Hatha Yoga -
Level 1
For those who are
looking for a gentle, classical approach to yoga this one's
for you. The class starts with a centering and ends with
deep meditation. During the class, we focus on using our
breath in combination with the yoga postures to allow the
body to open up and start to relax into the poses. This
releases any tensions, tightness, or stress as well as
increasing your strength, balance and co-ordination,
flexibility and energy levels. These informative classes are
suitable for the beginner level and introduce postures in a
safe and gentle fashion. The all level classes are geared to
suit both the Level 1 and the Level 2 classes combined. As
always, you are encouraged to work at your own pace.
Hatha Yoga -

creative choreography and unique ways of flowing from one
pose to the next.
