Sunrise Yoga
Start your day with a practice encompassing body, mind and breath. Move fluidly through standing and seated postures to improve mobility and stability, closing with meditation and pranayama (the ancient art of yogic breathing). These practices promote vibrancy and clarity, and help to regulate our nervous systems.
Suitable for all levels of experience.

Slow Flow Yoga
Slow Flow is a Vinyasa class that is light and creative but slower paced and gentler than open Vinyasa classes. Postures are generally held for longer periods and the transitions between poses are a little slower and easier to access, with modifications offered from more traditional Vinyasa sequencing.
The more gentle nature of this class is great for beginners and anyone who needs to modify for reduced mobility. A beautiful option for experienced students who enjoy a slow grounded practice.
60 mins
Yin Yoga
A nourishing class, incorporating yin-based sequences, gentle movement, myofascial release, long holds, pranayama and a couple of sweet restorative poses. Designed to stimulate and release the deeper tissues and fascia of the body.
Classes may explore organs and elements as they relate to Traditional Chinese Medicine and the effect of a slow, soft yin practice.
The more gentle nature of this class is great for beginners and it is also wonderful for experienced students who enjoy a deeply relaxing class and reset for the nervous system.
60 mins
Restorative Yoga
A gentle practice dedicated to constructive rest that emphasises ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’. Restorative practice makes extensive use of yoga props to create a fully-supported practice that allows students to mindfully rest deeply into the restorative postures. Classes include passive poses, supported inversions and guided mindful relaxation (Yoga Nidra).
This class is suited to anyone who desires a restorative practice. It is taught by a trauma-informed facilitator sensitive to the importance of creating a safe space for those who have experienced trauma.
60 mins

“True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.”
— AADIL PALKHIVALA
