New Living Yoga Method class with Maria

Maria Benazzo is starting a new Living Yoga Method (LYM) class from Thursday 7:30 - 8:30pm 19th May.

Maria is a qualified Living Yoga Method teacher, currently studying Advanced LYM Teacher Training to further cultivate her interest in breath work and deepen her understanding of the associated mental and physical benefits.

The Living Yoga Method is a branch of Hatha Yoga. Its creator, Steve Harrison, spent two decades researching, exploring and distilling what he learnt from his Master while in Rishikesh, India at the foothills of the Himalayas. The result is a practice that provides the tools to a happy and satisfying life that anyone can learn and integrate into their lives, therefore the name living yoga.

We’re currently offering 50% off for your first class for our new classes, so you can take advantage of this great offer and find out for yourself what LYM class is like!

New Yoga Class with Nicola

Breathe, Move and Release

Release body, mind and recharge your whole system at the weekly yoga class with Nicola Percy starting Wednesday 20th April from 6-7pm. At the moment, we’re offering 50% off your first class so come and try our new classes.

Nicola is a very experienced and fully qualified teacher so you’ll be well looked after wether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner. She draws inspiration from classical, modern and functional yoga to teach Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and Nidra classes.

Connect from the inside out with a gentle warm-up leading to well-crafted sequences of asanas. Centre yourself with yoga breathing techniques and meditation. Explore how yoga works both on and off the mat.

New Vinyasa Flow Yoga

New weekly lunchtime Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Alice starting from 1:00 - 2:00pm on Wednesday 12th January 2022.

Alice has been practicing yoga since 2011 and is an accredited yoga teacher and yoga therapist, having completed over 900 hours of training. Alice discovered yoga in her early 20s and was immediately attracted to the physicality of asana, which allowed her to cultivate a sense of appreciation and acceptance of her body.

Alice believes yoga is for everybody and this is reflected in her teaching through the use of permissive language, props and offering options and variations. Alice always shares a variety of yogic tools in order for you to enjoy a well rounded practice. She encourages her students to work mindfully by guiding you towards a deeper listening and understanding of yourself.

Suitable for all levels of students including beginners.

Lynne Fugard will be taking over Wednesday lunchtime class 12-1pm from 9th September.

This is an uplifting lunchtime flow to ease into the body, stimulate the nervous system, deepen the breath, and focus the mind. Each week, we explore a joyful, creative sequence of movements that spiral through the body’s full range of motion with grace, ease, intention and curiosity.

Lynne enjoys practising and has completed extensive training in vinyasa, mandala, rocket, mindfulness meditation, and yin yoga, and brings aspects of all of these styles to her classes.
