Sustainable Flow Yoga Class: Creating a strong, stable practice.

Tailored Yoga for the hypermobile, the super bendy & the injured.

Monday at 7:30 - 8:45pm with Leonora

This class is open to all, but is especially designed for the hyper mobile, the super bendy and the injured who wish to create or maintain a longevous, sustainable Yoga practice.

As a recovering hypermobile myself, during my 32 year personal practise, I've learnt (the hard way) how to adapt and create a more supportive way of doing Yoga, which incidentally has made me a lot stronger! As a teacher, over the years I've seen a great many people (especially women and fellow Yoga teachers) drawn to Yoga precisely because of their hyper mobility, unaware that a certain way of moving is not only unsustainable but could lead to long term joint instability and/or injury. But we can turn this situation to our advantage, becoming stronger, more self aware, and increasing our movement repertoire and choices. In this way our Yoga can accompany us throughout our whole lives.

Using slow, strong, conscious movement, with attention to detail, this class aims to develop stability and strength, to clarify and improve healthy ranges of motion and joint stability through proprioception, increased movement repertoire and choice through new and different ways of moving, as well including movements to favour the circulation of synovial fluid to help keep joints supple. This could be a stand alone practice or support your current practice, whatever style of Yoga or sport that may be.

Suitable for all levels. Previous experience with Yoga, Pilates, Martial Arts, Dance or Gymnastics is advisable. Please note this is a Flow class. It is not gentle Yoga.

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 Krama Vinyasa Flow Yoga Class

We are starting a weekly Krama Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Vicky from Saturday 29th September at 11:30am - 12:45pm.

Kramic technique is also known as step-by step approach and suitable for all levels of students. In this class students will be encouraged to explore and gradually expand their edges in a integrated and fun manner working with asana, pranayama and relaxation techniques.  

This is a new donation based community class and you can pay what you can afford. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds.

Everyone welcome!!

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.
