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!

We now offer Therapeutic Yoga class on Tuesday morning from 10:00 - 11:00am with Josie. 

This class would be suitable for people with injuries, returning to yoga after a break, wanting to improve energy levels, improve sleep, reduce pain, lessen worry, irritability, feel happier, reduce stress levels or simply have the desire to find space to slow down.

Josie completed a 500 hour advanced yoga teacher training, registered with IYN, at Yogasara Academy in Bristol. She qualified as a yoga Nidra teacher with Total Yoga Nidra in London and is currently undertaking a two year course in Yoga Therapy for mental health  with the Minded Institute.
