About Our Yoga Classes
Gentle vinyasa flow yoga classes consist of a sequence of poses, bridged together by slow movement to stretch and strengthen the body; it can feel like you flow through the entire class. The breath is harmonised with the movements so that both body and breath can come into union. The movements of a gentle flow yoga practice are less vigorous and intense than a traditional vinyasa flow class.
Restorative yoga classes are about nourishment, self-love and releasing musculoskeletal tension. This class incorporates props like bolsters, blankets and eye pillows to make you completely comfortable so you can relax deeply. Similar to yin, asanas (poses) are held for long periods in restorative yoga. It is different from yin in that you are encouraged to hold poses without experiencing discomfort. Restorative yoga is suitable for beginners.
“Ha” means sun, “ta” means moon. “Hatha” means the yoga to bring balance between the sun and the moon energies in us; it is a calling to a perfect balance between body and consciousness. Hatha yoga classes are a blend of short-hold static poses, breathing techniques like pranayama and meditative practices.
Yin yoga classes are a beautiful way to gently stretch out muscles and connective tissues and practice mindfulness meditation. Yin yoga postures are often simple, beginner-friendly and supported with yoga props like blocks, straps and bolsters. As you hold these long and gentle postures, you will be guided to place your awareness on your breath, to witness the sensations of your stretching muscles and then to observe your own reactions to them.
