Safe & Supported Backbends: Strength, Breath & Awareness

In this series of classes, we are exploring backbends safely, mindfully, and with respect for your body. Backbends can be deeply energising and uplifting, but they work best when approached with awareness rather than force. This practice isn’t about how deep you go, it’s about how supported, strong, and spacious you feel as you move.

A few students have recently shared that they’ve noticed compression or lower-back pain when practising backbends, especially in stronger or faster paced classes. This class offers a chance to slow things down, rebuild supportive patterns, and explore backbends in a way that feels kinder to the spine.

Preparation is key
Each session includes thorough warm-ups for the spine, hips, shoulders, and chest, helping your body feel ready to move safely and with ease.

Stability before depth
You’ll be guided to engage the core and create length through the spine before bending back, protecting the lower back and building strength and control.

A whole-spine approach
Rather than compressing one area, we focus on opening the front body and sharing the movement evenly through the spine, creating space through the chest and upper back.

Breath-led movement
Breath guides every shape. You’ll be encouraged to move with steady, comfortable breathing, softening whenever the body asks for it.

This class is suitable for all levels, with options and modifications offered so you can move in a way that feels right for your body, leaving you feeling open, energised, and grounded.

Cultivating Inner Warmth

As the winter chill sets in, we naturally crave warmth—both physical and emotional.

Yoga offers a beautiful way to generate that inner heat, awakening energy and vitality from within.

In Ayurveda, Agni (our inner fire) fuels digestion, metabolism, and immunity. When it burns bright, we feel energised, balanced, and alive

This term we’ll explore the Fire Element and Manipura (Solar Plexus) Chakra — through twists, core work, and gentle heart-openers to ignite your inner spark

Final theme of the year – “Cultivating Inner Warmth”

Join us for 1 class or all 5 as we flow towards Christmas

10 Nov – 14 Dec
Tuesdays, Exminster — 5:45–6:45 pm
Wednesdays, Topsham — 5:30–6:30 pm

Mini Restorative Retreat - Next Sunday

A 2-hour journey into deep rest and renewal

A retreat is a time to step back from daily life to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself.

This 2-hour restorative yoga class is your mini retreat: 1.5 hours of deeply supported yoga to soothe the body and calm the mind, followed by 30 minutes to simply chill on your mat with a herbal tea and a sweet treat.

Through gentle supported postures, stillness, and conscious rest, you’ll invite your nervous system to soften and your energy to rebalance. With bolsters, blankets, and quiet time to simply be, you’ll leave feeling grounded, clear, and deeply restored.

Think of it as a two-hour sanctuary — a pause from the pace of everyday life and a reminder that rest is not a luxury, but a necessity.

Perfect for nurturing yourself as the seasons shift and energy turns inward.

Next Sunday, Exminster
£20 per class

Expansion lives in the balance of opposing forces

Every stretch is created by opposites.
- To reach forward, we must root back.
- To rise, we must ground.
- To expand outward, we must draw inward.

It’s within this dance of opposing forces that space is born. Not conflict, but harmony, each direction giving meaning to the other. Just as inhale shapes exhale, or light defines shadow, yoga reminds us that wholeness arises when opposites move together.

Over the next five weeks, we’ll explore this duality, discovering how opposing forces open the body into spaciousness and balance.

Join me:
Tuesday, 5:45–6:45pm, Victory Hall, Exminster
Wednesday, 5:30–6:30pm, Kiva & Zen Studios, Topsham
