WELCOME TO YOGA WITH DORA
My name is Dora. I am passionate about all things Yoga and Ayurveda.
My life's mission is to introduce these wonderful systems to students, to help them nurture their body, mind and spirit by clearly and compassionately guiding them through a yoga practice that is skillful, intelligent and fun.
What do I offer to achieve this?
Beginners Courses
Have you been thinking about starting up, or restarting, a Yoga practice but don't know where to start? Not too keen to start in a big group with lots of bendy people?
​
Wouldn't it be nice to get all the benefits of stress & pain relief, better sleep, increased balance, flexibility, calmer mind and a lovely community in a small and friendly group with everyone in the same shoes?

I am a firm believer in 'your strongest practice is your regular practice'.
To help you with this I recorded hundreds of practice videos ranging from 1 to 75 minutes to choose from. You only got 1 minute? Choose a single pose or a breathing technique. You have 30 minutes? Time for a Short & Sweet practice. Ready for some quality Yoga time? There are even a few full 75 minutes classes available.
What is Yoga?
Yoga is the union between the Body, the Mind and the Soul.
The connecting element between these three parts of us is the breath.
The best way to describe Yoga in a sentence is as my teacher puts it:
Yoga is more of a WORK IN as opposed to only a WORK OUT.
You got a question about Yoga? Check out the frequently asked Questions and Answers that I have put together like: What to expect in a class? Can you practice with an injury? Is it for your if you are not flexible?
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, often called the sister science of Yoga, is the art of connecting to longevity of life.
The 5 elements of EARTH, WATER, FIRE, AIR & ETHER form the 3 DOSHAs - Vata, Pitta & Kapha.
As we get to understand our personal combination of the elements we learn how to connect our inner and outer worlds together to restore balance in ourselves.
Who am I?
My name is Dora Longman, I am a mother of 3 amazing teenagers and a wife of 1 amazing husband. I am originally from Hungary, from the beautiful city of Budapest, but lived all over the world.
I started my career as an auditor, working for the Big 4, than took a detour to motherhood and finally ended up as a Yoga Teacher.
I consider myself a seeker, a lifelong student.

Students say:
Lisa: 'Practising yoga with Dora has made me a better version of myself, physically, mentally and spiritually :)'
​
Jess: 'Can't wait to get back into yoga on a regular basis! The benefits it gives me is just unreal - thank you for coming into my life Dora.'
Emma: 'So it seems for at least 6 years I’ve been suffering with lower back pain. So bad that I was in pain every morning and it would often make me cry. I finally did something about it this year and started seeing a chiropractor - a costly thing but it seemed to be helping. I also started practicing yoga. But as I have got stronger with the yoga, the pain has gone and the need for the chiropractor has gone with it. Hooray for yoga! Thank you Dora'
We are living longer, yet the quality of our life is decreasing.
Having a regular Yoga practice helps you with just that - improving your quality of life. The way we achieve this is by connecting the physical body, the mind and the breath together to work in harmony.
In the process of training our body to release tension and relax - we become stronger and more flexible. In the process of training our mind to be one pointed and concentrated - we become free and in control of our thoughts. By regulating our breath we become healthy on all levels: physical, emotional and mental.
Because Yoga is a WORK IN as opposed to a WORK OUT I believe the best way to learn is either directly teacher-to-student or in a small group. This enables you to have the individual attention that may not be possible in a bigger class and allows you to build up your confidence to start practicing at home as well as in bigger size classes.
For this reason our maximum class size is 12 students for gentle and beginner classes and 15 students for flow classes.
