NEW CLASS TIMETABLE COMMENCING 21st September 2020

Gentle Yoga 

30 Minute and 60 Minute Yoga classes comprised of gentle Hatha and Restorative Yoga poses with a focus on relaxing the mind and body followed by Guided Meditation. These classes are a wonderful choice for beginners or for those wanting a more soothing Yoga practice. Props such as blocks, bolsters and straps are incorporated into the postures to ensure you remain comfortable while still maintaining a beneficially intense stretch.  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.

Yoga & Meditation to Balance Your Chakras

The seven main chakras are the centers in our body that energy flows through. Having blocked energy in any of our seven chakras can lead to illness or upset in the mind and body, so it is important to keep this energy flowing freely. These 60 Minute classes are a 7 week repeating series, which each week having its focus on balancing a different chakra through Yoga and Meditation. Maximum of five people per class.
Week 1: Root Chakra - focus on grounding Hatha poses and building a strong foundation.
Week 2: Sacral Chakra - focus on strengthening and stretching the hips through Vinyasa flows, whilst working on opening up to new people and experiences.
Week 3: Solar Plexus Chakra - focus on digestion and abdominal strength whilst gaining confidence in our intuition.
Week 4: Heart Chakra - focus on opening the chest and shoulders whilst connecting to feelings of love and inner peace.
Week 5: Throat Chakra - focus on releasing tension in the neck, whilst tapping into our ability to communicate.
Week 6: Third Eye Chakra - focus on activating the Third Eye and connecting deeper into the imagination, and our ability to see the big picture.

If the word Chakra does not connect with you, you are welcome to simply view each week as having its focus on a different section of the body. The intensity and content of the classes will change week to week. Beginners are welcome and you do not need to commit to all seven weeks of the series.
