VINYASA SLOW
Refine & Align
Our Vinyasa Slow classes maintain an element of flow but the tempo is slowed down so that movement can be refined and aligned. It is a practise designed to build strength and stamina for both the body and the mind. Through progressive sequencing that builds on a key alignment focus, or gradually builds towards a peak pose, those who are new to yoga will be educated on alignment, whilst at the same time, more experienced practitioners will appreciate the refinement and detail at a slower pace.
Cultivate your own inner heat by working mindfully through your practice within a room temperature environment.

YIN YOGA
Be still & feel
Yin Yoga classes offer us a chance to balance the Yang nature of our lifestyles. This is a practise that is slower, grounding and meditative in it's nature. Postures are held for longer periods of time to connect to deeper, more subtle layers of the body. With the support of bolsters, blankets and blocks, deep inner tensions that live in the connective tissue can be released. This also taps us into the Meridian System of the body, drawing upon Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zen and Buddhist philosophies.
Yin Yoga is practised at room temperature. All levels can benefit from this style of Yoga as it serves to be a wonderful balance to any Yang practise.
