Alignment based Hatha Yoga Classes

Alignment Based Hatha Yoga Classes (for Adults)

@ 6.15pm Thursdays (60 minutes)

Most of the students have a little yoga experience, but choose this class as the pace isn't too intense, and many are coming back to yoga after a long break and want to go over the basics.  Classes are themed each week. Please bring a mat if you have one.

Level 2

@ 7.30pm Thursdays (75 minutes)

If you are comfortable with the basics and would to develop your practice more, this class is for you. Poses are held for longer,  we explore some level 2 asanas/pranayama and students will learn how to practise inversions -eg headstand and shoulder-stand.  This class is a little longer to allow for some restorative practices - which are a great anti-dote to stress.  Typically we end with mellow and low-energy poses - a great complement to the more active part of the class. All welcome!

Gentle 

@ 9.30am Fridays (60 minutes)

Suitable for those who would like a slower-paced, more supported class whether due to a recent return to class, age, injury, or other special condition. Influenced by the Iyengar method of Hatha yoga, with a strong emphasis on detail, precision, and alignment in posture and breath to gain strength, mobility, and stability. Props such as bricks and chairs and the wall are used to ease strain in the asanas (poses). Students progress at their own pace.

What to expect:

Sara teaching style is clear and informed.  Her weekly classes are always varied, and blend a strong and steady alignment based practice, with slower restorative poses and always includes pranayama and deep rest.  She ensures that each student’s needs are met in a safe and comfortable environment. Sara uses props to help students to deepen their practice, support during rest or to help students get into poses that otherwise might not be possible.

"Even in simple asanas, one is experiencing the three levels of quest: the external quest, which brings firmness of the body; the internal quest, which brings steadiness of intelligence; and the innermost quest, which brings benevolence of spirit." - BKS Iyengar
