Types of Classes

The basic/beginner classes are for those beginning their yoga journey or for students wanting to deepen their practice and their connection to Self.  These classes focus on stretching and gaining flexibility of the body while calming the mind through the breath and relaxation.

This basic/gentle class focuses on awareness and a more meditative approach to yoga. There is less emphasis on precise body postures and more on adapting to suit the individual’s body with its unique strengths and weaknesses. The class is suitable for people who have had little or no exposure to yoga, as well as those with physical and/or psychological issues, provided they remain under the care and supervision of their medical or other professional health practitioner. As this class is a quiet, slow approach it can be helpful for those experiencing stress, anxiety, burnout, etc. Once a month (on the first Thursday of each month) a Yin Yoga class is presented. This encourages relaxation in postures, often with the help of props. Postures are held for a longer period and quiet internalisation of awareness is encouraged.

This Yin yoga class focuses on awareness and a more meditative approach to yoga. Yin yoga postures apply moderate stress on the connective tissues of the body, the tendons, fascia and ligaments. The aim is to increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility, assisting the body as it ages.Item description

This Yin-Yang Yoga class blends two styles of yoga into one practice – bringing together the benefits of passively holding yoga poses (a slower practice) with more dynamic sequences and standing postures (working on the muscles to build strength, stamina and flexibility). “The practice of yin/yang yoga helps us learn about stillness in movement and the flow in stillness.” - Sarah Powers

This Intermediate class is configured to the attending students whom have had Yoga experience before and can do the more challenging poses with a good level of understanding of yoga, the philosophy behind it and listening to their body.
