Yoga – Vinyasa Flow
One of the most popular styles of contemporary yoga, ‘Vinyasa’ is a Sanskrit term referring to the transition between positions on the yoga mat. The smoothness is what gives Vinyasa its second name, or nickname, “flow”.
Each class will start with some breathing exercises or pranayama. Breathing appropriately is of central importance to Vinyasa’s effectiveness, as it helps with focus. Gradually, new users will become accustomed to the different breathing patterns and techniques.
Next will be a round of gentle warm-ups known as ‘sun salutations’: a series of postures performed in a specific order, and designed to ready the body, enabling it to synch with the breathing exercises. Then a ‘flow’ of standing and seated poses, of which the focus will be dependent on the needs or aims of the class. Finally, each class ends with a final pose known as savasana and a gentle unwinding and relaxation on the yoga mat, where you are bound to feel relaxed.
Our classes are open to all levels, from beginners to advanced yogis. Members will be provided with props to ease in to the more difficult poses, and will be encouraged in their own time to progress naturally towards the more advanced poses.
You should leave each class feeling deeply relaxed both physically and mentally.
Yoga – Candle Lit Flow
The candle lit flow class is similar to our Vinyasa class, only taught at a slower pace. As the name suggests, candle lighting is used for ambience, to encourage relaxation and soothe the mind. Members will find the slower pace enables both deeper stretches and pranayama. It follows the same process as the Vinyasa class: including a gentle, rhythmic flow, with a relaxing savasana to ease off.
The final stage of the candle lit flow is a process known as ‘Yoga Nidra’ – a guided meditation also referred to as the “yogic sleep”. The Yoga Nidra has been linked with improved sleeping patterns, and stress and anxiety release. The goal of this meditative practice is to reach what is known as the “transformative state”; the boundary between full consciousness and deep relaxation, which so often leaves members feeling fully rested.
Yoga Nidra is known to improve sleeping patterns, release stress and anxiety and will put you in a transformative state between full consciousness and deep relaxation and will leave you feeling fully rested.
Gentle Yoga
The gentle yoga class welcome all levels but may be more suitable to people dealing with injuries, older people and people suffering from chronic pains.
This slow moving yoga class of low intensity is perfect to restore energy and internal balance.
The classes include light twists, seated forward folds, gentle backbends and easier sun salutations variations.
Postnatal Yoga
Postnatal yoga is great way to heal, strengthen and nurture yourself after birth. It is advised to wait a minimum of 6 weeks postpartum before going back to any physical activity. After this period of physical recovery postnatal yoga will be a great way to:
- Strengthen the back, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles
- Release tension in shoulders and neck muscles
- Help to improve posture
- Decrease overall stress and promote relaxation
- Provide an opportunity to connect with other parents
- Create a safe environment to bond with baby
Postnatal classes include baby(ies) who remain present throughout the practice at all times and can even be part of the movement and physical poses. Classes are suitable from 6 weeks after birth until baby starts crawling or moving around.
Pregnancy Yoga London / Prenatal Yoga classes
Becoming a mother is a very special journey. This time of great change and transformation is a time for women to reconnect to their innate life-giving powers and intuitive wisdom.
Pregnant women naturally experience daily shifts and changes both physically and emotionally and Yoga is a powerful and effective tool which can help to adapt to these changes.
Prenatal Yoga classes are also a chance for mums-to-be to deeply relax which helps to reinforce their connection with their growing baby.
Classes are suitable to women who practice regular yoga classes as well as complete beginners.
You should leave each class feeling deeply relaxed both physically and mentally.
