as chronic pain, injuries and imbalances. With compassion and insight, I create space for all to grow, explore and thrive.

Class Descriptions

Vinyasa

The foundation of Zephyr’s teaching is built upon an extensive study of Yoga anatomy and physiology to Asana, laying the groundwork for students to be lead into a contemplative path inwards. This approach to Vinyasa provides a wholistic and practical weaving of Asana, Pranayama, Mudras, Kriyas, Mantras and more, to deepen the student’s experience in finding their own path to the state of Yoga. Her Integrated Vinyasa classes are inspired by Yoga Philosophy, Psychology and creative sequencing.

 

The principles of Sthira/Stability and Sukham/Ease, inspire the physical practice, emphasising strength over flexibility or gymnastic feats.

 

No music is usually played, so that the student can practice the more subtle aspects of practice.

 

Suitable for all levels and abilities who can do Vinyasa. There are modifications, props and minimal adjustments offered.

Meditation

Zephyr uses different Meditation and Pranayama techniques from Hatha Yoga, Tantra Yoga, Mindfulness and Insight Meditation practices. Weaving Yogic Philosophy and Psychology to provide more meaning and purpose to practice.

 

Meditation is not absence of thought, but rather a presence of awareness. Guided meditation is one way to meditate which trains the mind to focus and be lead deeper in the ability to attain a state of consciousness that is totally different from the normal waking state.

 

It is the experience of inner stillness, the mind is silent and is no longer distracted by you. You are free, joyous to be fully awake and present in the here and now, profoundly calm and still.

 

No music is played in this class.

 

Suitable for all levels.

Testimonials

Laura

“I couldn’t recommend Zephyr enough! As a journalist I was drawn to her teachings a few years ago when I was finding the news very disheartening and her classes earned a special place in my heart. The philosophy side is as special as the asana practice and she obviously puts so much thought into each class and this shines through. She is so caring and also so real; for me yoga is about unity and she exemplifies this through her down to earth approach and relatability yet all mixed with the most amazing connection to higher self, it’s quite a gift! Every class I go to of hers I come out feeling not just like I’ve worked out, but I’ve worked on myself. I’ve tried a lot of teachers in London and she remains one of my absolute favourites. Gratitude always.”

Patricia

“I’ve been practicing yoga for eight and a half years and have had a regular practice in three different countries, but Zephyr’s classes are truly my favorite of all the ones I’ve ever taken. I’ve experienced her classes only since the pandemic — in other words, only via Zoom — but Zephyr’s sense of humor, the clarity of her explanations regarding alignment and placement, and her deep, always evident belief in the goodness of yoga come through the ether so vividly. I feel like I’m in the same room with her as I practice. Her yoga classes for me have been such a light in this dark time. And thank you again for the great yoga classes!”

Angie

“Practicing yoga with Zephyr has provided me with a deeper connection to myself and a better understanding of the different aspects of yoga, moving through and beyond asana to connect to my lived experience through breath, mantra, meditation and reflection. She brings humanity, humour and incredible insight to the way she shares and explains yogic teaching, making it accessible, relevant and easily applied to life. I learn so much every time I am able to take part in her classes as she brings the tools and guidance needed to explore what it means to be human to what she gives her students in her teaching. It’s not only what I have learned from Zephyr to apply to each day, but the impact that this learning has had on my growth and ability to live my life in a much more connected, reflective and compassionate way. I have been moved by what these experiences have brought to my life, my yoga practice and the way I live – learning as I go with so much more access to the ideas I’ve needed to empower and support my development and connection to consciousness. Zephyr has a beautiful approach to her teaching that makes it a joy to be her student, tapping into more depth and meaning than I have ever experienced before in my yoga practice.”
