Ashtanga with Zoë is a wonderfully dynamic practice! Taught in classical sequence encompassing physical asana practice with bandhas, philosophy, chanting and breath work. Zoë is a free spirit with a love for body art and spiritualism. Join her on the mat for a heady, vigorous yoga practice coupled with soft, beautiful chanting and feel the magic flood the mind during relaxation afterwards.
Foundation yoga
Based on the principles of hatha yoga, foundation yoga is just that: postures that create the foundation of your yoga practice. Perfect for those who want to strengthen their core yoga practice, those who are new to yoga or returning after a long time off.
Hatha yoga is one of the traditional forms of yoga practice, from which other types have originated. Using a combination of asanas (poses) and controlled breathing, it is as physically demanding (or not) as you make it. Classes start with sun salutations (surya namaskars) and finish with savasana relaxation.
Restorative yoga is one of the most deeply relaxing styles, your body is completely supported through handmade natural props scented with therapeutic grade essential oils to remove any pain or discomfort to allow ultimate parasympathetic conscious replenishing time.
Vinyasa, meaning ‘flow’, is one of the most popular forms of yoga. It interlinks postures to create a flowing, more dynamic physical challenge, but again culminating in savasana relaxation so you’re left energised, refreshed and positive.
Meditation
The format of the class is a short introduction, followed by relaxation and connecting in with a visualisation. Then comes the meditation, which will be different each week and have a specific focus. With guidance and support from the meditation facilitator Jane Seaman.
Our fundamental movement course of four classes focuses on increasing mobility and strength, improving alignment and posture, and releasing stress and tension throughout the body by using key movements and exercises that are quick and simple to incorporate into your everyday life.
Pilates has so many benefits and really is for everybody. It helps to develop strength, flexibility, endurance and posture without stressing joints. This makes it the perfect complement to cardiovascular exercise, athletic training or rehabilitation.
The Red Tent is a women’s movement that has arisen all over the world where women meet in circle around new moon. It has sprung out of the understanding that our womb wisdom, all that we know and understand as a result of living in a cyclical body, has been suppressed and denied.
Relax into your mat and ‘bathe' in the beautiful, deeply relaxing tones of gongs, Himalayan bowls, crystal bowls and percussion instruments in Sonja Gundry’s sound baths. Not only will you come away feeling relaxed, you’ll find you’re refreshed and revitalised…
For this monthly class you will be using a mixture of yogic breath work, chanting and yoga nidra to de-stress and revitalise your mind, body and soul. The class will be teacher led to allow you to surrender to the practice without having to worry about what to do next.
