The Vinyasa Flow classes are a creative exploration of the body. Taking the body through its full range of movement, building strength and resilience right at the end of the comfort zone will help it expand.

During the class there will be moments where we 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, experiment 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 be more physically demanding and require some fitness and body awareness beforehand to be able to fully enjoy and safely move through the poses.

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 starts off in a similar style to the other gentle flow classes. Moving in a way that feels good in the body, stretches out commonly tight muscles and preparing us for the meditation part by making sure the body feels as comfortable as possible.

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.

We finish the class with different types of breathing and mindfulness exercises and/or guided meditations. These can all be done seated or lying down so bring a blanket to sit on or to wrap around you to stay warm and comfortable.

Join us for another nourishing evening designed to release tension and improve relaxation. This class will be really gentle and done by candle light, following the guidance of my voice and your body’s wisdom. Bring pillows, blankets & your PJ’s.

Restorative yoga is an amazing practice designed to fully relax, nurture and restore the nervous system, which in turn affect every other system in the body, circulatory system (blood and heart), digestive system, respiratory system (breath and lungs), endocrine system (hormones) and so on.

In restorative yoga we hold each pose for several minutes and aim to be completely comfortable throughout. This allows the poses to work deeply and support the body in the process of relaxing, slowing down and de-stressing.

The last part of the class is the sound bath, using crystal singing bowls to help induce a meditative and healing state for the body. Lying in stillness and letting the sound waves wash over the body is a magical experience which I cannot explain well enough in words, so I highly recommend coming to try it for yourself.

We will then finish off with some tea and snacks before entering the rest of our weekend feeling blissed out.

These two hours will be suitable for:
- all levels including complete beginners of yoga
- all ages from teenagers and up
- all abilities, no fitness or flexibility required

It’s a mini retreat, you’ll emerge feeling well-rested and refreshed.

Bring your own mat, block, bolster/pillow, blanket and eye pillow if you have, message me if not and we will sort it out.
Cosy clothes and warm socks encouraged.

It is £30 for the evening
or £50 for two friends

Winter Beach Yoga & Sea Swim

We will meet at Tide Mills car park (in between Newhaven and Seaford, you will receive exact directions upon booking) and then wander over to the spot together.

The yoga class will be 45 minutes and held next to the beach.
We will focus on stretching out the large muscles and getting the circulation going in the body to prepare us for the following swim. In the winter the class will be a little bit more energising so we stay warm, but with plenty of options to accommodate all levels and abilities.

The swim itself is completely optional and you are more than welcome to just sit on the beach and enjoy the hot tea and breakfast snacks provided!

Price: £10

Payment is required at time of booking to secure your place.

More info about where we will meet, what to bring and my best Swedish tips on how to stay warm etc will be sent out once you book.

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

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)
