Curious about Ashtanga but not sure you're ready for it? This is the way in.

Ashtanga has a reputation for being strict and a little intimidating: the set sequence, the structure, a room full of people who seem to already know exactly what they're doing. This class quietly takes all of that apart. Week by week we work through the opening of the same traditional sequence, slowly, with time to actually learn each posture and the breath that goes with it. Nothing is assumed, and nothing is rushed.

Some people use this as their way into our Saturday Ashtanga class. Others find it's exactly the pace they want, and simply stay. Both are completely right.

What to expect:

At your own pace: We take the beginning of the Primary Series slowly, so you learn it properly rather than scrambling to keep up.

Modified for you: Every posture has an option. You do the version that suits your body on the day.

No expectations: You don't need to be flexible, strong, or experienced. You just need to be curious.

An hour to move, breathe, and get to know a practice that rewards turning up.

A dynamic, full-mat practice that moves in every direction, not just forward and back. Each class centres on one of the four elements, Earth, Water, Fire, or Air, to bring a different focus to the body.
We start and end slow, with deep floor postures that work into the connective tissue. In between, the pace lifts into a strong, continuous Vinyasa flow that builds heat and asks you to work.
Expect to move a lot, breathe hard, and leave steadier than you arrived.

This class is the antidote to the physical stiffness that comes with daily life. Rather than rushing through postures, we strip the pace right back to focus on conscious, deliberate movement. It is a slow, methodical, and highly accessible approach to unwinding the body. Whether you are looking to maintain your joint health, step onto a mat for the very first time, or want to move without the pressure of keeping up with a fast-paced room, this is where you start.

What to expect:

Pace: Gloriously slow and intentional.

Focus: Rebuilding balance, preserving everyday mobility, and mindful, structural stretching.

Vibe: A space where you can take your time and move exactly as your own body allows.

For those who know the sequence or are ready to learn it properly.

This is Ashtanga as it's meant to be practised: the Primary Series, led and counted, moving with the breath. If you already know the shapes, this is your hour to drop the thinking and just practise, to find the rhythm, meet your familiar edges, and feel the sequence work the way only repetition can. If you're newer but committed, you're welcome here too; follow the count, take the modifications, and the series will teach you over time.

We move through the full arc: sun salutations, standing postures, the seated sequence, and a proper close. A strong, steady, physical practice. The same shapes, the same order, every week.

What to expect:

Led and counted: Kay guides the pace and the breath, so you can stay in the practice rather than in your head.

Your own edge: Every posture has its options. This is a strong class, but never a competitive one.

Rewards the regular: Ashtanga gives back what you put in. Turn up each week, and you'll feel it.
