CLASSES

All classes start with a few moments of breath awareness or breathing exercises. In mixed level classes, we then move on to warm ups for joints and muscles which are designed to prepare our bodies for the class. We do standing poses and sequences first to get the whole body working together and to build strength and improve balance, and then move to the floor to work on flexibility and deeper stretches. Each class includes the 4 movements of the spine – side bend, rotation, extension of the front and the back of the spine  – and work for the hips and shoulders. Everything we do is supported by the breath and also works on the accessory muscles we use to breathe, leading to deeper more relaxed breathing.

 

In the yoga for Healthy Bones class we will be focussing on strength and support for the spine, with breathing exercises and meditations for inner strength.  The whole class can be done using a chair if you do not find it easy to get down on the floor. It  will be a small group, so plenty of individual attention if needed. The class will be run on the yoga therapy model, so you will book a course of about 6 classes with the aim of helping you to practice at home for a short time each day. You will receive a recording of the sequence to use. There is one space in the morning class and other times will be available soon.

 

The Yoga for Healthy Backs class will be floor based with gentle movements of the spine in all directions and exercises to stabilise and support your back. Small group and book a half term block as for the Healthy Bones class, times to be arranged.

At the end of the class there is a guided relaxation to allow the effects of the practice to be absorbed by the body and mind. Breathing practices are an integral part of the class and are sometimes used as a meditation to lead into relaxation.

 

 

 

After class they say…..

“It’s like a sigh that wasn’t there before…”

“I feel like I have been oiled….”

“My body is purring…”
