Below is a list of Class Descriptions organised by teacher. At the bottom of the page are descriptions of different Types of Yoga related practices that are covered in workshops and events.

Anyone is welcome to try out any of our classes. It is important to always listen to your own body and, if needed, to adapt the practice by modifying the postures to match an appropriate level of challenge for yourself, particularly when dealing with injuries or health conditions. People who have a good level of fitness often enjoy the mixed level classes even if they are new to yoga.

Types of Yoga & Other Practices

Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa classes include instruction on breath, movement and alignment building into variations of sun salutation, standing and balancing poses, sequencing postures into a flowing dance (vinyasa). Closing with a mixture of floor poses, inversions and deep relaxation.

Jivamukti Yoga

Jivamukti is a physical, ethical, and spiritual practice, combining a vigorous hatha yoga, vinyasa-based physical style with adherence to five central tenets: shastra (scripture), bhakti (devotion), ahimsa (nonviolence, non-harming), nāda (music), and dhyana (meditation).

Gentle & Therapeutic Yoga

These gentle classes focuses on improving movement, not on postures or making shapes with the body.
Beginning with Somatics to unwind tension from the centre of the body and Rhythmic Movements to gently energise and finally, Therapeutic Yoga to improve range of movement at the spine, shoulders and hips. This combination of Intelligent Movement creates more ease and joy, less tension, strain and pain. Leaving you with a sense of feeling lighter, mentally, physically and emotionally.

These classes are suitable for all abilities including pregnancy (from 14 weeks).

Restorative Yoga

The pace of life is fast and our minds move fast as well, leading to over stimulation of the nervous system. This can result in feeling easily overwhelmed and tired with your mind racing leading to illness and health problems. Restorative yoga is a completely supported yoga practice, there is no muscular contraction involved inviting the body to be gently relaxed and stretched, gently removing tension. You use bolster cushions, blankets and blocks to hold you in floor based postures (we provide all the equipment except the blanket).

Practicing restorative Yoga is a great help to anyone who is chronically ill, or recovering from injuries.  It's also great for anyone to enjoy some rest and relaxation of mind and body and bring more balance into their lives.

Yin Yoga

Yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It’s slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.

The practice of yin yoga is based on ancient Chinese philosophies and Taoist principles which believe there are pathways of Qi (energy) that run through our bodies. By stretching and deepening into poses, we’re opening up any blockages and releasing that energy to flow freely.

Yin yoga is usually a floor based practice using props to support and staying within the postures for longer periods of time too deeply release.

Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is a wonderful practice, it requires nothing of you, but to lie down, get comfortable and be still. It is beneficial for everyone and can be done at the end of physical movement or your yoga practice or as a stand alone experience, typically lasting for 20 to 45 minutes.

Yoga Nidra differs from meditation, where your mind stays focused allowing for thoughts, emotions and images to come and go. This is known as the Waking state. Yoga Nidra moves past the chatter of the Waking state and the fantasy of the Dreaming state, to go into Deep Sleep, yet remaining awake.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice, combining alert awareness with full relaxation, connecting with your deep consciousness, whilst healing the body.
