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.

Pilates and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) make great companions when it comes to choosing exercise regimes, since they complement and support each other in their beneficial impact on the body. HIIT focuses on large, global muscles and Pilates works on the core, so when combined they work on both large and small muscle groups. This ensures a whole body focus.
HIIT provides a quick and effective cardio workout, which is helpful for burning lots of calories, slowing down ageing and boosting the metabolism. It is an excellent way of increasing fitness and stamina by building aerobic capacity.

A creative, slower paced Vinyasa practice incorporating a full range of poses with modifications. This yoga aims to unwind your body and soothe your nervous system, opening you to more groundedness in your daily life. We use the breath throughout class to connect to the present moment. The focus can include heart opening backbends, unwinding tightness through hip openers and releasing the lower back through side body lengthening. We always end with a relaxing savasana. This class will reset your mind, body and spirit.

HIIT training on it's own has amazing benefits. When combined with weights it gives a whole new dimension to your workout, allowing you to work your full body in a short period of time. HIIT with weights can burn calories both during and after the workout, build muscle, and improve heart health.

What is aperitivo?

An aperitivo is a pre-meal drink; the experience of aperitivo is a cultural ritual. Derived from the Latin aperire, the tradition is meant “to open” the stomach before dining. Accordingly, for centuries Italians have said cheers – cin cin – over drinks and appetizers in the early evening hours between work and dinner.

The class is fast-paced and invigorating, a fixed set sequence instructed in a vinyasa style. It is a fully balanced class that is challenging but accessible. This intelligent sequence is designed to get into all the areas of the body. It is especially good for athletic types who want to improve their flexibility and keep their joints healthy while also improving their strength and stamina.
