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

Which 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 who wants to balance strength and flexibility. Whether you feel limited by your body or are active somewhere else and want more holistic movement aimed at recovery and wellbeing.

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 & age groups – especially beginners & anyone with anxiety or physical obstacles
Great for improving mobility and joint health

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.

For this class bring your mat, a blanket and/or a pillow (if you don't have your own, email me and I will bring it for you)

Suitable for all levels & age groups – especially beginners & anyone with anxiety or physical obstacles
Great for improving mental wellbeing and physical recovery
