YIN
If your focus is on flexibility then the deep long-held stretches of Yin yoga is the perfect class for you. Its gentle restorative approach makes Yin available to all levels of fitness as well as complete beginners.
Yin yoga provides the perfect balance to an active busy lifestyle and is complementary to dynamic yoga practices such as Ashtanga Vinyasa.
Yin yoga goes beneath the superficial muscles to target the dense connective tissues of the body, especially in the hips, pelvis and lower spine. Bringing flexibility to areas that are difficult to open can result in limited mobility and stagnant energy.
Yin is long-held poses with awareness on relaxing the muscles and working on the connective tissue. This slow style of yoga has Taoist roots and is said to activate the flow of chi. Practising Yin yoga can improve the overall functioning of the body. By stimulating the layers of fascia in the body, nutrients can flow more easily. In contrast, stretching the body’s ligaments helps maintain plasticity, aiding in range of motion even in the later years of life.
CLASSES RUN ON - MONDAYS AT 7:30 PM / WEDNESDAYS AT 9:30 AM / THURSDAY AT 7:30 PM
MYSORE
You are given an Ashtanga sequence of postures. With individual guidance, help and adjustments by the teacher you progress at your own pace. Ashtanga Yoga Postures are given according to the individual. Focusing on mindfulness breath and nonviolence. The class structure is "open", meaning that you can enter the studio when you like and leave when your practice is complete within the scheduled time 5.30 to 7.45 am. Practice times differ depending on the individual and sequence. Approximately one and a half hours.
Beginners to Mysore must start with our beginners’ intensive course committing to four days a week, so as to familiarise themselves with the sequence. We usually take just one or two students at a time, limited to 5 student groups per course, allowing us to give you more personalised attention and guidance.
Those who are familiar with the Ashtanga sequence or have a regular Mysore practice are welcome; however, we do ask that you send us an email or call to let us know you’re coming. Friday’s full Primary Series is a counted lead class. Full moon / new moon will be gentle practice. No adjustments will be given
CLASSES RUN ON - MONDAY - FRIDAY AT 5:45 AM
HATHA
A beautiful balance between strength and steadiness (sthira) and joyful ease (sukha)). An active asana practice prepares the body for stillness by burning away impurities. Then, using restorative postures calm the nervous system and quiet the mind and finishing with a beautiful short guided Yoga Nidra.
CLASSES RUN ON MONDAYS @ 6PM
VINYASA
Likened to a dynamic dance Vinyasa flow, is a practice where postures are connected through the breath for a transformative and balancing effect. Classes build heat, endurance, flexibility, and strength. Vinyasa as a form is always evolving and teachers weave together wisdom teachings and music that can inspire physical, energetic, mental, intuitive, and pure bliss states of consciousness. Classes good for Levels 2 and higher
CLASSES RUN ON FRIDAY @ 9:45 AM
YIN YANG
Yin-Yang yoga uses warming, dynamic, fluid sequences which target muscle and blood, while Yin yoga uses restful, deep, rejuvenating postures which target connective tissue (ligaments, tendons & fascia).
Yin-Yang classes combine passive and active postures with breathing techniques and meditation, resulting in a deep, integrated and satisfying practice
CLASSES RUN ON SATURDAY AT 9:30AM
YIN AND NIDRA
Gentle Yin for 55 - 60 mins and Nidra for 15 - 20 mins - a class for all levels

Yoga Nidra is practised lying down and is a form of guided meditation also known as “yogic sleep” or “effortless relaxation”. Anyone can practice Yoga Nidra - it is really beneficial for those who struggle with switching off or have trouble sleeping. During this state, bodily functions are minimal, the heart rate slows down, and the body goes into a deep rest state, allowing your body to repair and restore. This process also helps you conserve energy, decreasing fatigue and rejuvenating the brain.

BREATH-WORK AND MEDITATE
Breath-work and Meditate - A practice connecting you to your breath - This is where your love, spirit, & healing live. These classes implement specific breath-work patterns to mobilise the diaphragm, create expansion and elongate the breath cycle. Influencing the breath in this way helps to increase the supply of oxygen through the body and improve our overall well-being - physically, mentally and emotionally. We will then integrate the practice with a short Meditation and Nidra.
