Restorative Yoga
An invitation to embrace deep relaxation and renewal.
This restorative yoga class includes minimalistic yoga poses that allow you to experiment and discover what works for your body. This class is considered as a less intense, meditative & nourishing practice. Postures may be approached in gradual steps, with focus on breathing while we allow the heat to soften our bodies. There will be a variety of standing, seated, supine postures as well as relaxation and meditation.
Yoga for everyone!
This is the same Bikram method class with the 26 postures, but only takes 1 hour. This is a faster paced class and only suitable for those who are familiar with the sequence. This is not advisable for students on their first class.
As you get hot you will sweat, a great way to start removing toxins such as nicotine, caffeine and even excess alcohol—not to mention dangerous metabolic waste that can build up, causing all sorts of physical and mental issues.
Hot flow - focussing on the breath. Working by applying synchronised breath and movement to the familiar 26 Bikram beginners' postures, plus additional postures. Adding sun and warrior salutations, planks, and postures to strengthen abdominal and upper body muscles. Soft music in the background, 75 minutes.
Yin yoga is a slow, deep practice of yoga that really allows our body to slow down, rejuvenate and release physically, mentally and emotionally - improving inner silence, awareness and reducing stress and anxiety.
The postures are passive, mainly on the floor, yet Yin is still challenging! Postures are held for a long period, often 3-5 minutes or more, applying moderate stress to the connective tissues working deep into the bones, tendons, fascia and ligaments.
The focus is mainly on hips (where we hold a lot of emotional tension), pelvis, inner thighs and lower spine as well as shoulders. We use props to ensure support and comfort allowing us to relax into the postures, increase circulation to our joints and improve the flow of qi (subtle energy) through our body.
The room is not heated.
