Hatha yoga is a yoga practice of movement and breath, improving strength, flexibility and balance back into the body and relaxing the mind. This style of Yoga combines dynamic movement with static holds and strengthening.

Yoga is a wonderful compliment to any existing exercise routine, as it can help to tone, condition and strengthen muscles between training sessions, as well as help to recover and prevent injury.

Expect a fun class which can be as challenging or as restorative as you like! Beginners and experienced Yogis are both welcome!

Bringing your own mat and props is encouraged, however there will be props at the studio should you need to borrow anything.

***I have a limited number of mats available but it is best if you bring your own mat just in case.

This class is a flowing sequence of postures that are linked together by the breath. As we move, we will focus on connecting our breath to our movement, creating a smooth and fluid flow.

THIS LINK IS FOR YOGA NIDRA CLUB MEMBERS TO BOOK THE CLASS USING THEIR MEMBERSHIP PASS.

Yoga Nidra for Sleep. Theme: Kindness

This yoga nidra class, designed to help with sleep, will guide you through the theme of kindness. Based on the Buddhist meta bhavna (loving kindness) meditation practice, we will explore the theme of kindness to ourselves and to others.

As you lie comfortably in savasana, I will lead you through a series of guided visualisations and body scans, helping you to relax, release tension, and connect with kindess to yourself.

We will begin by setting an intention for the practice. This could be anything from letting go of what no longer serves you to welcoming in new ways to be kind to yourself and/or others. Once we have set our intention, we will begin to relax and deepen our breath.

As we continue to relax and deepen our breath, I will lead you through a body scan. This involves bringing your awareness to each part of your body, from your toes to your head, and noticing any sensations that are present. The body scan is a powerful way to release tension and connect with your body in a deep and meaningful way, and helps to prepare the body for sleep.

At the end of the practice, you can have the choice to remain in your yoga nidra practice, as I will repeat the words "Sleep well, be well" to signal the end of the class.

If you wish to wake from the practice, you may do so in your own time. You may want to take some time to journal about your experience, or simply rest quietly and reflect on the insights you have gained.

I hope you will join me for this brand new Nidra that I have been working on for a while now. It is a wonderful way to celebrate the season and to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
