These classes are a creative exploration of the body. They are gentle and open to all levels of experience and all bodies. Designed to help everyone dive deeper into what their bodies are capable of. Taking the body through its full range of movement, building strength and resilience right at the end of the comfort zone which will help that zone expand.

During the class, we will often slow down, bring focus to a particular joint or muscle for maximum awareness and effect. There will also be moments of free exploration where we bring focus to our own body, experimenting where our limits and abilities lie, rebalance muscles, tendons and joints for a harmonious body that we enjoy moving and using.

Whilst not being a fitness class, these classes will focus on strengthening joints and small muscles, so you might feel a little bit sore (the good kind) the next few days.

Some fitness and body awareness can be helpful, but not necessary to be able to fully enjoy and safely move through the poses.

Perfect for anyone wanting to become more mobile, loosen tight joints and feel freer in their body.

Restorative yoga is slow, postures are held for 5-10 minutes each. This allows full relaxation both physically and mentally. The poses are chosen in a way to maximise restoration.

Calming the nervous system impacts the whole body, including the digestive system, blood circulation, hormones as well as our mental health. When we teach our body how to relax in restorative yoga we can use that knowledge to help us fall asleep easier or to calm down in stressful situations.

This type of yoga is beneficial for all body types, ages and experiences. Whether you are generally a very active person who has trouble switching off, or someone who struggles with your body. This class is usually the most popular one as the benefits are extraordinary and can be felt straight away.

A slower-paced class, designed for recovery and mobilisation. By moving the body in a gentle way we improve our body awareness.

This leads to a better understanding of how the body works, how small changes can have a big effect. Both in the way that our back feels when we are in the office as well as our stride when we are running for example. Improved body awareness also leads to a better understanding of our emotions, such as when we are hungry/full, tired and need rest or tired and need a walk.

These classes are perfect for anyone looking to ease tensions, both physical and mental, we will gently loosen the body and de-stress the mind. Whether you feel limited by your body or are active somewhere else and want more holistic movement aimed at recovery and wellbeing.

Start the new year calmer, more flexible and in tune with your body!

The courses I run work a little differently to my other weekly classes, you will sign up for the whole course. The class for the course are held weekly and each class in the course will build on the previous one.

During the weeks of the course, all participants are welcome to come to any of my other classes in Wivelsfield Church hall at no extra cost (booking is essential). Payment occurs at the time of booking and is binding.

I remember the first time I stepped into a yoga studio, I was everything but relaxed and comfortable. And even though I enjoyed it, it still took two more months of doing yoga at home on an uncomfortable carpet before I was brave enough to have another go in a class.
So the point of this course is to make you feel more comfortable, knowing that everyone is at the same level. This way we can also practice safely, focusing on what is important in alignment and breath without complicating everything.
Because it is not just a weekly running class but a whole course you sign up to, we will progress every week focusing on different aspects of yoga. 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 does, how and when to use it.

The course will among other things include
- Introduction to various different yoga poses and the meaning for doing them (physically and mentally)
- Increase flexibility and core strength
- Improve body awareness
- Learning about what causes back pain and what to do about it
- Simple, personalized cues for alignment where the goal is to feel good in a pose and avoid injuries
- How the breath affects the way we feel, emotionally and physically
- The goal of the course is to find out what yoga is for you and how you can practice in a way that suits you and your body and goals.

The price is £60 for the 6 weeks and as mentioned above this gives you free entry to any of my other weekly classes during the course. Payment occurs at the time of booking and is non-refundable.
