Yin Yoga

A Yin class usually consists of a series of passive floor poses held for up to 5 minutes or more. These poses mainly work the lower part of the body – the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, and lower spine. Yin yoga is for you if you are tired and craving energy or you’re over-stimulated and have too much energy. The practice also offers huge mental and emotional benefits.

Yoga Nidra & Restorative Yoga

Restorative yoga helps you take some time out of modern-day stressful living and enjoy some rest and relaxation.

The body is completely supported by props and poses are held for 8-12 minutes to enable you to let go. This class gives you permission to relax, restoring easy breathing, lowering the heart rate and releasing tension in your body and mind.

We finish with a Yoga Nidra - a deeply restorative and nourishing guided meditation. Prepare to be taken on a journey into a state of deep relaxation; you will leave this class feeling rested and renewed, and ready for a goods nights sleep.

No yoga experience required. You can dress cosily and fluffy socks are highly recommended, especially in the colder months!

Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga and Meditation uses breath work, mantras, meditation and movement to clear out the subconscious mind of anything non-serving. When we master the mind, we can begin to hear and connect to our Super-Conscious, our intuition and throughout this class, you will be invited to move differently, hold postures, consistently focus on breathing and let go of the mental chat.

Meditation

Meditation is a practice that involves training the mind to achieve a state of calmness, relaxation, and inner peace. Meditation can involve various techniques such as focusing on the breath, repeating a mantra or word, or simply observing one's thoughts. During the class, you will learn various techniques to calm your mind, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase your overall sense of peace and tranquillity.

Pilates

A Pilates class is a low-impact workout that focuses on strengthening and toning the core muscles of the body. The class is suitable for all fitness levels and targets the abdominals, back, and hips. In addition to improving your posture and balance, Pilates can also help alleviate joint pain and reduce stress. Join us for a challenging and rewarding workout that will leave you feeling energised and refreshed.
