Chances are most (if not all) of your questions will be answered on these pages.
Heated Yoga
Our signature Hot Yoga class is Hot Yoga 26 (Bikram) which was the original Hot Yoga. This class is available as an express or a longer 75 or 90 minute class and is a “prescription” of postures designed to work the entire body. Practicing in the heat has many benefits, not least it helps to increase your cardio workout and aids with detoxification through sweat as well as helping you get further into postures.

Restorative Yoga
We offer a chance to truly unwind with our restorative and yin yoga classes. These classes are practiced in residual heat to allow the body to relax further and stretch deeper, these slower classes focus more on releasing and relaxing. We use breathwork and yoga nidra meditation to bring awareness to the mind and the body. These classes are a great accompaniment to the energetic/yang style practices, allowing the body to recover and reduce the risk of injury.

Aerial Yoga
Aerial Yoga is a unique form of Yoga using a hammock as a versatile prop and is a playful and fun way to practice yoga. With the weight of the body supported you can learn how to achieve proper postural alignment through relaxation rather than effort, producing a peaceful state of mind and a wonderful feeling of lightness in the body.
