This is an all levels class suitable for beginners.

To practice yoga it does not matter how old you are, how much you weigh, what you do for a living, where you live, or what religion you practice. Yoga is for just about everyone. You will learn and follow the essential components of a vinyasa flow yoga practice: breathing, meditation, intention, asanas (yoga postures), and relaxation.

Yoga is typically practiced in bare feet on a sticky yoga mat with optional yoga props. Bring your own mat if you have one, otherwise you can borrow one from us. We provide all the props you need for class. The yoga movements and poses require clothes that can stretch and move freely with your body. You can put together a comfortable outfit from your existing wardrobe to get started.

If you have a medical condition or a recent injury, it can be challenging or dangerous to do certain types of yoga, specific poses, or breathing techniques. Usually, there are alternatives or modifications that can allow you to practice safely so if you are recovering from an injury or are in poor health, we recommended consulting with a physician or other qualified health care professional before beginning yoga.

Ultimately, the best way to know if yoga is for you is to give it a try! Get in touch if you have any questions or concerns

He was raised here on the Hook peninsula and spent ten years working as the head tour guide at Hook Lighthouse, the oldest intact lighthouse in the world and the gem of this peninsula and more recently he worked for the Commissioners of Irish Lights carrying out maintenance duties on Hook Lighthouse as lighthouse keepers of the past would have done. A self confessed pharologist (lighthouse enthusiast), he has just come back to the Hook after spending two years travelling with his family and visiting lighthouses all over Europe.

Liam spent his childhood roaming the shoreline discovering every rock, chan, cave as well as the numerous historic buildings and ruins dotted along the route.

Join me for a one hour Yin yoga class every Thursday evening at the Secret Garden. This Thursdays class is a yin class for every chakra. Chakras are the energy centers that contain our life force energy and the nourishing nature of yin yoga is a great practise to help to balance the energy within through movement and breath and finishing with a guided meditation in Savasana.

Yin Yoga combines the physical with the mental and is designed to calm a busy mind. It's a practice where you just surrender to stillness and allow your body to soften and be supported by cushions and blankets on the floor, where you consciously let go of the mind chatter and the inner critic. This is a more deep stretching class to improve flexibility as well as range of motion and stability in your joints. Most of the poses are practiced low to the floor either seated or in a supine or prone position and involved holding poses for a few minutes at a time.

Yin yoga is one of the best practises you can do to improve flexibility & restore range of motion in your joints. It is the style of yoga that helps us to really wind down and tune inwards. If you, like me, are more of a yang person, ie. active, restless you might think about trying Yin to slow down and balance out that energy.

It's a very yang world out there, constantly moving, changing. Yin is a practice of stillness. It harnesses the lunar, more feminine energies in the body by nourishing our connective tissues that call for softening and stillness, where you consciously let go of the mind chatter and the inner critic. Being still in a very un-still world isn't easy and holding yin postures for a few minutes at a time can be surprisingly challenging. It's confronting, it challenges you slow down and to let go. Sometimes it feels boring, sometimes uncomfortable, other times blissful and then....little by little this hour of self care helps you develop flexibility and inner strength leaving you feeling balanced both physically and energetically.
