Classes We Offer

Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga yoga is one of the more quick paced styles of yoga, and is often described as 'power yoga'. It is notable for the set sequence of postures that the practice has. Each posture is a preparation for the next, developing the strength and flexibility that is required in order to move on. The practice is designed to gradually open up blockages inside the body/mind/nervous system and awaken the practitioner to a greater sense of space and freedom within. The practice content consists of the Ujayi breath (a specific breath technique), Bandhas (internal energetic locks within the body) and driste (gaze). This tristana forms the basis of Ashtanga yoga.

Vinyasa Yoga

This energising style of yoga is suitable for those who enjoy floing movement in their class. The style of the class is Vinyasa which means that the flow of the poses are synchronised with the breath. Postures are explained when introduced and different sequences are practiced to work on all areas of the body with a emphasis on breathing, alignment, strength and flexibility. Each class finishes with a guided relaxation to integrate your practice and relax the mind and body. These classes are both fun and lively yet meditative to cultivate mindfullness and peace, all which incorporate the philosophy and spirit of yoga.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga classes are a slower and more relaxing pace of yoga that stretch, strengthen and tone your whole body while rejuvenating your system and improving breathing. Breathing and movements are generally slower. The slower movements work on the internal working of the body and tone and rejuvenate the organs. Breath and movements are generally slower and as with all classes in the studio, each student is encouraged to move at their own pace.The main focus in these classes are relaxation, injury recovery, improved flexibility, stress reduction and most importantly the cultivation of a peaceful mind.

Restorative Yoga

Restorative Yoga is a gentle effortless form of yoga designed to impact, in subtle yet powerful ways, the mind and body. All postures are practiced with body completely relaxed, supported by props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks to ensure maximum physical comfort. This yoga practice includes guided meditation and deep relaxation; its stillness helps to rest the body, calm the mind, and quiet the nervous system. The poses are designed to be comfortable.
