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.
Not just about fitness and peace of mind, but about balance, co-ordination and posture. Integrating movement, breathing and mental focus it improves physical and mental health as well as spiritual awareness.
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.
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.
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…

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.
