Our Class Styles
Vinyasa Flow
Slow Flow Yoga
Our Slow Flow classes are light and creative, but slower paced and gentler than our Vinyasa classes. Postures are generally held for longer periods, and the transitions between poses are a little slower.
The more gentle nature of this class is great for beginners, but is also wonderful for intermediate and advanced students who feel like slowing it down and sinking deeper into their practice.
Yin Yoga
Our Yin Yoga classes are a slow-paced and calming style of yoga. Poses are held for longer periods of time with a focus on floor-based postures. Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues (ligaments, tendons and fascia) to help improve flexibility and create the feeling of space and freedom in your body. You will leave feeling amazing!
These classes are suitable for all levels of students, and are a perfect complement to our more ‘yang’ Vinyasa Flow Classes.
Meditation + Yin
Our Meditation + Yin classes incorporate yin postures to open and relax the body before we move into some guided meditations to calm and bring stillness to the mind. The class concludes with a grounding yoga nidra (yogi sleep) and long peaceful savasana. Pure bliss!
These classes are suitable for all levels of students.
Basics
Our Basics Classes run on a 4-week cycle and break down the fundamentals and core poses found in our yoga classes. You can join the program at any time, even if you start after Week 1. Best of all, you can repeat the program as many times as you like so you can really get your confidence up!
The 4-week cycle focuses on:
Week a: Sun Salutations
Week b: Foundation Standing Postures
Week c: Foundation Floor Postures and Twists
Week d: Backbends and Inversions
Because our Intro Offer for new students is 28 days of unlimited yoga, you can attend all 4 of the Basics Classes during your introductory period!
Progressions
Our Progressions sessions are workshop style classes that run on a rolling 4-week cycle. They are a playful and fun class designed to help you explore your physical practice and experiment with some of the more challenging and creative yoga postures. The workshop style nature of this class will find you doing some conditioning style sequences to open and strengthen your body, and prepare you to experiment with new poses. You don’t need to have an advanced practice to attend our Progression classes, and as always, we encourage you to meet your body where it’s at and go at your own pace.
You can join the 4-week rolling schedule of classes at any time and you can repeat them as many times as you like!
The 4-week cycle focuses on:
Week a: Arm Balances
Week b: Inversions
Week c: Opening Poses
Week d: Playful transitions
These classes run for 75 minutes and are a really good opportunity to deepen your practice, and build the confidence to incorporate some more creative and challenging poses into any Vinyasa and Slow Flow classes that you attend with us.
Come along and play!
