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.

Beginners Yoga is a sequence of flowing postures which are connected with the breath. It is designed as a well explained yet dynamic introduction to the practice of yoga. Various sequences comprising postures (asanas) linking breath and movement will be taught. The practitioner has the opportunity to learn the basics of yoga in a safe, welcoming and non judgmental environment. The 6 week course costs £60, you can buy a 6 week course pass and use it to book into the first class of the course to secure your space, or get in touch directly.

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.

Hot Yoga is just yoga, but in a hot room! You’ll sweat, you’ll stretch, you’ll strengthen. The room will get to around 35 degrees, wso it’s toasty. It is more or less the same sequence every time, so you get used to the poses and can focus on form, breath, and leaning into the session.

What should you bring to class?
A yoga mat, water bottle, and yourself! Some people find it useful to bring a small towel, or a yoga mat towel with them to mop up when things get really hot and sweaty.

Considerations:
* Hydration: Drink plenty of water before and during class, as dehydration and dizziness can occur, especially for beginners. 

* Listen to your body: If you feel dizzy, ill, or experience pain, stop or rest. 

* Stretching: Be mindful of your limitations, even though the heat can help you stretch further.

Please wear warm comfortable clothing to this class. 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.

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.

Mat Pilates is a foundational, floor-based exercise method focusing on core strength, posture, and body awareness by using your own body weight for resistance. It is accessible for all fitness levels and often incorporates small, portable props like rings, balls, or bands to enhance workouts. Sessions improve muscle endurance, flexibility, and spinal stability through controlled, low-impact movements, often serving as a starting point for beginners.

This is a yoga practice focused on creating a balance between strength and flexibility, breath, mind, and body. Many Hatha Yoga classes have a slower pace, making them ideal for beginners, those returning to yoga after a break or anyone recovering from injury.
