Yoga Class

We offer instruction in three major yoga styles: Ashtanga, Sivananda and Iyengar style yoga.

Ashtanga yoga is more dynamic with an emphasis on continual movement and flows from one asana (posture) to another in sequence.

Hatha yoga is a more general style of yoga.  Postures may be held for a short or lengthened period of time with focus on correct technique and alignment.  Props such as blocks, straps and ropes may be used to develop correct body posture and alignment.

Sivananda is a more all round style of yoga, neither possessing the vinyasa (flow) of Ashtanga nor the intricate alignment of Iyengar. The benefits of yoga are to calm and focus the mind, to induce deep relaxation, reduce stress. It helps to stretch and tone the muscles and through specific breathwork, to energise the body.

All our yoga instructors have trained and spent extensive time in India studying the various methods and techniques.

Emma and Kay have undertaken the Sivananda yoga teacher training at the Sivananda ashram in the Himalayas. Emma has also studied with the famous guru and yogi, Patabi Jois (now aged 92) at the world renowned Ashtanga yoga centre in Mysore, Southern India.
