New Mindfulness Meditation Class

We are starting a new Mindfulness Meditation class from Wednesday 3rd October 10-11am with Naomi. This is a donation based class and you can pay what you can afford. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds (suggested donation is £5).

We will practice mindfulness meditation, gentle yoga stretches, breathing and relaxation techniques. The focus will be on meditation but we will explore yoga techniques to learn how to sit comfortably and steadily. All levels of students welcome including beginners. 

Please try and book in advance if possible and wear comfortable clothes. 

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 Hatha Yoga Class

We are starting a new Thursday evening Hatha Yoga Class with Amber from 19th April 2018.  This class is suitable everyone including beginners and more advanced students. 

Amber's Hatha yoga classes draws influence from meditative restorative yoga and will use some stronger poses to help bring focus into the present moment. You will be working with pranayama (breathing techniques) and students will be encouraged to tap into their own breath to enable them to feel more deeply into physical postures. Whether you are new to yoga, a regular yogi, or have not been to a session in years, this class is open to all. 

Drop in students and MoveGB users welcome! Concessionary rates (NHS workers included) are available.

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!
