Students say:

“Thanks for the class - I really enjoyed it and slept much better than I have in weeks. It was just the right level and pace for me - challenging without being daunting, and it was great to have enough time to get into the postures correctly.”

“I Just wanted to put in writing that I really enjoyed yesterday's class! To be honest it was my favourite yoga class so far and I've been to a few over the years. It was just the right level of intensity for me, stretching and strength.  I'll definitely attend again.”

Mother and Baby yoga strengthens and tones your muscles. We’ll focus especially on the areas affected by giving birth – your tummy, hips, pelvis and of course pelvic floor.

A perfect antidote to the busy modern life. Come relax and rest.... This class will help to calm your mind and relax your body. 

Yin yoga is know as 'me time' and giving you the opportunity to let your thoughts flow freely as you hold a series of poses which are held between 3-5 minutes.  This encourages time to create space in the body and feel into your line of energy known as chi. Being still in these poses  allows time for feelings to arise which can help to balance and calm the mind. Yin Yoga also helps you increase mobile and flexibility,  as well as work deeply into the connective tissues of the body.

Following your 60 minutes of relaxing Yin Yoga you will be invited to take your relaxtion with a 30 minute of healing sounds washing over you with a beautiful sound bath. 

At the end of yin class I will invite you into a savasana, this is your time to lay back and relax into a space of stillness as I guide you through a relaxtion and calm through beautiful sounds of Alchemy Crystal Bowls and chimes , leaving you feeling nourished and nurtured.

Nb.  Props are available and often used in these classes, but please feel free to bring along your own.
