YOGA CLASSES
If you're wondering what sort of yoga to try then read on. We've tried hard to make the differences clear.
Like anything yoga improves with practice, enrolled students never miss out as they can make up classes within each term. Our environment is friendly and supportive. Whether you're a beginner or returner our classes are open to all and all are welcome.

WEEKLY YOGA WELLNESS
75 minute classes. This is ideal for reasonably fit and mobile beginners or those returning to regular exercise. Also suitable if you are feeling stiff and 'lack lustre'. Classes reinforce the foundations of careful and safe alignment with optimum breathing. Students are encouraged to work honestly within their own current capabilities.

Care is given to understanding how to bear weight correctly through the hands and feet. Expect to see special 'foot treatment' used in every class. We encourage responsive feet because this aids balance and nurtures healthy joints and spine. By rolling each foot over a small physio ball for a mini myofascial self-massage in the warm-up we keep supple and strong. Simple but satisfying standing and floor poses or 'asanas' such as twists, gentle forward, back and sidebends are mixed with short flowing sequences. The yoga 'nidra' or relaxation at the close every of class is part of embedding the practice and leaves you feeling nicely supple, stretched and revived.

DEEP YOGA RELAX
Restorative Micro Retreat held on Sunday's (2 hours)
A more introspective and quiet session with an extended relaxation element. Restorative yoga is an effective therapeutic remedy for those coping with dis-ease, sleep deprivation, anxiety or the stresses and strain of a modern life. In other words suitable for everyone. Restorative yoga soothes the body and carefully coaxes us towards stillness in order that we can appreciate how to become less hectic. A class with few poses, but huge impact. Particular attention is paid to breathing and passive stretching. You will be supported comfortably in each of the prone, supine or seated poses for aproximately 5-8 minutes. There are few, if any standing poses in this class. It is particularly recommended for asthma relief, insomnia, anxiety and low mood, IBS and other metabolic imbalances.

WEEKLY YOGA WITH A CHAIR
Tender Loving Care
75 minute classes. Discover how working with chairs improves posture. Working with chairs is no barrier to movement and wellnes. Using chairs (sitting or standing) enables us to be super stable in balances and twists in particular so we are free to explore the physiological details of the poses responding to the breath. You might think this class is 'too easy' or designed for senior students or the less mobile - think again. Place your preconceptions under the spotlight, listen to your body and learn how to incorporate yoga with a chair into the modern lifestyle: at the desk, in the car, on the computer or even while you watch TV!
This class uses mats, some props, and chairs.
