Weekend Wind-Down Yin Yoga

Soothe your body, mind and soul at the end of the week with a mindful, nurturing yoga practice.
Release tension, relieve stress, find solace from the hectic pace of modern life and the pressures or expectations of work, family and social commitments.

This class is suitable for everyone, regardless of experience. We will take things slowly and mindfully, using gentle movements to connect to our breath and come into our bodies. The practice leads on to restorative yin yoga where we use longer holds in passive postures to allow for deep, gradual release at the connective tissue level. This gives time and space for reflection, contemplation and cultivates receptivity while being deeply calming and rejuvenating.

Practice will always include breath-work to soothe the mind and ease you into awareness. We close with savasana, total relaxation which may be guided or held in nurturing quiet, to access a state of deep, nourishing rest.

Suitable for: Everyone and anyone. Students who are new to yoga will find Yin a gentle enough style to follow along, and those with more yoga experience can go deeper into the mental, subtle and meditative aspects of the practice.

Rest & Restore Nidra Nights

An evening of luscious relaxation, suitable for all, everyone welcome!

Breath practices to soften the edges. Gentle movement and restorative yoga to get out of your head and into your body, allowing your system to release tension and settle into comfortable rest.

We follow with a deliciously long Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) – a potent meditative guided relaxation practice for healing, insight, and empowerment. It’s a state of consciousness in which we are invited to re-encounter the essential truth of who we really are. Yoga nidra provides us with the opportunity to experience deep freedom and deeply nourishing rest. It welcomes us all home to ourselves. .

Saturday / Sunday Flow Yoga

A delicious, energising morning flow yoga class to help you start your weekend feeling great. There’s no rush in this 90 minute class. We find spaciousness in our bodies, minds and breath which in turn can help you find spaciousness in your life. We explore breathwork (pranayama) to calm and revitalise. As we move we gradually build heat and open our bodies where they may feel stuck or closed off.

There’s time to break down some more challenging postures giving you time to play with something new or work your edge. And of course there’s time to slow down and sink in deep, before final relaxation (savasana).

Suitable for: Anyone with some yoga experience or a reasonable level of body awareness and fitness. Great for students who have been practicing yoga for some time.

Fri 22nd March, 6pm-8.30pm, Sat 23rd & Sun 24th March, 10am-5pm

A delicious weekend to dive deep into the meditative and healing practice of yin yoga.  In this immersive weekend you will learn the functional approach of yin yoga to complement each body which is beautifully unique and bio-individual.  There will be nourishing masterclasses for enjoyment and experiential learning as well as workshops with practical learning, theory and discussion.  No body is the same as another and yin yoga is an incredible style of yoga that supports each body in its own shape and function to gain optimal benefit with the art of propping.
