Ashtanga

Brought to the modern world by Pattabhi Jois. This method focuses on synchronizing the breath with a series of postures. It’s dynamic and physically demanding.  Ashtanga means eight limbed and refers to the eight-fold path of yoga as outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. To perform the asana correctly in Ashtanga yoga one must incorporate the use of vinyasa.  Vinyasa means breathing and movement system.  For each breath there is one movement.  The synchronised breathing and movement helps improved blood circulation and joint pain and removes toxins and disease from the internal organs.  Through the use of vinyasa the body becomes healthy, light and strong.  We would recommend you have an intermediate to strong practice when attending, this is not suitable for beginners.

Beginners Yoga

The Beginners classes follow a 4-week program with a different focus every week. Each class is designed on breaking down postures, focused on developing clear and safe alignment in foundational poses. The Beginners class provides the structure to help students to be able to eventually enter into any class intelligibility and safely.
The 4-week cycle is running continually so it doesn’t matter if you miss a week.

A welcoming introduction to the yoga practice.
