Description
Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a dynamic and physically more challenging style of yoga that emphasises on fluid movement and breath control. In a typical Vinyasa Flow class, we will move through a sequence of movements in a continuous, flowing way, synchronised to the breath.
The word "vinyasa" comes from the Sanskrit term nyasa, meaning "to place," and the prefix vi, meaning "in a special way." Vinyasa Flows then emphasises on the connection between breath and movement, with each inhale or exhale initiating a particular movement or sequence of movements, to place the body in a specific way with each breath.
Each class will be different and the focus can lie on different body parts, such as hips or shoulders, or a particular movement, like circles or backbends. The focus can also be to keep a mindset of fluidity or stability. But in each class we will move through a variety of poses, including sun salutations, standing and balancing poses aiming to get the whole body involved and energised.
Moving faster and having to work a little bit harder with the body can both be really fun and a great way to calm the mind down. Vinyasa yoga can offer a great respite or act as a balancing tonic if we are living a life where there is a lot of focus on thinking and less on physical movement.
For this class bring your own mat and yoga block (if you don't have your own, email me and I will bring it for you)
Suitable for all levels, apart from complete beginners
Great for improving strength & flexibility

Description
This class is designed to help you connect with your body, breath, and mind in a gentle and nurturing way. The class will begin with a brief centering meditation to help you let go of any distractions and fully arrive in the present moment. You will then move through a series of gentle yoga postures, linking your movement with your breath in a flowing sequence.
A special focus will be placed on undoing tension that easily occurs from modern life. Meaning we will work on mobilising the spine, open the chest and improve blood flow to the hips and legs.
Moving in a way that feels good in the body, stretching out commonly tight muscles and preparing us for the meditation part by making sure the body feels as comfortable as possible.
The yoga postures will be accessible and adaptable for all levels. You will be encouraged to move at your own pace and to listen to your body's needs throughout the practice.
After the flow, you will be guided through a seated or lying-down meditation, bring a blanket to sit on or to wrap around you to stay warm and comfortable.
The meditation will focus on cultivating awareness, presence, and relaxation in the body and mind. We will use various techniques to help you deepen your meditation practice, such as breath awareness, visualisation, or body scan.
The class will end with a brief period of reflection, allowing you to notice any shifts or insights that arose during the practice. You will leave feeling more centered, grounded, and connected to yourself and the present moment.
For this class bring your own mat and yoga block (if you don't have your own, email me and I will bring it for you) and blanket
Suitable for all levels & age groups – especially beginners & anyone with anxiety or physical obstacles
Great for improving mental health and body awareness
