Class Description

Beginners Yoga
Beginners yoga classes are suitable if you have never done yoga before, if you have a health consideration and need postures to be adapted using props or a chair. This is a fun and friendly class.
We start classes with shaking and movements to some lively music to warm up the body and get the joints mobile, muscles warm and circulation going.
After a brief standing meditation, we then move onto energy block releases which involves simple flowing movements with a spinal focus and mindfulness before doing some postures with breathing techniques
We always end our classes with a deep relaxation.

Mixed Ability Yoga
This class is for those that have some experience of yoga. It is of mixed ability and adaptations are given for different levels of yoga and any health considerations.
We start classes with shaking and movements to some lively music to warm up the body and get the joints mobile, muscles warm and circulation moving. After a brief standing meditation, we then move onto postures through yoga flows which includes mindfulness and breathing techniques and we always end with a deep relaxation/visualization..
Every week is different; some weeks we concentrate on alignment and learning new postures or advancement of postures already practised but often we learn a new sequence or practice a familiar one.

Pilates
Pilates has similarities to yoga with stretches but with more emphasis on repetition and toning muscle groups, with particular focus on your core. we sometimes use a resistance band especially for our upper body strength and weak lower body muscles and always give the body time to refresh by ending with a brief relaxation.
This class is suitable for beginners or those with some experience. variations of exercises are given for the different abilities. Always listen to your body and stop if you need to rest.
Classes are very informal, fun and friendly.
Modifications are given for anyone with health restrictions.

Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is Yoga Sleep as is a powerful practice that guides you through to your inner senses in a relaxed, subconscious state on your back and controls your relaxation responses. Your entire body, mind and nervous system receives complete rest.
This is a wonderful class if you suffer from insomnia or struggle to stay asleep at night.
Generally there are no Yoga postures other than Shavasana which is lying on your back.
However I do give the option to do some seated Fascia stretches to release neck and shoulder tension before the classes start.

Meditation
Meditation classes start with gentle stretches to wake up the body, release some energy and get your body prepared for sitting this takes around 15 minutes and then you are lead into a seated meditation for around 25 to 30 minutes.
This is a wonderful class to bring clarity to your mind, to relieve stress, anxiety and depression.
You can be seated on a mat or a chair for this class but if possible supporting your own spine, however you can do this class if you need some body support.
You will feel completely refreshed and ready to start or end your day with a positive state of mind.
