ASHTANGA

A vigorous practice, moving from pose to pose at a sustained pace. Expect a workout that builds up strength, flexibility and stamina. The same sequence of poses, the Primary Series, is repeated in each class so you ultimately commit it to memory and can move on to self-practice. When fully integrated, the practice becomes like a moving meditation as you no longer need to remember the sequence.

VINYASA FLOW

Vinyasa flow yoga is a dynamic practice rooted in Ashtanga yoga principles, where poses are link together to form one fluid sequence of movement. Benefits include cardiovascular health, strength building, a wide range of motion, stress relief, flexibility and connection with breath.

Expect to move from pose to pose in a creative sequence that changes every time, and often with a musical background. Some classes will be more vigorous and challenging than others depending on the teacher, who each bring their own influences, so do try them all or contact us for guidance.

FLOW & RESTORE
YOGA

A class which balances a steady-paced 40 minute sequence of active, energizing postures followed by 20 minutes of restorative (passive and deeply relaxing) postures. Taking a slower pace, the active sequence allows deep exploration of precise alignment, mindful strength-building and smooth transitions, creating a fluid ease and enjoyment of the body moving with greater freedom.

HATHA

Hatha yoga is generally practiced more slowly and with more static posture holds than found in styles such as Ashtanga or Vinyasa. However, the tradition of Hatha yoga encompasses much more than the physical practice which has become popular today.

JIVAMUKTI

Jivamukti is a path to enlightenment through compassion to all beings. Created by Sharon Gannon and David Life in New York in 1984. Jivamukti is an internationally recognised form of Hatha yoga and is founded on five tenants; ahimsa (non-harming), bhakti (devotion), dhyana (meditation), nada (sound) and shastra (scripture).

ROCKET

Rocket is deeply rooted in Ashtanga. It is a series of standing, balancing and inverted postures all linked by vinyasas (movement flows), incorporating basic poses with challenging arm balances, inversions and back bends.

Inversions are lot of fun, but they also prove to be some of the most challenging postures.
Some of the upside down postures are designed to energise us, others are designed to calm us down.
No matter if you are a newbie or an old hat to inversions this class will be fun, will get you sweating and see the world from another perspective -upside down.

YIN

A quiet practice involving prolonged stretching. Postures are held for 3 minutes or more to open into the deeper layers of connective tissue around the joints.
During this time we develop attentiveness and refine our awareness of our physical, energetic, emotional and mental states. Yin yoga is a great complement to dynamic (yang) styles and is recommended to anyone in need of deep stretching. It is therefore not recommended for those with hypermobility, spinal disc issues or joints issues, and it’s not suitable during pregnancy.
