Description
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

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.

Description
Start your Sunday with movement, nature and sea air. These weekly outdoor yoga sessions take place at Tide Mills beach, between Seaford and Newhaven (BN25 2RT), on a quiet spot of flat ground just back from the pebbles—where we will be more comfortable and balanced.
The class is open to all levels and will gently stretch and awaken the body. We’ll focus on releasing tension in the larger muscles, improve circulation, and supporting the nervous system through breath-led movement.
Being outdoors is its own kind of medicine. The space, natural light, fresh air, and contact with the ground all help regulate the body and mind. Beyond the well-known benefits of stretching and movement, practising yoga outdoors helps calm the nervous system, supports joint mobility, and invites us to reconnect with the rhythms of nature—and offers a rare moment to gaze out at the horizon—so good for our screen-tired eyes.
After class, there’s the option to swim. The sea in the UK is always refreshing but oh so invigorating, whether you dip your toes or go all in. The benefits of cold water are well known, but include energy lifting, improving circulation, and building resilience—simply being in the sea offers a sense of reset.
We end the morning together with tea and light breakfast snacks, enjoying the view and a sense of ease from time well spent.
Price: £10

The pace of the class is deliberately slow and gentle, allowing you to move with ease and to focus on your breath and body sensations. We stay close to the ground, with none or few standing poses. All poses can be changed and adapted if you, for example, need to stay off your hands or your knees.
By slowing down we get a chance to really feel what is going on and focus on alignment which allows for a safer and more comfortable practice. It helps improve our body awareness which has benefits extending far into our normal life off the yoga mat as well.
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)

Description
The restorative yoga classes focuses on relaxation, rest, and rejuvenation. Unlike other forms of yoga, which may involve dynamic movement and strenuous poses, restorative yoga emphasises slowing down and letting go of tension in the body and mind. We hold the positions for several minutes to maximise restoration.
During a restorative yoga class, we typically use props such as bolsters, blankets, blocks, and straps to support our bodies in comfortable and passive positions. The poses are designed to promote deep relaxation, release muscle tension, and quiet the mind.
I, Ylva, may guide you through breathing exercises and meditation throughout the class to help you deepen your relaxation. The pace of the class is slow and steady, and the emphasis is on being present in the moment and tuning into the body's sensations.
Restorative yoga classes are suitable for all levels of experience, including beginners, as the poses are gentle and accessible. They can be especially helpful for those experiencing stress, anxiety, or physical discomfort, as they offer a space for relaxation and restoration.
For this class bring your mat, a blanket and a pillow or bolster (if you don't have your own, email me and I will bring it for you).

Description
We will meet at Tide Mills car park, BN25 2RT (in between Newhaven and Seaford, you will receive exact directions upon booking) roughly 10 minutes before the start time and then wander over to the spot together.
We have a spot of flat ground for the yoga just back from the pebbly beach, where we will be more comfortable and balanced.
Focus will lie on stretching out the large muscles and getting the circulation going in the body to prepare us for the following swim. The pace of the class will wary slightly depending on the weather. If it is cold and cloudy we will focus on warming up and energising a bit more, but with plenty of options to accommodate all levels and abilities. Whilst if its hot and sunny we may slow it down and soak up the rays to not overheat.
We move through a series of stretches and poses, feeling our bodies awaken and our breath deepen. Our movements will be slow and intentional, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the present moment and nature.
After our yoga practice, there is the option to take a dip in the sea, the cool, salty water washing away any remaining tension or stress. Feeling invigorated by the energy of the sea, it is impossible to not be present, noticing the body coming alive with sensations when being submerged in cold water.
These yoga classes at Tide Mills beach is a wonderful way to connect with nature, rejuvenate your body and mind, and start your day with a sense of calm and gratitude.
Price: £7
Payment is required at time of booking to secure your place.

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.

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.
