Courage & Calm, Light & Dark, Push & Pull.... Yin & Yang... every action requires an equal and opposite reaction. Given our very busy and stimulating lives an opportunity to balance our bodies and nervous systems, this class will introduce any level of practitioner to the understanding that our bodies need dynamic movement (Yang) but also to slow down to replenish and allow for deep rest (Yin).

Starting with an energetic and strengthening series (Yang). Getting the body and energy moving, as we begin to wring out all the stresses of the work day, both physically and mentally. This standing series will include the same poses in every practice and it gives the practitioner the opportunity to notice growth of practice and honour where they are at. This series contains no downdog or flow - making it an excellent option for those with upper body injuries or mobility issues (getting up and down off the floor for example).

The second half of our class is a wonderfully nourishing, releasing and restorative Yin Yoga practice. Mindful long held floor based stretches targeting the deep connective tissue, ligaments and fascia of the body; increasing our flexibility, rebalancing our energy, whilst allowing for the mind and nervous system to settle down deeply into a calming meditative state.

The result? A sense of balance, a deep feeling of release and "letting go" of tension carried and stored in our bodies and minds. A sense of being in harmony and naturally energized.

This class will benefit both a beginner and advanced practitioner as the practice is truly for each individual.

Just a good old fashioned straight up Hatha class with a touch of flow here and there.

Suitable for all levels. Including beginners.

The next phase after any beginner based class at Love|Yoga|Grace. The perfect balance of Meditation, Flexibility, Strength and Relaxation. Excellent for Moderate Beginners or a Practitioner that enjoys a slow, mindful practice.

Until I became a Teacher, I didn't realize how many plus sized people stay away from Yoga because they believe it's only for thin bodies. Even worse, I was so disappointed to hear stories of big people being shamed or made to feel less than when they have attempted to do Yoga.

Solution? CURVY Basics. Start with my Curvy Body and I right here. This class is ideal for those who have never stood on a mat and might feel a little nervous (or maybe even a lot). This class would also be ideal for a plus sized person that has done Yoga but is looking for more information on how to modify Yoga poses to work for YOUR BODY. Safe, judgment free space to explore Yoga with CURVES.

Straight up good old fashioned Hatha to get you through the rest of your day!
