I call these classes 'Holistic Yoga', because health is multi-faceted with our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual states interweaving and having effect on each other. In my classes I intend to integrate all the layers, supporting your complete wellbeing.
I incorporate aspects of Yoga Therapy, Ayurveda and somatic learning into each class, and create dynamic sequences and offers for adjustments and your own modifications.
Whilst I offer support throughout each class, I emphasize the need for all participants to respond appropriately to their bodies cues and to adjust as they see fit.
Slow and Restore Yoga Class
Tuesdays 5.00 -6.15pm
This class starts with gentle asana and mindful movement, followed by deep stretching yin poses, followed by comfortably supported active rest (restorative) yoga. Then in a comfortable nest of bolsters and blankets, you will be supported to deeply relax.
This class delivers a thorough but simpler, floor-based yoga practice, that is suitable for those recovering from injury, returning to yoga or exercise or if a less intense form of yoga practice is needed.
Strength and Mobility Yoga Class
Thursdays 5.00 - 6.10pm
These classes consist of both static and dynamic asana, intended to create strength, flexibility and playfulness. The practice is a combination of invigoration, challenge, restoring physiological balance, relaxation and breathwork.
The class is suitable for most people of moderate fitness and mobility (although please contact me if you are a complete beginner or you have an injury), with poses at gentle to moderate intensity and modifications offered to match your level of practice.
