Yoga Classes

On this page is an explanation of how the classes work and a list of when and where they are held as part of an ongoing programme. Please check in often because the site is frequently updated with new items.

Additional information

It is not advisable to eat just before a class, so have a snack two hours before the class or a meal four hours before attending. Wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to move freely. You will need a mat to work on or something that will not slip on a wooden floor. During the relaxation session your temperature may lower slightly, so please make sure you have clothing that will keep you warm - socks, jumper or bring a blanket if you want.

Format of the Class

At the start of the class, we take time to allow our minds and bodies to settle and to prepare ourselves for the yoga practice. We do some warm up exercises before we work on the asanas (postures). Asanas help to release tension, improve flexibility and strengthen the whole body system – mentally and physically. The last 20 minutes of the class will be for relaxation - of the mind and the body. Unwind and let go of any stress - giving you a sense of well being and renewed energy. We sometimes listen to the sound created by a singing bowl or gong to deepen our relaxation. We also practice chanting.
