CLASS STYLES
Vinyasa
Yoga Nidra
Restorative
Yin
Yin is a practice of creating space in the body and mind. It is a practice of yielding, allowing and releasing. In it we practice stilling the body and mind and cultivating awareness. Contrary to the more dynamic styles of yoga which target the muscles, yin works the deeper tissues: the ligaments, joints, fascial networks and even the bones. This class is the perfect antidote for our "yang" lifestyles. You can expect a slower paced class, where we remain in each pose from 1-10+ minutes.
Restorative yoga may appear from the outside to be the same as Yin yoga, but the intention and way of practicing is very different. Using plenty of props we come into the poses and stay for longer periods of time, with a focus on regulating the nervous system, releasing tension, and softening into deep rest and relaxation.
Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation that utilises a set of techniques which together can aid in relaxation, getting to sleep at night or unlocking creativity. These include: breath work, body scans and visualisations. When practiced together they help guide us towards the state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. You can expect to leave this class in a state of deep relaxation, renewed focus and feeling utterly refreshed.
Vinyasa is a popular style of yoga that emphasises linking movements together to create a flowing sequence. Though the pace and content will vary, the class tends to be more dynamic. Through the duration of the class, we will build in intensity to bring heat into the body, before slowing things back down for the closing sequence and final resting pose. You can expect a fun flowing class pairing breath with movement, as well as time for meditation and reflection. Variations will be given for different abilities.
Slow Flow
The slow flow class is a great place to start for those who are new to yoga or those looking for something that is gentle on the body. A slower paced class that will enable us to learn the basics of yoga as well as time to focus on the link between our breath and movement.
