Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a dynamic and physically more challenging style of yoga that emphasises on fluid movement and breath control. In a typical Vinyasa Flow class, we will move through a sequence of movements in a continuous, flowing way, synchronised to the breath.

The word "vinyasa" comes from the Sanskrit term nyasa, meaning "to place," and the prefix vi, meaning "in a special way." Vinyasa Flows then emphasises on the connection between breath and movement, with each inhale or exhale initiating a particular movement or sequence of movements, to place the body in a specific way with each breath.

Each class will be different and the focus can lie on different body parts, such as hips or shoulders, or a particular movement, like circles or backbends. The focus can also be to keep a mindset of fluidity or stability. But in each class we will move through a variety of poses, including sun salutations, standing and balancing poses aiming to get the whole body involved and energised.

Moving faster and having to work a little bit harder with the body can both be really fun and a great way to calm the mind down. Vinyasa yoga can offer a great respite or act as a balancing tonic if we are living a life where there is a lot of focus on thinking and less on physical movement.

For this class bring your own mat and yoga block (if you don't have your own, email me and I will bring it for you)

Suitable for all levels, apart from complete beginners
Great for improving strength & flexibility

This class is designed to help you connect with your body, breath, and mind in a gentle and nurturing way. The class will begin with a brief centering meditation to help you let go of any distractions and fully arrive in the present moment. You will then move through a series of gentle yoga postures, linking your movement with your breath in a flowing sequence.

A special focus will be placed on undoing tension that easily occurs from modern life. Meaning we will work on mobilising the spine, open the chest and improve blood flow to the hips and legs.

Moving in a way that feels good in the body, stretching out commonly tight muscles and preparing us for the meditation part by making sure the body feels as comfortable as possible.

The yoga postures will be accessible and adaptable for all levels. You will be encouraged to move at your own pace and to listen to your body's needs throughout the practice.

After the flow, you will be guided through a seated or lying-down meditation, bring a blanket to sit on or to wrap around you to stay warm and comfortable.

The meditation will focus on cultivating awareness, presence, and relaxation in the body and mind. We will use various techniques to help you deepen your meditation practice, such as breath awareness, visualisation, or body scan.

The class will end with a brief period of reflection, allowing you to notice any shifts or insights that arose during the practice. You will leave feeling more centered, grounded, and connected to yourself and the present moment.

Starting 28th of March

Join this course designed for complete beginners to yoga. We will meet once a week for 6 weeks and practice yoga. Each week we will go through new movements and postures in a pace adapted to you who are taking the class.

The teacher, Ylva, specialises in anatomy, healthy movement and how that affects our bodies. This course is therefore focused on creating an understanding of the how, the executions of different positions and movements, but also the why, the reason we do these poses, when to do which ones and what they can help us with.

This means that after the course has finished you will not just have a better posture, calmer mind and more body awareness, you will also understand what yoga is, how and when to use it to get the most out of it.

You might have planned holidays, as well as life's usual unpredictability which might mean you miss a class or two. For this, recorded online classes can be provided.

For this class bring your own mat and yoga block (if you don't have your own, let me know and we will work it out)

Signing up for the course also gives you free entry to any of the other weekly classes I offer in Wivelsfield (does not include other courses or workshops such as sound baths or outdoor classes)

Join this gentle morning yoga class, a perfect way to start your day with movement and mindfulness. In this class, we will focus on gentle movements to awaken the body, calm the mind, and connect with our breath.

We'll start by lying down and take a few deep breaths to settle into the present moment. We'll then move into a series of gentle stretches and poses, beginning with some gentle twists to awaken the spine and release tension in the back.

From there, we'll move through a series of slow, fluid movements, including gentle lunges, forward folds, and hip openers, all designed to awaken the body and release any stiffness or tension. We will be doing some standing poses and sometimes in a slow pace move through a few sun salutations or warrior poses that can be adapted to your current energy levels or abilities.

Throughout the class, we'll focus on the breath, using it to deepen our connection with our bodies and cultivate a sense of calm and focus. We'll also incorporate some gentle meditation and breathing exercises, to help us stay centered but also build energy as we move through the class.

These classes are perfect for anyone who wants to improve their energy levels and flexibility. Whether you are a morning person or not, these classes will really help you start off the weekend mindfully and energised.
