Hatha Yoga is a class that combines yoga postures, pranayama exercises, meditation and relaxation. The practice will help you to develop strength and flexibility within the body whilst also improving mental relaxation. Hatha classes are provide a balanced combination of sustained poses with attention to alignment and therapeutic benefits.
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga that consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body. An asana can be held for up to 5 minutes sometimes even longer. Yin yoga can deepen the flexibility and elasticity of your connective tissues and bring more mobility and lubrication to stiff joints. It can help to release stored emotions that are held within the body which can help to relieve stress and anxiety.
Slow Flow Yoga is a combination of hatha, vinyasa and somatics yoga combined. A fluid practice that invites you to connect with what you’re feeling and moving in a way that is in harmony with your body.
Hatha Flow is a class that combines both hatha yoga and vinyasa yoga.
Pregnancy Yoga. This class is for expectant mums once they have entered the second trimester. In the class you will practice yoga poses, pranayama exercises and learn some exercises to help you with childbirth.
Vinyasa Yoga is a class where yoga poses flow from one yoga pose to another. It’s a fluid practice that moves with the breath.
