Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa is the traditional name for Yoga Flow. Vinyasa is an approach to Yoga in which you move from one pose directly into the next. It is all about linking together breath and movement in a flowing sequence. (Best to have some Yoga experience before attending Vinyasa/Flow classes).

Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar Yoga was developed by B.K.S. Iyengar, and is based on the ancient text, ‘Yoga Sutras’. The physical postures, ‘Asana’, are developed in a specific sequence with a focus on correct alignment and utilise props, such as band, block and bolster, to support the student in the postures.

Iyengar Yoga is suitable for all abilities as it incorporates gentle, basic postures and moves to more advanced postures when the student is ready.

Gentle Yoga

This class involves slow and mindful movement with an emphasis on simple postures using props. We use a chair, blocks, bands and the studio bar to assist in developing strength and flexibility. Gentle yoga aims to support and develop movement, improve breathing and calm the nervous system. Suitable for those with limited mobility, pre and post natal, or just wanting a slow, gentle practice.

Power Yoga

Power Yoga is a dynamic class and offers the opportunity to explore more challenging poses and some inversions. It is fun, free flowing and strong; all about power and core strength while still keeping the essence of Yoga.

This is an intermediate class and not suitable for beginners or people who have injuries.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is great for reducing stress in the body and mind. A slower style of Yoga where poses are held for longer periods, using props and with an emphasis on the breath to work deeply into joints and connective tissues. As Yin Yoga typically focuses on the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis and lower spine, anyone who sits all day, has low back pain or tight hips is going to find this of great benefit.

Suitable for all levels.

Pilates

Pilates is an energising and fun class. We use small props and body weight to tone, strengthen and lengthen the body with mindful, controlled movements. With a focus on function and form, Pilates is a complete mind body workout.

Suitable for all levels.
