What kind of Yoga?
In our general Yoga classes and courses we teach dynamic flow sequences harmonising breath and movement which build strength, vitality and fluidity. This is balanced by a quiet yin style yoga practice which cultivates relaxation and stillness. We limit class size to optimise personal attention. In a yoga class you will learn about the core movement principles that underpin the practice of yoga and experience how these develop strength in the body. For other kinds of Yoga classes see Pregnancy Yoga, and Baby Yoga.
One-to-One Tuition
One-to-one tuition is an opportunity to explore yoga in more depth where we can help you tailor your practice to your own needs, either to accommodate an injury or health issue or help develop your own personal yoga or movement practice. 1 hour session costs between £40 and £50 (some concessions available).
