Yoga
Relax. Recentre. Rebalance. Restore.
​
Our studio specialises in offering deeply relaxing Yin Yoga classes, all ability chair Yoga as well as the dynamic flows of Vinyasa sequencing. Offering sessions that restore, nourish, and calm the nervous system while also gently stretching out the physical body.
Yoga works on the balance of opposites, Yin and Yang. In our studio, the physical requirements of Pilates & Vinyasa form the Yang, and this is balanced out with the regular practice of Yin.
This reminds us that life is all about balance, because you can't have Yin without Yang.
Restore - YIN Yoga
Relax. Recentre. Rebalance. RESTORE.
Yin yoga is all about creating balance in the body, the mind, and the emotions. In this 60Min class, you will be guided to still the mind and the body whilst finding space within. While most yoga practices will stretch and strengthen the muscles, Yin Yoga explores longer holding of poses to bring the stretch into deeper connective tissue.
​
​Yin yoga invites us to explore where resistance arises. This resistance could be physical, emotional or psychological. Therefore, we start to become more aware, more conscious to honour our deeper feelings and emotions as they affect our state of wellbeing.
Yin yoga is both gentle and appropriate for all levels of students, from total beginners to experienced practitioners to athletes and seniors or even people with injuries and movement limitations.
Yin yoga is perfect for those who want to:
-
Balance a more energetic exercise routine
-
Increase flexibility
-
Keep joints healthy and mobile
-
Improve posture
-
Release trauma and emotions that become stored in the body

Feel the benefits of Yoga in a class where your age is nothing more than a number.

Chair yoga is a gentle practice in which postures are performed while seated in a chair. When standing poses are included in a chair Yoga class, the chair is used to help with and improve balance.
Anyone can experience the benefits of chair Yoga (although you should always check with your doctor before you get started).
It is particularly great for those who are not able to participate in other forms of Yoga (or mat based classes) due to illness or injury, including things like high blood pressure, arthritis, injury or balance and stability issues.
This form of Yoga is perfect with our more senior clients, but it’s also a good option if you work long hours at a desk and want to find some gentle ways to move and refocus during the day.
Chair Yoga is more than just exercise and it provides many of the benefits of traditional Yoga, which can help with strength, flexibility and managing stress.
It treats the whole body—the joints, muscles and organs. The emotional, body the mind. An overall whole body calming effect.
