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

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

Starting 4th of January

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.

There is another beginner course starting on Saturday the 21st, these will run separately of each other and you can't swap in between them.

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)

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.
