Hatha Yoga offers us all the huge benefits that come from gently stretching, opening up and closing the body, synchronizing these movements with our breath.
Alongside the focus on the physical yoga postures and their alignment, we also look to tap into a more mindful state, to cultivate inner peace and relaxation, lowering stress through yogic breathing.
Those who have never practised yoga before OR feel it’s been a long time since they last practised and would benefit from a few refresher classes.
Style is Hatha Yoga, incorporating elements of Ashtanga and Iyengar Yoga.
Muscle and joint stretching, bone strengthening.
Increased flexibility and coordination.

A better understanding of the body’s movement and breath.
And a greater sense of wellbeing and relaxation.

Always start gentle, be guided by the moment and enjoy with a smile.
As with other forms of physical exercise, keep any food intake light and at least an hour before class is due to start. Have some water or herbal tea close to hand in case you may need it.
