Our classes explained
SOUL FLOW
In a Soul Flow class the movement section is faster moving than foundations with less detailed instruction (don't worry we will still give you a lot of cues). You will probably get your heart rate up and feel hot and sweaty at times! These classes focus on vinyasa flow which is a term to describe moving through yoga postures in a fluid way. These classes are great if you want to move and like a more challenging physical practice. There may be some fun challenging postures like arm balances and inversions but there are always a lot of options and modifications so anyone is welcome to these classes, even beginners. These classes will always start with a short meditation and end in Savasana (resting and lying down). Suitable for everyone. Beginners welcome.
FOUNDATIONS
This class is about the foundations of yoga, starting at the beginning. In each class the teacher will break down foundational aspects of a yoga practice. This could be breaking down a specific posture and offering lots of different variations, more specified alignment cues and instruction on why the pose is beneficial. This could also be the foundations of energetics, why we breathe, how we breathe and why it’s important, or the foundations of philosophy or a meditation practice as a theme. A Foundations class will always include a short meditation and breath practice. Movement and physical postures and will always end in Savasana (lying down). Suitable for everyone. Beginners welcome.
CHAIR YOGA
Gentle yoga class with breathwork, stretches and mobility and relaxation, all seated on a chair. perfect for anyone with limited mobility.
YIN
Yin Yoga is a series of gentle postures, mostly floor based and supported with yoga props. These postures are held for a few minutes to release tension in the myofascia (muscle and fascia). Yin is a quiet, slow practice, great for relaxation and reducing stress. It’s a great balance to any sort of active yoga or exercise. If you have a busy active life, Yin is amazing as it gives you space to relax and let go without distractions of phones, kids, work etc. Yin is specifically around the physical aspect of creating more movement in the tissues. All Yin classes will include mediation and breathing practices. Suitable for everyone. Beginners welcome.
PILATES
Our Pilates classes are fun, challenging and very mindful. You will learn how to activate and stabilise muscles you didn't even know you had. Pilates is great for anyone who wants to build more strength especially around the core muscles and back body. It's great for reducing pain and risk of injury. Our mat pilates classes offer a lot of modifications, so everyone is welcome. Great for recovering from injury and illness too.
GENTLE
Our Gentle classes focus on spinal mobility, joint mobility and hydration and relaxation. The main difference between a gentle class and foundations is there are very few postures in Gentle that put pressure on the knees or wrists. If you want a nurturing, calming practice that feels gentle and relaxing this is for you. Great for everyone!
COMMUNITY
We are proud to say we've been offering by donation community yoga classes three times a week since 2018 - These classes are sometimes taught by our yoga teacher trainees, and sometimes by our regular teachers. They are normally gentle, well rounded classes that include movement, meditation, relaxation and breathwork. Donate what you can- suggested donation $10. Donations go to Sea Shepherd
ASHTANGA
Ashtanga Yoga is a set sequence of postures, developed by a yoga teacher called Krishnamacharya in the late 1900’s. It’s a traditional style of yoga that focuses on building heat and power in the system. It’s a relatively physically demanding practice that starts with meditation, then goes into different yoga postures linked together in a set way. It is a very well rounded yoga sequence that focuses on building strength and flexibility in the body and calming in the mind. All postures are offered with modifications for all body shapes so we recommend this class for beginners with no major injuries or health conditions.
KUNDALINI YOGA
This class combines Kundalini Yoga Kriyas which are sequences of movements and breath practices to move energy through the body, with meditation and gentle flowing yoga postures. Expect some challenges with stronger Breathwork practices and some challenging arm movements! Builds strength and resilience. Suitable for everyone, beginners welcome.
FLOW TO LET GO
This is a Friday night class to shake off the week. We start with a gentle flow, yoga postures linked together in a slow flowing way with breath awareness. There’s usually a joint mobility warm up and gentle stretches. We move into some more active postures, before lying down with lots of pillows and blankets for the last 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra translates to 'yogic sleep' and is a deeply nourishing practice for rest and relaxation. This is a gentle class suitable for everyone. Beginners welcome.
SUNDAY CHILL FLOW
A more chilled Soul Flow for a Sunday morning. Expect fluid gentle movement, meditation, rest, breathwork and philosophy. A wonderful way to ease into Sunday morning
PROGRESSIVE FLOW
Stretch your limits...
Join Clare for a challenging practice, designed to build up a sweat! Expect dynamic creative flows, interesting transitions, arm balances, inversions and adventurous postures. Everyone welcome, but not suitable for injuries, we recommend at least 2 months of Vinyasa Flow experience.
NIA DANCE & MOVEMENT
Nia is a fun, dynamic movement practice that leaves you feeling energised and alive. Blending the latest body-mind science with ancient wisdom, Nia educates and inspires you to live and move with embodied Joy.
One to One Yoga Sessions
What you gain from 1 hour in a one to one session with an experienced teacher can take you weeks and months to learn in a group class. If you’re injured or have a history of injuries or are struggling with a specific part of your body this becomes even more applicable. Every single body is completely different so it makes sense that every single yoga practice should be tailored to the individual. Instead of forcing your body to fit the class, we look at modifying the yoga to where you are right now. These sessions are not just for body but also for supporting mind, so that we can better learn to live in our bodies with a more present mindset.
