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.

A slow-paced, beginner yoga class for those with more "seasoned " bodies AND/OR those new to yoga. We will ensure that the benefits of yoga are accessible to students of varying degrees of strength and flexibility and those of any shape, size or age.

The objective of Hatha 101 will be to help participants build strength and endurance, increase flexibility, and improve posture and balance. Perfect for beginners, mid-life and older adults who may benefit from a slower pace. Students will be encouraged to use props such as blocks or bolsters to ensure their practice is both comfortable and accessible. We want students to find the right modifications to suit their body's needs.

Breath work, relaxation and meditation practices are included to encourage stress reduction.

The next phase after Curvy Basics. The perfect balance of Meditation, Flexibility, Strength and Relaxation. Excellent for Moderate Beginners or a Practitioner that enjoys a slow, mindful practice.

On Wednesdays we do Yin! A 60 minute lunchtime Yin class every Wednesday. Step away from your computer at lunchtime and recover from the mid-week blues. Yin Yoga has been shown to improve stress management, calm your mind and body, increase flexibility and reduce joint pain and help practitioners find balance with a more focused mind. Basically, all of the things we need in the middle of a stressful week!

Beautiful Hatha class to take a break mid-day. Re-connect and relax. Hatha with a bit of flow and as always a delicious Savasana.

No one knows as well as we do that life is stressful; work, kids, family obligations.... Here's to hoping a little Calm AF Fridays can help. Slightly unconventional - we might vent a little, swear a little but one thing we guarantee? You'll leave something on your mat and set a beautiful energy for your weekend!

Gentle/mindful movement - connecting breath to body. Deep yin-like holds and totally delicious restorative moments capped off with an extra long Savasana.
