Dear all practitioners - our updated class schedule from February onwards (until next notice) 🙃🙂🙏
Class description
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa Yoga is a free flowing style of yoga. While each teacher will bring a slightly different style of vinyasa to the class, it generally means we will practice linking our breath with the movement of our body as we move through our yoga poses with seamless transition and conscious awareness. This practice is focused towards generating internal heat, energy and challenging ourselves physically and mentally.
In a Vinyasa class you can expect to challenge yourself with standing postures, balance poses and twists. You’ll be given options for backbends, inversions and core work and cooled down with hip openers, forward bends and supine postures. You’ll enjoy a luscious Savasana before heading out into the world relaxed and energized!
We offer both Vinyasa for beginners and Power Vinyasa for intermediate level.
----------
Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga is the mother of all yoga, all other styles of yoga stem from the traditional practice of Hatha Yoga. Hatha yoga is traditionally a set of physical poses and sequences designed to prepare the mind and body and nervous system for meditation. By practicing Hatha yoga we are slowly working with the physical body to allow seated meditation more comfortable, we are working with the mind to make mental stillness and clarity more attainable and we are working with the energetic channels of the body to remove blockages and allow energy to flow freely.
A Hatha Yoga class will include some type of breathing exercise (pranayama), a number of standing, sitting and lying postures and stretches and a short final meditation. You should end the class feeling longer, looser and more relaxed.
We provide both hatha yoga for beginners and classes for all levels.
----------
Evening Yoga Flow
Evening yoga flow classes are a mix of Vinyasa and hatha yoga. There will be periods of free flowing sequences where we connect our movement to our breath. We will be taking space and time to explore our bodies in the poses working towards enhancing our strength, flexibility, balance. There will also be periods of slowing down, releasing tension that has built up in the body throughout the day and calming the body and the mind preparing us for a nice restful and rejuvenating sleep.
----------
Yin Yoga
Do you sometimes feel like you just need to slow down, take some time out and reconnect? Yin Yoga is just what you’re looking for! Yin Yoga is passive, slow paced yoga practice with helps us to find mental, physical and energetic balance throughout our bodies and our lives. Yin Yoga is practiced with long, deep passive holds, we encourage to body to let go and surrender as opposed to other yoga classes where we are constantly pushing ourselves. The yin yoga approach is designed to help us create space in the yin tissues of the body; ligaments, joints and fascia while at the same time facilitating energetic healing.
Yin Yoga can be seen as the journey inwards. We work with the subtle sensations and energies throughout the body, while at the same time building a bridge between “Asana” and meditation. Yin Yoga can be perfect complement to yang styles of Yoga and the yang style of life. I weekly practice can help add balance to our Yoga practice and our hectic lives. Low lighting, relaxing music and awareness of breath will leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated!
-----------
Alignment-based Yoga:
Alignment-based yoga is a yoga class that focuses on detail, alignment and precision in asana (yoga poses)
Alignment yoga gives us the chance build up good habits in the functional positioning and movement of our body, it helps us to build awareness throughout new areas of our body that we may not have aware of before and it teaches us to practice yoga with great mindfulness and focus. As yoga in the western world continues to move towards becoming a form of exercise, these alignment classes are becoming more and more important. They give us the opportunity to slow down, to feel, to breathe, to observe and to take action.
-----------
Yin Yang Yoga
Yin Yang Yoga is dynamic class. We combine the energies of Yin and Yang as we move gently but actively into openness through the spine. With Yang energy we create space for the surrender and ease of yin to be felt throughout our entire body and being. This class is suitable for yogis of all levels who wants to flow more freely with breath, connect to the body and the senses, and move through the dynamics of activation and surrender.
