Slow Flow
This nourishing class fuses the dynamism of physical asana with the broader spiritual and psychological aspects of yoga. The class starts with a smooth breath-led, alignment-based flow before transitioning to quieter breath work and meditation to bring a harmonious balance to body and mind.

Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga. A deliciously relaxing but powerful practice which targets the connective tissues, bringing your body and mind to a stillness. Expect to hold relaxing poses for longer periods. All you have to do is get comfortable and let your body do the rest.
Pregnant people from 12 weeks onwards with an existing yoga practise are welcome to attend this class.
Dynamic Vinyasa
This class involves a series of flowing postures that transition smoothly from one to the next, creating an energetic and rhythmic practice. This style often emphasises strength, flexibility, and endurance, with a focus on building heat in the body through movement and breath, making it more intense and physically engaging compared to slower forms of yoga.
Pregnancy Yoga
This class is suitable for mummas to be from 12 weeks to full term and welcomes all levels, whether you’re completely new to yoga or a practiced yogi. The class incorporates breath and movement, aiming to relieve any discomfort brought on by pregnancy, whilst gently encouraging the opening of the pelvis with postures to birth your baby. Each class will end with some time for relaxation.
Postnatal Yoga
Postnatal yoga is the perfect way to help postpartum recovery whilst bonding with your baby. This class is suitable for babies from 6 weeks to crawling. Please ensure you’ve had your 6-8 week check with your GP and they have cleared you for exercise.
