Hatha YogaThis classical form of yoga uses a combination of conscious breath and physical postures to help relieve stress, improve flexibility and calm the mind.
The class is slow-ish paced and each pose can be modified to suit every body type and ability so the class can be as "easy" or as "challenging" as you want it to be that day!
Whether you're an experienced Yogi or an absolute beginner, try a Hatha practice to connect to your body, your breath, the present moment, and to restore balance in your day.

Restorative YogaThis deeply relaxing floor based practice offers a different experience to most styles of yoga; most are active with poses flowing into one another, but Restorative is passive, so no effort is required on your part.
You can be in a pose for 5, 10 or even 20 minutes! During this time you are held in the shape, completely supported by props.
Being fully supported with no tension brings the nervous system to a place of healing, relaxes the muscles and allows the body to feel safe and comfortable enough to release tension and patterns of holding.
Restorative Yoga is suitable for all levels and is ideal for people with injuries, chronic pain, or limited mobility, or if you find it difficult to be still and relax, then this is the practice you need!

"When we are held, we can let go" |
"We do not use the body to get into a pose; we use the pose to get into the body." |
Yin YogaThis practice targets the deeper connective tissues of the body. Yin yoga places a healthy stress on the joints and tissues which may result in a 'stretch' sensation.
Yin has similarities with restorative yoga in that they're both passive, you're usually in a post for a long time, both are floor based and both use props; the differences of these two practices are felt within the body and mind.
Whereas restorative yoga aims to release tension, Yin yoga looks for the place of significant resistance. Yin yoga takes you within the sensations of your body and allows you to play with the edges of your resistance, finding comfort in the discomfort. Suitable for all levels, even beginners!

Yoga NidraYoga Nidra means yogic sleep or psychic sleep. It begins with guided meditation and brings you to a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping.
It's a form of active meditation, it may look like you're sleeping but really your consciousness is operating at a deep level of awareness. During the practice every part of the body becomes relaxed, helping reduce tension, fatigue, anxiety and stress.
It's said that one hour of Yoga Nidra results in the same restful benefits as four-hours of sleep!

Chair YogaThis gentle form of Yoga is done seated on a chair or standing on the ground while using a chair for support.
Chair Yoga offers the same benefits as traditional yoga e.g. building strength, increasing flexibility, and improving mental wellbeing.
Perfect for office workers, seniors, those with limited mobility, injuries, or anyone wanting a gentle slow practice.
