Yin Yoga

11am-12pm

Alison Newsome

Yin Yoga is a stilling practice that cultivates a deep sense of awareness through the release of mind and body stresses. An antidote to urban life, Yin focuses on releasing the connective tissue of the body (tendons, ligaments and fascia). Poses are held for long periods, allowing the student to relax as they express patience and quiet. Staying in the poses for this extended time intensifies and deepens the stretch, which is supported by props to prevent overstretching, and creates a feeling of spaciousness in the body. Yin Yoga also helps you increase mobility and flexibility, as well as work deeply into the connective tissues of the body.

Ashtanga Yoga

7pm-8:30pm

Helen & Alison

The word Ashtanga translates as 'eight limbs' and describes eight aspects of a traditional yoga practice and lifestyle. The physical practice, stemming from Mysore in India, follows as a set sequence of postures, allowing the practitioner to become familiar with it and build a confident, regular practice.

This class is not aimed at complete beginners, but we will offer modifications for all postures as required, so if you've done some yoga before then please come as you are and enjoy!
