These sessions run on the fourth Saturday of every month. The Ashtanga Intermediate series is a dynamic, intense, challenging set of asanas that instils strength and a sense of rhythm. It involves moving through postures, linking them with transitions while synchronising the movements with breath. Experience of padmasana (lotus), urdhva dhanurasana (upward bow) and sirsasana (headstand) is preferred for this class, as is a solid understanding of Ashtanga Yoga's Primary series. By the average standard, this class may be described as advanced.

Mysore-style means ‘self practice’. In these classes, the teacher works with students individually to help tailor a practice unique to them; practitioners are able to go at their own pace and according to their needs. Students are guided through a sequence of yoga poses, one posture at a time, receiving both verbal and hands-on instruction.

Chest and Breast Roll Class – Part of the Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes Series
This is a self-massage class to aid rejuvenation of breast and chest tissue that may have been compromised. Breast and chest tissue exists within a greater fascial network and can be impacted from a variety of sources. Issues in the neck, shoulder, chest, back and breath can often be supported by addressing the breast and chest areas and the areas local to them. In this class we will explore simple self-massage techniques to improve range of motion, better breathing, intra-tissue mobility and whole body relaxation that can be employed out with the session. This class is appropriate for those with scar tissue from chest or breast related surgeries.
This class will provide ideas on self-massage techniques you can use at home to address and support the chest and breast tissues and surrounding area.

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes Series
The head, shoulder, knees and toes series are workshops that target specific areas to give you the knowledge to apply the massage technique to yourself at home. Each workshop will focus on one area of the body, looking at the anatomy of that area, exploring what we are rolling, stretching strengthening and why. Some workshops in this series include strengthening exercises to compliment the rolling techniques used.

Become unstuck at this fascial release class. 2 hours of restful rolling using therapy balls, the sticky texture of the balls are designed to create friction, improving the slide and glide between fascial layers. This has a wonderful relaxing impact on the nervous system as well as helping increase mobility, improve breathing as well as easing aches and pains.

All equipment needed is provided, feel free to take your own yoga mat if you prefer. Wear comfortable clothes, layers are good to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the session.
