Yoga blocks

Ashtanga Vinyasa

In this class we work through all of the sun salutations and standing poses, with a few extra balancing poses, following this we move between seated postures and strength building postures for the spine from 2nd series. The inversions and Savasana at the end of practice allow for stillness of body and calmness of mind. Students are guided by the teacher and encouraged to use self expression and modifications as desired. This is a dynamic and energising practice and perfect for releasing tension.

Restorative Yoga

Wind down for a good nights sleep.
Cushions, blankets and candles help get us in the mood for this peaceful class, It is designed around calming breathing techniques, gentle stretches to ease out tension in the body and restorative postures that we settle into. The main focus is to fully relax the body and calm the mind. Soothing the nervous system to allow for rest and healing.
- Relaxation and meditation

Functional Yoga

Taking elements of different styles of yoga practice including Forrest yoga, Vinyasa and Ashtanga functional vinyasa aims to create stability and increase range of motion in the body. You can expect core work, use of props, myofascial release and long-held postures. While the postures themselves in each class will be different the structure of class will be as follows: breathwork (pranayama), warmup, core work, sun salutations, a variety of standing and seated postures.

Mindful Yoga Flow

Working with the energy of the season and bringing our system into balance. We will do this through strengthening flow sequences designed to ease the body onto flexibility whilst building stamina, Completing the practice with some restorative breathing and postures.

Ashtanga Fundamentals

During this class you will be introduced to the foundation standing and seated postures, including sun salutations. Modifications will be offered and we will work incrementally to build physical and emotional well being. Included with the classes will be calming and energising breathing techniques and of course relaxation.This class is a great introduction to stronger practices, if that is the intention but works perfectly as a balanced practice on its own.

Ashtanga Flow to Slow

A slightly different emphasis on the traditional Ashtanga sequence. We begin with the dynaminc flow from sun salutations to standing and balancing postures, from here as we come to the seated postures we start to slow the practice into longer held stretches, to release tension in the hips, massage our internal organs, flushing out toxins and allowing new oxygenated blood to flow into the muscles, joints and fascia. A truly nourishing practice.

Gentle Yoga Flow

Strong Vinyasa Flow

This energetic practice is based around traditional Ashtanga vinyasa. You will have the chance to try advanced postures such as arm balances, but modifications will always be given. Come with an open heart and some space for playfulness. This is a strong, invigorating practice that will help you to build foundations for inversions, while developing strength in both your body and mind.

Vinyasa Flow to Restore

A healing practice to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, we rinse, rebalance and ease the body and mind into a restful state through breathing techniques, gentle movement and meditation.

Beginning with a nourishing flow that focuses on shifting stagnant energy, lubricating our joints and opening up the body, we then relax into longer held floor-based poses where the body is supported with blankets, bolsters…and we focus on letting go and stilling the mind.

Somatic Movement

Tuning inwards with slow, focused movements to deeply soothe the nervous system, develop body awareness and release tension. A wonderful class if you are feeling burnt out, fatigued, stressed or want to shift energy blockages.

Bring an extra layer to keep cosy during slower parts of the class. The focus is on the internal sensations within your body, many movements will be low to the ground. All fitness levels are welcome, you can set your own pace.
