Classical Hatha yoga was developed in the 15th century for personal spiritual growth. In Sanskrit, Hatha translates to force.

Wednesday
9:30-10:30am Somatic Yoga (from 8th January)
Somatic yoga is a movement therapy that combines slow, small movements with smooth breathing to help you become more aware of your body and mind. It’s designed to help you re-educate your body’s movement and sensory perception, and to release tension and trauma.
Some benefits of somatic yoga include:

Thursday
6:00-7:15pm Vinyasa Flow (from 9th January)
Term “Vinyasa” refers to the alignment of movement with breath commonly known as “flow”. Vinyasa is a style of yoga that involves moving from one pose to the next in a flowing sequence, with the breath coordinating the transitions. The variable nature of Vinyasa Yoga helps to develop a more balanced body as well as prevent repetitive motion injuries that can happen if you are always doing the same thing every day.
Vinyasa Flow is a more dynamic form of yoga and for that reason is suitable for those with some experience of yoga.
If you’re new to Yoga perhaps start first with Hatha Yoga practice to learn the positions and sequences and then progress to Vinyasa Flow.
Sunday
7:00-8:15 Restful Yoga & Sound (monthly)
Restful Yoga & Sound is a deeply restorative practice that allows you to fully relax and unwind.
Restful Yoga & Sound is a combination of:
– Restorative Yoga – a gentle practice where we are holding positions for 5-10 minutes using props such as bolsters, blocks and blankets,
– Yoga Nidra – guided meditation that will take you to a state of complete relaxation, regulates the blood pressure and relaxes the body,
– Sound Bath – a form of sound therapy, and an ancient technique for meditation, relaxation, and healing.
Purpose of Restful Yoga & Sound is to activate parasympathetic nervous system, which slows the heart rate, reduced blood pressure, and bring homeostasis to all systems in the body.
Suitable for all, but especially beneficial for those suffering from insomnia, anxiety, depression, headaches or other stress related conditions.
