Vinyasa Flow Yoga – an energetic-paced yoga class that links the breath with movement through a sequence of rythmic flows. All classes are themed but include a full body workout, with time set aside for relaxation and breathing techniques or meditation. Vinyasa Flow is suitable for all abilities, however beginners may benefit from attending Yoga for Beginners or Gentle Vinyasa Flow classes first, in order to learn the basic yoga poses at a slower pace.

Gentle Flow Yoga – a gentle Vinyasa Flow class, suitable for beginners or those who prefer slower-paced yoga with the addition of restorative poses. Modifications and yoga props are encouraged so that everyone can benefit from the yoga positions, regardless of age or ability.

Yoga for Beginners – suitable for all abilites, this yoga class teaches all the basic yoga positions, breathing techniques, meditation techniques and Sun Salutations and a slow pace.

Relax & Restore – delivered by candlelight, the class encourages deep relaxation of the body and mind, through breath-work, gentle yoga stretches and restorative yoga poses using bolsters and yoga props.

Bring your own blanket/throw to class.

Teen Yoga – a Vinyasa Flow class tailored to the needs of 13 – 17 year olds. Flow sequences encourage body-mind-breath awareness, help to reverse the physical effects of sitting at a desk for long periods and to de-stress the mind, promote self-confidence and a positive body image.
