Classes

Hatha Yoga
These dynamic yoga classes are designed to increase fitness, flexibility and strength, while incorporating elements of meditation and deep relaxation. Students are encouraged to develop a strong yoga practice and work towards achieving balance in all aspects of their lives. These classes are suitable for students of every level and ability.

Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga is one of the strongest forms of yoga. These classes teach the Ashtanga primary series, from beginner to self-practise level. These are challenging classes, suitable for students who enjoy a fast-paced, dynamic practice. Particular emphasis will be placed on the breath and the meditative aspects of the asana flow. These classes are suitable for students of every level and ability - beginners follow the led class, while intermediate and advanced students are guided towards self-practise level.
