Vinyasa is a style of Yoga with an emphasis on breathing and healthy alignment in the poses. Moving at a faster tempo, this class builds stamina and strength while developing grace and flexibility. This class allows those with a regular practice to experience a more intense Vinyasa Yoga and introduces more challenging poses. Expect sun salutations, strong balancing poses, hip openers along with inversion and arm balance preparation. Our aim is to be able to move into and out of each asana with balance, a quiet mind and a firm connection to the earth, as well as actively seeking the relationship between movement and breath. By turning up the intensity, we can explore the place where our breath, mind and movement come together.

As with all my classes there will be many poses that will help counter the negative habits of modern life along with poses that aid sporting performance.

This challenging class is suitable if you have a regular Vinyasa practice or are physically capable through regular sporting practice. Numerous modifications will be offered to make the class as accessible as possible. If you are unsure whether this is the right class for you, please feel free to get in contact with me.

Most runners, cyclists and wakers are working on greater strength, but this Yin Yoga class will enhance length and flexibility. Running, sitting and high intensity workouts can have a negative effect on the lower back, knees, feet and ankles and the large muscles of the thighs. This way of exercising can tighten the hips, shorten the hamstrings, hip flexors and hip rotators and we can begin to feel a loss of range of movement in all these areas.

This Yin class is designed to nourish and rebuild these areas, making them stronger, longer and ready for your next run, marathon or next ride. This sequence is designed and intended for practice before or after your run or cycle in an easily absorbed sequence that you can take home with you and integrate into your life outside the studio.

We will follow the physical practice with a period of relaxation and meditation.

Class is £12 and can be booked with the below pass.
