Go with the slow - a gentle yoga class to feel all the feels. Slowing down the pace of your practice can be a beautiful thing. Adding more space between each transition...waiting longer between breaths and let your body strengthen while you deepen your awareness. Awareness of the body and the breath is important throughout the transition, not just when we get to the pose. Also doesn't it feel so good to slow down...

An entire class curated to make you feel grounded and connected. Accessible postures, infused with gentle flowing movements, followed by restorative resting, relaxing breath practices and a long Savasana - deep relaxation.

Just enough softness.
...enough light.
...enough weight.
...enough space.
- to open, to grow, to see, to feel.
To hear your truth.
Your very own truth that only ever whispers.
...and only you can hear it.
You just know when you hear it.

This Tuesday evening class is the perfect way to ground and unwind after a busy day. Rachele will guide you through a balancing flow - a sweet and savoury mix between effort and ease.

Slow flow yoga is inviting you to move at a slower pace and the classes are rooted in the idea of intentional movement. Moving at at slower pace enables the body to take deeper breaths and creates spaces for a deeper body, breath, mind, heart connection.

Each pose invites effort - and as you flow into the next pose you are being invited to cultivate a sense of a moving meditation.

At the end of each practice you lean into ease - Rachele will offer restorative and softer shapes that lead into a deeply restful savasana.

Yoga mats, props and good vibes all included.

This class is open for all levels, and suitable for beginners.

Join Michelle Allen every Thursday morning for a very intimate gathering of like hearted souls in practice, prayer, breath and embodiment.

Movement for the joy of existing. Movement to let go. Moving to go with it, through it, to go somewhere new. Your breath picks up it's things and carries on in a new direction, upwards, with lightness. Creating spaces in the body. Space for a new change, new people, new life events, new sounds, new scents. Constantly moving, flowing and then settling. Forever changing our orientation, seeking new light and winds to redirect our course.

Michelle's classes are an invitation to tap into your body’s rhythm and the wisdom that it holds.

Opening up and not stepping back.
Feeling and truely seeing.
Offering.
Connecting.
Expanding.
All of it - all right now.

Māmā Revive // Every Thursday evening at Yoga Roots is an intimate night in for busy mama's.

These classes are a sweet and savoury mix between
flow and restorative
strength and softness
movement and stillness

We start with fluidly moving with intention. Connecting body, mind and breath in cohesive slow flow sequences of sun salutations, warrior poses, spinal twists, hips and heart openers.
To strengthen your body and iron out the creases of a busy week. Followed by soothing restorative yoga, to connect deeply within and honour your needs.

During the whole class you will be using and releasing internal energy and allowing the body's cues to take over to guide your pace, dept, expansion and mind and heart set.

The intention of the Māmā Revive space is an embodied experience to acknowledge, appreciate and hold each woman, each mother.

To sit,
In circle,
Be guided,
First into strength,
Followed by softening,
Melt into relaxation,
To arrive home,
In your body,
Your home.

Join your Māmā yoga village.
Whatever season of motherhood you are in.
