Our Yoga Classes
A regular Yoga practice will help to improve strength and flexibility in the body and calmness and composure in the mind.
Yoga is an ancient tradition that is far more than an exercise system. It involves not only movement, but also Breathing Techniques, Meditation and Philosophy. It touches you at every level, physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga will help you to manage your life with a little more calmness, composure and Equanimity. A regular Yoga practice will help to build strength and flexibility within the body and provide a sense of stillness within the mind.

Hatha Yoga
This is the foundation for most Western Yoga practices, using yoga postures ( Asana ) and breathing practices ( Pranayama ) to promote a sense of alignment and balance to the mind and body. This is a slower paced class and will work on a particular theme or body area and will work on building strength and flexibility in the body. The class will start with a short meditation to ground and centre, followed by focused movement with the breath with more static Yoga postures, and will end with breath work and a relaxation.
Level 1 – The class is open to all levels and suitable for beginners. Yoga Postures can be adapted to suit individual needs.
Vinyasa Flow Yoga
Vinyasa simply means to link together. In this class we dance through different Yoga postures linking them with breath to create a flowing sequence. The style is more dynamic with constant movement, finding occasional stillness in the flow to ground the body and mind. This style of Yoga is particularly good for people who experience stiffness in their bodies from sedentary jobs, as it helps to release the Fascia tissue more than static Yoga postures.
Level 1 – Suitable for all levels and beginners who are able to move from the ground to standing with ease.
Level 2 – A slightly more challenging class moving at a faster pace, with some experience of basic yoga postures and reasonable fitness.
Power Yoga
A stronger and dynamic class for those who like a challenge and want to move at a faster pace. This class is great for building strength and endurance.
Level 2 – Not suitable for beginners. Some Yoga experience is preferred although not essential if you have a reasonable level of fitness.
