By adding load to yoga poses and other mindful movement
we can gain both strength and flexibility.

When we apply the right amount of load to the body it will adapt and get stronger.

When loads are gradually increased over time we develop strength. Being mindful about when and how much load to add is integral in this progressive approach. We add load by using body weight, bands, and dumbbells. If you do not have weights or bands, you can get creative and find things around your home to use. (cans, stretchy tights etc)

Learning new movements, or doing old movements in different ways, is a great way to get the body progressing in a new direction. We affect more than just our tissues when we demand something out of the ordinary. Remember your body love and yearns for variety!!

This flow class is a fun explorative journey of some more “challenging” asanas. You will learn how to make the asana fit your body rather than the other way around. There is a place for everyone in every asana. This class is about the journey and not the destination, and is suitable for anyone with some yoga practice.

An All Levels class designed to challenge, inspire and educate students to learn more about the practice, the poses and themselves. Variations are always offered.

Like science, yoga movement evolves with our better understanding of biomechanics (the study of the structure, function and motion of the mechanical aspects of biological systems). But Yoga is not just a science, it is also a philosophy and way of life, so in this class you can expect "traditional yoga" with a modern approach.

Yin yoga is mindful deep stretching with longer holds.

Grab yourself some blankets, towels, pillows or couch cushions and some books of similar height and size to use in place of blocks.
