This is a strong, deep but accessible practice. We work not only on building strength and flexibility, and on balancing the nervous system, but also on bringing ourselves to a meditative state creating space and stillness in our minds. We work with dynamic flows, allowing breath to drive movement and bring the benefits of yoga to every layer of our beings. There is a focus on deep core strengthening to build physical and mental/emotional stability as well as on gently, efficiently increasing flexibilty, balance and focus.

These sessions run on the fourth Saturday of every month and are designed to be a playful exploration of intermediate and advanced postures. Vinyasa is a Sanskrit word which means special placement and Krama means stages or steps. These classes will therefore build up to peak poses in stages moving from more accessible postures to progressively harder variations. The teaching style is very different from a typical led class in that it is student led and therefore the themes of the session will be decided by those who attend.
