Vinyasa Flow – Dynamic
This is a strong flow practice which will give you a good workout, revitalising and energising. You’ll start slowly, inviting kindness and mindfulness into your practice, then build up heat as you move through plenty of sun salutes, standing poses and floor postures. Like all our classes the foundation is mindful breathwork. Class finishes with deep relaxation. It’s suitable for those with experience of yoga and for people getting back into yoga with a good level of fitness.

Yin is one of the most delicious forms of yoga you can experience. It is a passive, non-ambitious practice, with long-held floor poses and deep attention to mindfulness and mindful breathing. It targets connective tissue and joints rather than muscles, gently encouraging a quiet internalised approach. We emerge from a yin practice feeling centred, balanced, whole and relaxed.
