A gentle, mindful but strong hatha practice. Working with the breath to connect mind to body. This session is open to all levels, regardless of your ability or your experience. The hatha asana ( posture ) is here to softly engage your focus, in the hope to allow you to cultivate a sense of balance within.

Using props to create a stronger foundation in the posture, with the aim to help you find your comfort there too. With guided cues inviting you to adjust, use your breath, strengthen or relax.

Ending the session with Tibetan sound bowls to guide you into a restorative shavasna ( corpse pose ) with the intention of opening space for some deep relaxation. ( or afternoon nap ! )

Hatha Yoga explores posture and breath through being centred, grounded and calm, giving us a chance to explore the body/mind connection. Open all levels, expect moments of intensity as well as space for restorative mind-body connection.

Join Bella for a fluid Hatha session, with just enough flow to get your energy circulating, and just enough stillness give you the silence you need for clarity. Expect pauses for mind-body connection and guided breath cues to help you find your own flow.

If you enjoy this class consider joining Bella for her Yin Nidra and Bowls, or midday Hatha next week.

Delightfully slow practice merging together softness of Hatha and fluidity of Vinyasa. Together, we will greet the sunrise with delicious stretches, seamless transitions and spacious pauses.

Part of our series to give you the foundations you need to develop your practice. Charting asana, breath, vinyasa flow, alignments, meditation and philosophy. We spend time reping out asana and talking through the postural shapes, to build foundations for strength, flexibility, mobility and agility. This session is for everyone, whether complete beginner or revisiting aspects of your practice. It's also an open environment for questions, exploration and trying new things on the mat.

A 30 minute mini session. Giving you tools to realign your posture with strength and stability so that you can unlock your natural state for deeper relaxation. Expect a mix of practices, some yoga and non-yoga, as well as breathwork and tension release, all focused on mind body connection and deep body-work. Each class will be different to help give your more tools to take home and help you relax.

Join Bella for a deep rest Yin with Yoga Nidra and Tibetan Bowls. Yin yoga postures work as an acupressure. The yin practice sits between challenge and deep rest. Postures are held for 3 minutes or more to help create more of an opening to the connective tissues and joints.
Yoga Nidra is the practice of going into a deep meditative/ sleep like state whilst remaining conscious or partly conscious. Aimed to help deeply relax the nervous system by being led through a body scan/ finding your intention ( sankalpa ) and using rapid visualisation techniques to help reconnecting back to the body. The Nidra will be accompanied by sound bath with Tibetan Bowls.

There will be space for chai and chats after the session.

Bella will be joining us this morning. Expect Hatha based practice for your morning yoga time!

This session will be more dynamic and aimed at building more energy with stronger postures and more yang movement.

Unity is a combination of East meets West. Shaped by teachings drawn from Integral, Traditional Vedic, and modern lineages. The mystical, philosophical, and the science-based. Expect mindful movement, an enquiry into organic, natural movement; moving inwards through focused awareness to then open outwards into a spectrum of authentic yogic postures with sensitivity and strength. The heart of this practice is about ‘being with oneself’, letting go and enjoying the process of unfolding rather than judging or forcing. Each class will be shaped by a different theme in response to either the time of day, element, season, lunar cycle, or energy, and your guide's curiosity.

Tarin will cover this class whilst Basia is away.

A vinyasa flow is designed to capture the essential elements of primal movement.

Ebba will guide you through the deep body-work and complex movements that are so often forgotten by the body as we rush from one place to the next, until we are so tired that all we can do is slouch in the couch at the end of the day.

Ebba also uses percussion to help you find the deep rhythm of your body. Savasana is guided and with Crystal Bowls to transmute the heat of the session into transformation.

This session is a discovery session, with yoga as the key vehicle. Balance, strength in posture and finding new movement patterns.

During this session we ask ourselves "what would I be like if I had never sat in a chair or been able to get my food from walking around a busy supermarket. What would my body feel like if I had to run, climb and move just to survive".

Special Notes: Set around vinyasa, expect some workshop moments and non-yogic movements. In fact, expect the unexpected.

You may sweat.

We start the session with a mind body connection practice to centre and warm up, and then move towards freedom of movement, using asana as an expression of freedom in the body. We use binds to place momentary holds and restrictions, on the body to intentionally push up to our boundaries, before bursting through into full freedom.

This is a non-serious, session, the music will be loud and the spirit of 67 will be called forth.

Leave boundaries at the door, and expect the unexpected.

Gravity yoga is a targeted mobility training method that involves long hold stretches.

Poses are practised completely relaxed, passively, so gravity does most of the work. Gravity yoga focuses on opening up the hips, hamstrings and back, where eventually the whole body will open up overtime as everything is connected.

When you come to gravity yoga classes expect strong classes, challenging poses. The method is slow, with long hold postures taught in an effective and progressive way for each student to feel and deepen the stretch.

The classes are structured in a way that students can modify each posture to their physical needs, the aim is to find the stretch and relax as much as possible into each posture.

In gravity yoga we combine long hold postures with 4:8 breathing, an essential breathing technique that activate the parasympathetic nervous system and switch off the stretch and reflex response in the muscles, that usually naturally happens when we stretch the body, allowing the body to relax, open up deeper in a faster and more effective way, leaving a long lasting effect in the body and feeling a calmer mind.

Pranic Healing
Pranic Healing (PH) is a non-touch energy healing modality.

Towards the end you can expect
grounding sequence in order to slow down the breath and reflect on your experience on the mat.

This session is truly for everyone, all genders, ages and abilities.
Slow and graceful pace of the class will help you to learn how to listen to your body and gain the strength, not just physically, but mentally at the first place.

Often using of the yoga props along with many adjustments tor
the poses are welcoming everyone to explore the silence inside, even if it seems to be very challenging sometimes. Same like a life itself.

This Yoga practice is about quieting of the fluctuations of the mind and creating a relationship with our mind, rather than being constantly in a separation and uncontrollable fight inside. Through the conscious and mindful movements along with a breath, you will be guided to stay present and take most of the experience off the mat into your daily life.

Guided with Sabina Bhandari, expect classical deep body-work with Tantric lineage visualisations and Hatha poses, pranayama, closing with a Tantric Nidra to bring the spirit to Nirvana through trance state.
