Class Descriptions

Vinyasa Flow Yoga

Vinyasa Flow Yoga connects one pose to the next, synchronised with the breath in a graceful moving meditation that feels like a flowing dance.  The classes are often quite dynamic and moderately paced. This style of yoga builds heat, flexibility and strength while maintaining focus on alignment.   

Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga moves at a slower pace with more opportunity to go deeper as we hold each pose for several breath cycles. Emphasis is on stability, alignment, mindfulness and maintaining a steady balanced breath.

Barre

Barre is a fun and challenging class that uses a combination of movements inspired by ballet, yoga and Pilates. The barre is used as a prop to balance while doing exercises that focus on isometric strength training (holding your body still while you contract a specific set of muscles) combined with high reps of small range-of-motion movements. Each barre class includes a relaxing stretch and guided mindfulness practice.

Yin Yoga & Meditation

Yin Yoga blends passive yoga postures held anywhere from 1-10 minutes, with Traditional Chinese Medicine, mindfulness and breathing practices. You will be comfortably supported by props so you can move deeper into the body and beyond the thoughts in the mind. This quiet, slow and restorative practice provides an opportunity to release tension and let go of stress to find emotional balance and a sense of physical ease in the body. We close the class with a 20 minute guided meditation.

Bushwalking & Yoga 

We meet at a local park (usually at either Eltham Lower Park or Westerfolds Park). We walk at a steady pace and at the halfway point we pause in a beautiful place where you'll be guided through a mindfulness practice. On the return journey we walk in meditative silence. Returning to the place we began, we roll out our mats on the grass to practice a slow flow yoga class. Afterwards there is an option to stay and enjoy chai, delicious healthy snacks and have a chat. *Please bring your own mat.
