9:30-10:45am Classical Hatha Yoga
Classical Hatha yoga was developed in the 15th century for personal spiritual growth. In Sanskrit, Hatha translates to force.
Hatha yoga focuses on posture and breathing techniques to channel vital energy “Prana” by connecting breath, body, and mind. Classes are 75 minutes long and include centering & graunding meditation, breathing, yoga poses, relaxation and final chante of ‘Om’.
Hatha classes provide an opportunity to stretch, unwind, and release tension, providing a good counterpoint to both busy lifestyles and cardio workouts.
Hatha Yoga is suiatble for all levels including beginners.

Yin Yoga is a slow pace practice that alleviates pain and tension, working on subtle energy body and connective tissue: fascia, ligaments and tendons. Yin Yoga is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine Meridian Theory and is a practice of holding a pose for an extended period of time, 3-5 minutes, accessing deeper layers of connective tissues.
Suitable for all levels.
Wednesday
9:30-10:30am Therapeutic Yoga (from 8th January)
Therapeutic Yoga class is a gentle yoga practice based on Hatha Yoga and Somatic practice.
Through gentle movements and Pavanmuktasana Series (Joint Freeing) we release tension and stagnation in the body as well as incense range of movement, focusing on targeting common issues such as back pain, joint ache, sciatica and arthritis. Therapeutic Yoga can also improve flexibility, relieve pain in pelvis and hips as well as reduce stress, leaving you feel relaxed, nourished and rested.
Suitable for all ages, great as a beginners and for anyone affected by MS, ME, fibromyalgia and other chronic illnesses.
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

Sleep Yoga is a deeply restorative practice that allows you to fully relax and unwind.
