MANDALA VINYASA
A playful and dynamic practice, moving 360 degrees around the mat.
This style of creative vinyasa will offer a sense of fluidity and strength flowing through a sequence of strong asanas linking with the breath.
The flows work with the four elements (earth, water, fire and air) with the corresponding chakras! We will begin class with some beautiful Yin postures before moving slowly into the more yang practice to build up the heat!

Vinyasa flow is a dynamic, breath led, creative and intelligently sequenced flowing yoga style, with emphasis on alignment, form and safety.

The class is adapted to those present on the mat at that time, making adjustments to suit all levels and tempos, while encouraging self-acceptance, inspiration and an open heart.

HATHA / HATHA FLOW
A relatively gentle, slower paced class and great for beginners or students who prefer a more relaxed style where they hold poses for longer.
Hatha Flow introduces more flow with breath to the sequencing, offering more of a dynamic style Hatha class.
The style of Hatha includes the practice of asanas (postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises), which help bring peace to the mind and body.

YIN
Yin Yoga is based on the Taoist concept of yin and yang, opposite and complementary principles in nature. Yin is the stable, unmoving, hidden aspect of things; Yang is the changing, moving, revealing aspect.
A Yin class usually consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body – the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. The poses of held for up to five minutes, sometimes longer.
This type of Yoga is for you if you are tired and craving energy or you’re over stimulated and have too much energy; if your mind is overactive or your energy levels are erratic.

MEDITATION

Using Meditation, you can reduce stress, anxiety, depression and pain.
