Body balance Yoga

Hatha Yoga

If you have never tried yoga before this is a great place to start, and for those who enjoy a less strenuous practice a great practice to stay with. Despite being a more relaxed class you will still gain the benefits of creating strength while increasing your flexibility!

Hatha yoga aims to harmonise body, mind and spirit. The classes draw on the classical Hatha yoga postures which help to build strength and stamina, also focus on the alignment of the body whilst adding an element of flow. Pranayama (breath work) and meditation are also key to the practice and help to bring balance to the breath and the mind.

Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa means “breath-synchronized movement”. Vinyasa (or flow) yoga consist of a serie of poses that will move you through the power of inhaling and exhaling.

Vinyasa movements are smoothly flowing and almost dance-like. It is a style of yoga characterized by stringing posture together so that you move from one to another connecting movement with breath. The variable nature of Vinyasa Yoga helps to develop a more balanced body as well as preventing repetitive motion injuries that can happen if you are always doing the same things every day. Vinyasa classes are often quite dynamic, which requires the mind to stay focused in the present. The practice itself is like a moving meditation.

Aerial Yoga

Aerial yoga is a type of yoga which uses a hammock or yoga swing to allow students to perform postures that they may not ordinarily be able to attempt on the yoga mat. It is often also referred to as flying yoga.

Exercises include acrobatic elements – fliping yourself upside down releases pressure on your spine. Let gravity do its work. Our Aerial teachers will mainly teach gentle stretching, some core work and how to safely do the inversions.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a slow practice of well-supported seated and supine postures, encouraging softness and nourishment. Each posture is held for 3 to 5 minutes to gently relax and stretch deep muscles and tissue.

These sustained holds offer us the opportunity to slow down and stay with what is, moment by moment, breath by breath. The meditative Yin Yoga practice can lead to a sense of greater harmony and peace in life, more ease in body and mind, and a deeper sense of balance. Feelings of calmness, acceptance and gratitude may arise.

Moon Yoga

Gentle, calming and grounding evening practice, perfect for a well deserved rest after an exhausting day. Our Moon Yoga classes are usually a mix between Vinyasa and Yin: we flow, but not as fast as in Vinyasa, and we relax, but we don’t hold the poses as long as during Yin. It is is a quiet practice, where you really listen to your body and mind.
