Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga

60 Minute classes incorporating both Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga into a program designed specifically to increase your well-being, these are classes that will have you feeling strong, happy and refreshed. Stretching the body works to bring blood flow back to muscles, and can help ease headaches, neck pains and restore movement to the spine.

Hatha Yoga involves breathing and holding poses for 30 seconds to 1 minute and Vinyasa Yoga involves flowing from one pose to another with the breath.  All of the Yoga classes are suitable for beginners and can be modified to suit the needs of the individual. The content of the classes change each week. Maximum of five people per class. 

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga targets the deep connective tissues within the body; the ligaments, joints, bones and deep fascia networks. The classes consist of a series of floor poses held for 2 – 8 Minutes each, working mainly the lower part of the body, which is rich in connective tissues. Yin Yoga poses can balance the body’s internal organs and systems by stimulating and removing blockages in the myofascial meridians in the body. These Yoga classes give you the opportunity and the ability to allow emotions, thoughts and feelings that you have buried, knowingly or unknowingly, to surface. The intimate practice of this style of Yoga requires the participants to connect with the self and their emotions, something which can be easy to avoid in a fast-paced practice. Yin Yoga has been used to support those dealing with addictions, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, deep physical pain and trauma. These classes focus on regulating energy in the body, increasing mobility, lowering stress levels, improving lubrication and the protection of joints, increasing flexibility in connective tissue and teaching skills to cope with anxiety and stress. Maximum of five people per class.

Each month women go through a cycle with the moon, creating and renewing with the Full Moon and releasing all that no longer serves us with the New Moon. In today’s fast paced society where it feels like women need to be constantly “on”, from working, to raising children, this 60 Minute class serves as a haven for those wanting time to just breathe, connect and be. This class is held by candlelight and includes breathwork and guided meditation with a maximum of five people per class. Props such as bolsters, blankets, eye pillows, blocks and straps are used to support the body in the Yoga postures.
