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.

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.

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.

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

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".

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

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

You may sweat.

This is a FREE SPACE to practice yoga. This session is an open invitation to come and enjoy a yoga reset! Yoga is for everyone and this is an open session for all levels. There will be time after the session for chai and chats and space to explore any aspects of your practice that you wish!...

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.

∙Blocks
