Yoga for wellbeing
This is an all level yoga class.  You don’t need to be bendy, or have any previous yoga experience, you can just come and lay down for an hour, if that’s what you need.  Everyone is welcome, if you have some physical limitations, injuries, or reservations please contact us to discuss it prior to coming to a class, so we can ensure we can accommodate you’re needs.
 
This practice will be for an hour, it is seasonal yoga practice, linked to the organs of the body. We will be settling into the session with a meditative breath focus, work through some postures to warn up, then flowing through postures to focus on opening the chest and forward folds for the spine and shoulder opening, all this helps if you have been scrunched over your computer.  We will be having a relaxation after the movement to complete your holistic experience and send you of feeling rejuvenated.
 
 

 

 

Is Yoga for me?

It is not recommended that you attend if;  you are in the first 3 months of pregnancy,  have epilepsy, experience seizures or have a severe heart condition.

If you have significant challenges with your mental health,  for example, have received a new or recent diagnosis, are in crisis or experienced complex trauma – yoga may not be appropriate at this time.

You may be more sensitive to Yoga if you have had recent surgery, broken bones or other major physical injuries, have a pacemaker, or if you experience tinnitus.  Please make the instructor aware of any concerns you may have.
