Ashtanga

Brought to the modern world by Pattabhi Jois. This method focuses on synchronizing the breath with a series of postures. It’s dynamic and physically demanding.  Ashtanga means eight limbed and refers to the eight-fold path of yoga as outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. To perform the asana correctly in Ashtanga yoga one must incorporate the use of vinyasa.  Vinyasa means breathing and movement system.  For each breath there is one movement.  The synchronised breathing and movement helps improved blood circulation and joint pain and removes toxins and disease from the internal organs.  Through the use of vinyasa the body becomes healthy, light and strong.

Beginners Yoga

The Beginners classes follow a 4-week program with a different focus every week. Each class is designed on breaking down postures, focused on developing clear and safe alignment in foundational poses. The Beginners class provides the structure to help students to be able to eventually enter into any class intelligibility and safely.
The 4-week cycle is running continually so it doesn’t matter if you miss a week.

Relax and Restore

Our restorative class does exactly what it says time to relax and restore. By slowing down and enjoying a class taught in a warm room, candle-lit studio and gentle music, and suitable for students of all levels.
Most forms of yoga today are dynamic, active practices designed to work only half the body, the muscular half; the “yang” tissues. Yin yoga allows us to work the other half; the “yin” tissues of our ligaments, joints, deep fascial networks and even our bones.
Yin yoga practice is designed to restore our nervous system and help release deeply held tensions from body and mind.

This class is based on mainly seated or lying down poses and we encourage the use of props to support you in postures. This is to allow for as little effort as possible while holding poses, in which we can remain anywhere from two to five minutes. A class that reminds us where we need to find the time to be still, unwind and be gentle with ourselves.

Stretch and Flow

Sunday Rest  

Traditional a Sunday is known for a day of rest but in the modern world that can be a difficult thing to do. This class is based around two styles of Restorative and Yin. A fusion where the first half is stretching and stressing (as finding the edge) the fascia and ligaments and holding postures between two to five minutes. Then the last part is possibly using the support of blocks or bolsters to help let go.  Learn to let go and breathe, just being in the moment, discovering the stillness and grounding of the practice taking it away and having a relaxed chilled Sunday. Open for all levels where having the mindset where we can still be challenged when we allow the body to release and let go.
