Hatha Yoga works at a slower pace and works with individual postures so it’s ideal for beginners and those wishing to perfect their practice. Each posture will be broken down so you will learn how to get into them correctly and safely.
Each class will begin with some Pranayama (breath work) to arrive, settle and ground you, connecting your mind with your breath followed by a nourishing warm up leading into an energising asana practice (postures) to improve your flexibility, stability, strength and muscle tone. The classes will finish with a guided restorative savasana (relaxation) to awaken your senses and cultivate a calm, steady mind and help you to connect with your inner-self and boost feelings of wellbeing and happiness.
Week 5: I will teach you Ujjayi breathing technique, an ancient yogic breathing technique. Ujjayi breath helps us ease in and out of postures when we are practicing yoga dynamically repeating the movements helping us to synchronise the breath with the movements and whilst statically in postures, holding the pose for a certain number of breath cycles, helping us to focus on our breathing. It also helps us to deepen and lengthen the breath having a balancing effect on the cardiovascular system, increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood, nourishing the body.
Week 6, I will teach you how to chant Om which you can use as a tool in your own self practice to reduce stress and anxiety, detoxify the body, improve concentration, connect us together in community and to connect more deeply with your inner-being.

Fridays – 10.00 am to 11.15 am
Classes will be focused around a particular theme or element each week and will begin with some pranayama (breath work) to ground and settle you on the mat and connect your mind with your breath followed by a nourishing warm up leading into an energising asana practice (postures). A cool down will then lead into further pranayama techniques to calm the body in preparation for a guided meditation to control and/or quieten the mind. The focus each week will be on a different meditation technique such as a visualisation, a mantra (a word repeated to aid concentration), chanting (focusing on internal sound -nada) and the chakras (a wheel or vortex of energy) to connect with your inner-essence and cultivate feelings of joy, peace and happiness. A guided, restorative savasana (relaxation) will conclude the class.
