The original form of Yoga including the practice of postures (asana) and breathing exercises (pranayama), which can help prepare the body for meditation. The pace of the class is quite gentle and will involve holding various positions in stillness for a certain amount of breaths.
Linking the movements with the breath is called Vinyasa. This is one of the most popular styles of yoga and is called ‘flow’ because of the smooth way the poses run together. Attention is focused on alignment and transition between poses, leading to improved stamina and flexibility.
Blending two styles of yoga into one practice. Bringing together the benefits of the passive, restorative poses with the active, more dynamic sequences. By practicing Yin and Yang we are able to create a balance and learn about stillness in movement and the flow within the stillness.
Mobilise and strengthen your hips by working systematically through a group of exercises. Increase your range of motion by exploring gentle and dynamic movements to provide deep release and alleviate any tension and tightness in your body.
A complimentary practice to the more active (Yang) styles of Yoga. Yin consists of a series of more passive poses held for anything up to 10 minutes. Spending a longer amount of time in each posture targets the deep connective tissue and fascia, improving flexibility and circulation, ending with a deep sense of peace and openness.
An all levels practice involving 21 poses to help increase muscle strength by slowly progressing through a range of motion of the joints. Help yourself free the tensions and emotions blocked or hidden between the joints, relieving aches and pain related to the ankles, knees, hips, back, shoulders, wrists, neck and even the fingers and toes. The focus is on warming up the joints to maintain and improve the mobility and range of motion in the joints whilst also integrating a calm and mindful breath.

This is a form of yoga that emphasizes relaxation and rejuvenation. It is a restful practice that involves holding postures for longer durations using props to support you. When the body enters a state of relaxation, the mind can also consciously relax as tension is eased from both body and mind, coupled with deep breathing to calm the nervous system.

Yoga for fascia release offers a holistic approach to improving flexibility, reducing stiffness and enhancing an overall wellbeing. Utilising the pressure of tennis balls, our breath and small somatic movements, we can release tension, encourage relaxation and create more freedom in movement.
A strong practice combining a fixed series of asana, synchronised with the breath. Starting with repetitions of Sun Salutations, followed by a standing and a seated sequence. This style emphasises both the mental and physical flexibility and strength.
Known as a form of subconscious relaxation, Nidra encourages a state of mind between sleep and wakefulness. This 30 minute class involves lying down comfortably, with the use of props in complete stillness whilst listening to the instructor guide you through a meditation. It’s said that half an hour of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to four hours of deep sleep!
Meditation is a state of mind, a practice to enter a highly conscious state where spiritual growth and awareness can begin. Traditionally practiced seated, the aim is to bring the body and the mind to the same place at the same time. Focussing attention on the physical, mental and energetic experience though breath work, voice activation, guided practice and silence.
A fantastic class for people of all fitness levels based on Joseph Pilates six principles of exercise: Breathing, Centering, Concentration, Control, Flow and Precision. Using correct form and alignment to build physical and mental strength, this is a truly holistic approach to exercise and movement.
