Yoga is a practice that helps build strength and flexibility of your body and mind. We offer a variety of yoga practices so check out the descriptions below to see what might suit you. And don't worry - you don't have to be flexible! For group classes, you do need to be able to get up and down from your mat (sitting to standing) but if this isn't an option for you, that doesn’t mean you can’t practice yoga. Book a private yoga appointment to go over any alternatives/modifications that you can use in a group class. If you do have an injury or limitation, please make sure you let your teacher know before class.
Yoga classes incorporates pranayama {breathwork}, asana {poses}, and savasana {the best bit at the end of each class where you lie down for mediation / relaxation!}. It doesn't matter what you wear as long as you can move easily and bring any extra layers/props that you need to be comfortable {eg, socks, clothing, blanket, cushion, eye pillow}. Also, avoid heavy meals for 1-2 hours prior to your practice. The last thing you want is an uneasy feeling in your belly during your practice!

Pilates is a form of low impact exercise that was pioneered by Joseph Pilates in the 1920's. It has become popular as a way to improve strength and flexibility and can be a wonderful whole body workout. Pilates can be either on a mat or on equipment such as a reformer.
Pilates can be tailored to all fitness and experience levels, and can be a wonderful way to incorporate exercise into rehabilitation following an injury.
Class descriptions are below, please get in touch if you have any questions!
SLOW FLOW YOGA: Slow Vinyasa Yoga â–¸ All levels / Beginner friendly
Slow Flow is a slower paced practice focusing on breath, technique and alignment while still keeping the gentle rhythm of a slow vinyasa yoga class {flowing from one pose to the next with our breath}.
This class typically includes pranayama {breathwork}, seated, standing & laying poses. We practice foundational Sun Salutes and flows, standing strength, balance and core work.
We finish with juicy, longer held floor poses and then best pose of them all ... savasana, where we lay down and rest. During savasana, I may offer a body scan, meditation, breath practice or silence to allow all the benefits of your practice to sink in.
FLOW YOGA: Vinyasa Yoga â–¸ Intermediate
This is a dynamic, vinyasa class that has an emphasis on flowing from one pose to another, matched with your breath, while working towards a peak pose or flow.
This class usually runs in a progressive series* and is best suited for yogis who are familiar with Sun Salutes and yoga in general as less instruction is given for foundational poses and flows.
We explore intermediate flows and poses and we have lots of fun along the way! It's a great class to advance your yoga practice, get your blood pumping and will leave you feeling invigorated.
*We usually practice the same class for approximately 3 weeks while giving more options and variations as the weeks progress. This helps you become familiar with the class plan so you can really get into the flow of the practice {where the magic is!} but you can join a class anytime!
RESTORE YOGA: Restorative & Yin Yoga â–¸ All levels / Beginner friendly
This class is super slow and super delicious! All floor based with no standing poses, this practice helps calm your nervous system and relieve tension held in your body.
We'll often use yoga props in this class in longer held poses so please bring a yoga bolster if you have one plus any extras to help make your practice as comfortable as possible {ie, blanket, cushion, eye pillow}.
This class is deeply restorative for your mind, body and soul.
PRIVATE YOGA: 1:1 Yogaâ–¸ All levels / Beginner friendly
Private Yoga sessions are held 1:1 with a qualified Yoga Teacher and are tailored to your specific needs. You may be starting your yoga journey and want personalised guidance and instruction.
