Yoga
Movement practice and health restoration
Derived from the Sanskrit word ‘yuji’ – meaning yoke or union – Yoga is an ancient practice that brings together your mind and body. You’ll complete a range of breathing exercises, meditation and poses, designed to encourage relaxation, reduce stress, tone and align the body.
The benefits of Yoga
There are plenty – from stress and anxiety relief to improved flexibility, mood and awareness. Yoga can support your heart and lung health, pain management and even better sleep. And did you know that Yoga can encourage better digestion and gut health?
Hatha Yoga
Hatha is a classical yoga which centres on asana (postures), breath work, and gentle warming movements to build strength, flexibility and relaxation. There is an important focus on standing poses and basic seated work that is suitable for all levels. Generally a slower pace than Vinyasa yoga, but still with a strong focus on alignment.
Vinyasa Flow Yoga
Ideal for beginners or intermediate level – with variations of postures for different abilities. A vinyasa is a smooth transition between postures, helping your body to realign for the next posture. You’ll synchronise breath to movement – building internal core strength, stamina and flexibility.
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga works deeply into our body with passive, longer-held poses. It targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians.
Energetically, Yin yoga improves the energy flow, enhancing the flow of chi in the organs. Yin yoga also offers wonderful emotional and mental health benefits.
