Flow yoga is the next step up after beginners yoga. We learn to move more fluidly and our breath acts as an compliment to the movement. We will get to explore the nuances of the postures and go a little deeper into alignment principles. This is is a dynamic form of yoga where you work towards a peak pose. It is not suitable for complete beginners. This style of yoga helps to improve cardiovascular and respiratory health, and increase bone density. Many practitioners also discover reduced stress and improved sleep.

Yin Yoga is a slower more relaxed style of yoga where postures are held for 3 minutes or more.  Yin is intended to stretch the deeper layers of connective tissue and fascia helping to increase overall flexibility.  The practitioner is encouraged to relax into each posture whilst focusing awareness towards the area of the body being worked. Please wear warm and comfortable clothes to this class.

Pilates is a system of exercises designed to improve physical strength, flexibility, and posture, and enhance mental awareness.  Similar to Yoga in many ways, Pilates focuses on identifying and exercising targeted muscle groups whilst focusing on the breath. Pilates is commonly practiced with the use of additional equipment eg: exercise balls.

Ashtanga is a rigorous style of yoga that follows a specific sequence of postures and is similar to vinyasa yoga, as each style links every movement to a breath. The difference is that ashtanga  always performs the exact same poses in the exact same order. This is a hot, sweaty, physically demanding practice that builds strength, mobility and flexibility.

This class is really gentle, it is for less mobile people to avail of the benefits of yoga without lots of getting up and down off the floor. There will be a portion of this class given over to exercising the pelvic floor.
