Each yoga class usually commences with a short relaxation, bringing awareness to the body and breath. We then proceed with a range of postures and stretches (asanas) according to the class type/level, moving each part of the body to relieve tension, develop flexibility and build the strength of muscles and joints.

Asanas will also influence the organs, glands and nervous system, and so improve your overall health, wellbeing and state of mind. A short relaxation completes the physical element of the class, followed by pranayama (breath techniques) and meditation. We conclude the practice by chanting OM and making a positive dedication for the benefit of all.

Restorative Yoga

The Restorative Yoga class is open to everyone and is a very slow and relaxing class. These classes utilise physical postures and gentle exercises, breathing techniques and meditation from the system Yoga in Daily Life® (YIDL) to activate the relaxation response of the parasympathetic nervous system, which leads to better release of mental stress and physical tension and allows for the body's natural healing processes to function.

Yoga Nidra Relaxation & Meditation

ONLINE | Friday 6.30 - 7.30pm

Give yourself the bliss of winding down at the end of the week with the deep physical and mental relaxation experienced in Yoga Nidra. This technique involves lying down on the back for a progressive body scan - cushions and blankets are provided for warmth and support. An additional bonus of the practice is that it enables you to access your subconscious, connect with inner motivations and manifest positive intentions, by using a sankalpa or resolve. We finish with a short peaceful seated meditation - sitting in a chair or up in bed is fine for those who cannot sit comfortably on the floor, after all you are in the comfort of your own home. This class is suitable for all and particularly recommended for those in a healing process.
