Classes:
SWEAT HOT
Our Hot classes are based on the classic 90 minute sequence of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises ( ‘the 26 and 2’), known as Bikram Yoga. The series is designed to work your whole body from the inside out. Work at your own level of intensity. For anyone who is sick or injured this practice is the first place we encourage you to come. This style is very therapeutic. Each class follows the same sequence of postures allowing you to concentrate on developing alignment and form as you come to understand and appreciate your body and Yourself as never before. Choose from either the 60 minute or 90 minute duration. For beginners, don’t be put off by the slightly longer class as this can be just what you need to grow in your understanding of the postures. For our Hot classes, the room is heated to a balmy 38 degrees. SWEAT POWER
Power Vinyasa has been described as “the perfect blend of sweat and serenity”. In this style of yoga, the poses are linked together by connective momentum or flow. The practice starts with several rounds of sun salutations, getting the blood pumping and breath flowing, and generating internal heat to melt away tension. We then move into a variety of other postures designed to increase vital energy, and provide a sense of groundedness and balance. Move through the postures with a steady, rhythmic breath, matching your breath to the movement. As you develop your proficiency in this practice, you will find that you move out of your head and into your body, cultivating a meditative frame of mind. For our Power Vinyasa classes we heat the room to around a cosy 32 degrees. SWEAT YIN
Yin is the perfect balance to our other ‘yang’ styles of yoga. A subtle but profound practice, Yin is an opportunity to develop inner awareness. With deliciously long holds of 3 minutes or more, these restorative poses will open the thicker layers of connective tissues around the joints, unravelling areas of tension that a dynamic yoga practice can not always access. Get super comfy with the support of blocks, bolsters and pillows and sink into your practice. Refine the observation of your feelings without identifying them, as you move into stillness, deep relaxation and serenity. Come and create space for yourself, in both body and mind.
