Vinyasa flow is a practice of seamlessly flowing between postures, with breath. Classes will vary each week, but will always start with a meditation, before moving through a sequence which will warm up, strengthen and stretch the body. All of this happens alongside a focus on quieting the mind to find a balance between effort and ease. We end by slowing down into deep rest. Offering options for different experience levels, bodies or energy, this class will build mobility and strength through a wide range of movements while cultivating focus and calm.

No previous yoga experience required, however this class is not suitable for those with significantly impaired mobility.

My yoga classes are engaging and interactive with a strong focus on correct alignment to avoid injury. My classes often focus more on energetics practices like unblocking chakras, setting intentions, with pranayama (breathwork) and meditation often incorporated.
My vinyasa classes always begin slowly with a pranayama and meditation, a quick warm-up for the wrists and shoulders and body as we work our way up to our vinyasa sequence. We will always wind the body down slowly with a closing sequence and finish in savasana or corpse pose, our final meditative resting pose, to let all the energy balancing work integrate into the body.
As always, you will be encouraged to take the opportunity to make the practice completely your own, take rest when you need it or choose from the many options to modify or amplify asana depending on what your body wants or needs. Modifications and amplifications are always offered and props (yoga blocks, straps, and blankets and cushions) are encouraged and included. Listen to your body – it and you are your best teacher.

Lots of fun will be had with some spiritual insights thrown in along the way and you will feel rejuvenated and renewed afterwards.

Yin yoga is a slow-paced, mindful style of yoga in which the postures are held for longer periods of time, ranging from 2 to 5 minutes. We incorporate the use of props like bolster pillows to allow the body to stretch passively. In yin yoga, time is more important than intensity. Yin postures apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body i.e. the tendons, fascia, and ligaments, with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Practitioners are encouraged to establish their own “edge” in every pose, and to work within the limitations of their own bodies, find stillness and observe whatever arises.
Yin has its origins in traditional Chinese Medicine and has similar effects to acupuncture as it works with chi and the meridian lines in the body. Yin yoga can improve energy flow, enhance the flow of chi in the organs, and offer emotional and mental health benefits. In addition to people seeking a calmer, quieter practice, Yin is also an excellent style of yoga to complement more active forms of yoga and sports. Often practiced later in the day, it is the perfect way to unwind both the mind and body at any time of day to allow for balance in the body and a restful sleep.
