We will meet at Tide Mills car park (in between Newhaven and Seaford, you will receive exact directions upon booking) roughly 10 minutes before the start time and then wander over to the spot together.

We have a spot of flat ground for the yoga just back from the pebbly beach, where we will be more comfortable and balanced.

Focus will lie on stretching out the large muscles and getting the circulation going in the body to prepare us for the following swim. The pace of the class will wary slightly depending on the weather. If it is cold and cloudy we will focus on warming up and energising a bit more, but with plenty of options to accommodate all levels and abilities. Whilst if its hot and sunny we may slow it down and soak up the rays to not overheat.

We move through a series of stretches and poses, feeling our bodies awaken and our breath deepen. Our movements will be slow and intentional, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the present moment and nature.

After our yoga practice, there is the option to take a dip in the sea, the cool, salty water washing away any remaining tension or stress. Feeling invigorated by the energy of the sea, it is impossible to not be present, noticing the body coming alive with sensations when being submerged in cold water.

These yoga classes at Tide Mills beach is a wonderful way to connect with nature, rejuvenate your body and mind, and start your day with a sense of calm and gratitude.

Starting 28th of March

Join this course designed for complete beginners to yoga. We will meet once a week for 6 weeks and practice yoga. Each week we will go through new movements and postures in a pace adapted to you who are taking the class.

The teacher, Ylva, specialises in anatomy, healthy movement and how that affects our bodies. This course is therefore focused on creating an understanding of the how, the executions of different positions and movements, but also the why, the reason we do these poses, when to do which ones and what they can help us with.

This means that after the course has finished you will not just have a better posture, calmer mind and more body awareness, you will also understand what yoga is, how and when to use it to get the most out of it.

You might have planned holidays, as well as life's usual unpredictability which might mean you miss a class or two. For this, recorded online classes can be provided.

For this class bring your own mat and yoga block (if you don't have your own, let me know and we will work it out)

Signing up for the course also gives you free entry to any of the other weekly classes I offer in Wivelsfield (does not include other courses or workshops such as sound baths or outdoor classes)

Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a dynamic and physically more challenging style of yoga that emphasises on fluid movement and breath control. In a typical Vinyasa Flow class, we will move through a sequence of movements in a continuous, flowing way, synchronised to the breath.

The word "vinyasa" comes from the Sanskrit term nyasa, meaning "to place," and the prefix vi, meaning "in a special way." Vinyasa Flows then emphasises on the connection between breath and movement, with each inhale or exhale initiating a particular movement or sequence of movements, to place the body in a specific way with each breath.

Each class will be different and the focus can lie on different body parts, such as hips or shoulders, or a particular movement, like circles or backbends. The focus can also be to keep a mindset of fluidity or stability. But in each class we will move through a variety of poses, including sun salutations, standing and balancing poses aiming to get the whole body involved and energised.

Moving faster and having to work a little bit harder with the body can both be really fun and a great way to calm the mind down. Vinyasa yoga can offer a great respite or act as a balancing tonic if we are living a life where there is a lot of focus on thinking and less on physical movement.

This class is designed to help you start your weekend with more energy and vitality. The class will begin with a brief centering meditation to help you focus your mind and set your intentions for the day ahead. You will then move through a series of gentle yoga postures, linking your movement with your breath in a flowing sequence.

The flow will be designed to awaken your body and mind. You will be encouraged to move with intention and to gently challenge yourself in order to stimulate your body and mind. The postures will be adaptable for all levels, so whether you're new to yoga or have an established practice, you'll find this class energising and uplifting.

After the yoga flow, you will be guided through a seated or lying-down meditation. The meditation will focus on cultivating a sense of alertness, focus, and clarity in the mind. We will use various techniques to help improve our awareness of both the body and mind as well as the present moment.

The class will end with a brief period of reflection, allowing you to notice any shifts or insights that arose during the practice. You will leave feeling more awake and energised, ready for whatever the day has in store.

Join this gentle morning yoga class, a perfect way to start your day with movement and mindfulness. In this class, we will focus on gentle movements to awaken the body, calm the mind, and connect with our breath.

We'll start by lying down and take a few deep breaths to settle into the present moment. We'll then move into a series of gentle stretches and poses, beginning with some gentle twists to awaken the spine and release tension in the back.

From there, we'll move through a series of slow, fluid movements, including gentle lunges, forward folds, and hip openers, all designed to awaken the body and release any stiffness or tension. We will be doing some standing poses and sometimes in a slow pace move through a few sun salutations or warrior poses that can be adapted to your current energy levels or abilities.

Throughout the class, we'll focus on the breath, using it to deepen our connection with our bodies and cultivate a sense of calm and focus. We'll also incorporate some gentle meditation and breathing exercises, to help us stay centered but also build energy as we move through the class.

These classes are perfect for anyone who wants to improve their energy levels and flexibility. Whether you are a morning person or not, these classes will really help you start off the weekend mindfully and energised.
