ALIGN AND FLOW

strength, flexibility, calm

A blend of traditional asana postures move into a series of strengthening and aligning sequences which are both static and flowing. We move with the breath and focus in all posturing. Often the classes will be themed to heighten the awareness of particular areas in the body. All classes include some core work to ensure we are gaining strength for longer held balance and inverted postures.

WOMEN’S YOGA

the pelvic core

Yoga was originally developed by men for men. Women's bodies are different – for a start we have more curves. Our hips are different - wider and less stable. We are not warriors but more about connection, love and intimacy. We are juicy, sensual and the nurturers of the Earth. Therefore our yoga practice is about sensing and feeling, finding our roots in the pelvis. We want to encourage our feminine self to flower, not close into an analytical mind that is continually stuck in the head. We can leave that to the men.

RESTORATIVE YOGA

stress management/yoga therapy

Restorative Yoga is a gentle style of yoga where the body is fully supported in deep restful postures using props such as blankets, bolsters and walls. Simple breath work and gentle inversions will further encourage a calm mind and body. It is extremely useful for busy minds that simply won’t turn off. Beneficial for people recovering from illness, injury or those who simply want a slower calmer practice with a deep, supported stretch.

OVER 35s

strength & ease

For those who don’t want to keep up with a bunch of slim flexible young ones. We are at a different place in our life and in our life experience so these classes reflect our needs. Focus will be on strengthening with more attention to detail of our physiology and energy movement. In contrast, restorative, longer held postures will be interspersed to deepen the experience and release the strengthening postures.

YOGA THERAPY

strength & recovery

One-on-one sessions developing an individual practice for those with chronic conditions such as stress or past injuries or just want some individual attention in aligning / strengthening or flexibility practice.

BIODYNAMIC CRANIOSACRAL WORK

health & vitality

Biodynamic Craniosacral work is a non-invasive, light touch technique used to release pain, tension and restrictions in the body. We work with tissue, fascia, fluid and energy systems of the body with particular focus on the craniosacral system. For more information contact Anishka.
