Yin & Yang Yoga class

New weekly Yin & Yang yoga class starting Wednesday 3rd October with Tash from 7:30 -8:45pm. This class interweaves the clarifying energy of yang to the rejuvenating qualities of yin. The combination of passive (yin) and vigorous (yang) yoga practices, is rooted in the idea that, in order to create balance in your overall practice, it is necessary to alternately exert and quiet yourself. We will begin by moving through strong dynamic postures, and end with a deeply immersive yin practice, where postures are held for longer periods. 

It’s intelligently designed to leave you feeling calm, grounded and centred, having a powerful effect on your energy systems building stability and mobility through asana, pranayama and deep relaxation.  Each week we will focus on a theme varying from joints and body parts to working through chakras.   

Everybody is welcome to the class as Tash can cater for all levels through modifications and intelligent use of props. 

New Monday Evening Yin Yoga class

We have a new Monday evening Yin yoga class starting next Monday from 21st May 2018. This class is suitable for all levels of experience. Come and restore your body's energetic balance and find a greater sense of calm through Yin Yoga.

Yin Yoga classes are designed with specialised poses that are held for longer periods of time,  working your ligaments, joints, bones and deep networks of fascia within the body. Through a Yin practice we aim to balance the active, external and dynamic Yang activities of daily life with a more internal, grounding and calming practice, surrendering to stillness. Yin Yoga helps to improve flexibility, circulation and joint mobility as well as reducing stress and anxiety. 

Every Monday from 7:30 - 8:30pm. We accept MoveGB students! Contact Katie for more information. 

New Pilates Class

We are adding two new Pilates classes soon as all our existing Pilates classes are so popular!  Jo Batten will be teaching on the following times:

• Monday 2:45 - 3:30pm starting from 9th April

• Friday 12:45 - 1:30pm starting from 13th April

Jo's Pilates classes pay particular attention to the details of each exercise, every movement is deliberate and considered to maximise its effectiveness and minimise unnecessary effort and tension. In addition everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace and in a way that best supports them. 

The overall aim of the class is to help improve balance in the body; releasing muscles that tend to overwork (for example the shoulders and lower back) and strengthening the often less used weaker muscles, particularly those that support the joints.

Get in touch with Jo to book your space. Fees will be £1 cheaper than our day rate as this is a 45 minute class. See here for details on our prices. The classes will also be available on MoveGB!

Yoga for Balance Workshop

After the success of yoga for relaxation and stress relief workshop, I have decided to schedule another yoga workshop. The next workshop will be on balance and I will shortly be posting a new blog on this topic too.

The workshop will cover postures, breathing practice, relaxation techniques and meditation. We will take a look at the philosophy of the five points of yoga and explore how to create a balanced yoga practice. This workshop will allow you more time than usual to delve into your yoga practice more deeply.  Everyone is welcome including beginners and more experienced students.
