  • Vinyasa

    Our most popular style - a dynamic practice with no two classes ever being the same!

    Flow creatively from one position to the next with movements subtly linked by your breath - a sure way to take you out of your head and into your body whilst building muscle strength and flexibility.

    Expect to find a combination of standing, balancing and seated postures, some pranayama (breath work) and challenging sections, but with options and modifications offered for all abilities. This practice is energizing and fun!

  • Gentle Hatha

    A gentle practice with focus on both standing and seated positions, alignment and pranayama (breath).

    Static positions are often held for a little longer than a Vinyasa flow and although gentle, Hatha can still be physically and mentally challenging.

  • Hatha

    Static positions are often held for a little longer than a Vinyasa flow bringing a physical and mental challenge.

    Hatha is great for beginners upwards and is sure to leave you feeling a sense of peace in both body and mind.

  • Ashtanga

    Ashtanga is an energizing, athletic flow that combines strength, flexibility, stamina and the synchronisation of breath and movement for a well-rounded practice.

    Similar in style to Vinyasa, although more structured with a set sequence that is often followed.

  • Power Vinyasa

  • Slow Flow & Restore

    Move with softness, with intention and attention in our Slow Flow and Restore. This practice has origins in a Vinyasa style yet is stripped back and slowed down to allow for deeper connection.

    Taking your time, you will flow from one position to the next, giving you the chance to truly feel and enjoy each pose and its effects. With a restorative element, this practice is the ultimate relaxation; an opportunity to slow down, take time for you and come back to yourself. Expect to find a mix of standing and seated postures.

  • Yin

    Time to slow down and surrender. A Yin Yoga class will take you through a series of seated positions which are held for a longer period (anywhere from 2-5 minutes).

    This time of seated stillness gives opportunity to harness your breath, bringing you back to the present moment when the mind naturally wanders, yet also aids in accessing the deeper connective tissues (ligaments, fascia) as the body relaxes, increasing both flexibility and joint mobility.

    A practice sure to leave you feeling a little more open and relaxed, in both body and mind.
