Which class to choose?
Everyone is welcome to join us regardless of physical ability, age and experience.
Our aim is to promote well being, physically and mentally, by reducing the effects of stress and encouraging free movement in the body. All classes will help to balance muscles, build strength and stamina, encourage flexibility, and maintain better overall health, both physically and mentally. However, the classes vary in content and pace, so it is important to choose a class to suit you: please contact me if you need advice especially if you are new to yoga or are not 100% fit.
Tuesday is the gentlest and then classes become more challenging during the week with Sunday the most difficult.
* Most of my classes are Prana Flow. What is a Prana Flow practice?
We sometimes forget that Yoga was originally a spiritual practice. These aspects of yoga (meditation and pranayama) are often overlooked in a yoga class.
We don’t need to specifically practice these 2 elements; the physical practice offers ways to explore these deeper aspects of our being when we connect with the sensations in the body caused by Prana (life force) changing during the practice: if we work slowly, mindfully, pause and listen, we discover how each yoga pose subtly affects the flow of Prana in the body.
A Prana Flow class focuses on flowing postures and stretches to release tension, improve flexibility and balance body/mind. It is 'yin' in nature so is ideal if you want a less strenuous more meditative practice or are less experienced and prefer working slowly (suitable for all levels).
* Vinyasa Flow (all levels except Beginners) is a little more challenging than Prana Flow with more poses in the sequencing, but still suitable for most students.
* Power Yoga (intermediate level)
This class focuses on dynamic flow and deep stretches to build strength and stamina. It is 'yang' in nature, faster and more physically challenging than Prana Flow, but accessible to students who have a regular practice. You do not need to be experienced, as everyone works to their own level, but you do need to be familiar with the asanas and confident in your practice. It is a great workout and lots of fun.
* Beginners and students with reduced mobility - there is no dedicated class; contact me to discuss which class would be best for you.
* Private tuition is available by appointment. These classes are to prepare you for a group class and/or to work on specific poses which challenge you in your practice. Max 4 students.
