Class Styles

Ashtanga Led class / Half primary series

Level 2-3

During a Led Class the teacher guides the students through the Asthanga series using the traditional vinyasa count in Sanskrit. This helps students to learn and maintain the correct order of postures and adds a steady rhythm to the practice. This class requires prior experience in Ashtanga Yoga and students should be familiar with the sequence up to Navasana. If you are new to Ashtanga Yoga, we invite you to join a Ashtanga Mysore class or contact us about upcoming beginners courses.

Ashtanga REMIX class

Level 2-3

Ashtanga REMIX class. Based on the Ashtanga Primary Series, this class combines Ashtanga with elements of other yoga styles for a more accessible class. The perfect Friday evening class for Vinyasa & Ashtanga yogis alike!

Following the framework of the primary series, you can expect to move, sweat, follow the breath and challenge yourself in this dynamic class! Think of it as a friendly version of Ashtanga Led.

Although a “lighter” version of a led class, this is still a dynamic and intense class so experience in yoga is recommended.

Hatha - Thorough & Balanced

All levels

Hatha Yoga always aims to establish balance and a deeper state of harmony. ‘Ha’ standing for ‘sun’ (also known as ‘Yang’, the masculine principle) and ‘Tha’ standing for ‘moon’ (‘Yin’, the feminine principle). ‘Yoga’ in this context is understood as ‘union’. Traditionally a class starts with some sort of joint releasing and then moves into activating dynamic flows (like sun salutation). After energy is gathered in the system we move into held poses with an emphasis on strengthening the body. Towards the end we stretch and melt into longer held poses and as we lay down in final Savasana we integrate the practice on deeper levels. Each class being designed to leave you with a sense of greater clarity and peace.

Vinyasa Flow

• Level 1

• Level 2

• All levels

Vinyasa aligns a deliberate sequence of poses with the breath to achieve a continuous “Flow”. It's a broad classification that encompasses many different types of Yoga. In contemporary Yoga parlance, Vinyasa stands in opposition to Hatha. Hatha classes tend to focus on one pose at a time with rest in between. In contrast, “Flow” classes string poses together to make a sequence.  An inhalation is usually connected to upward, open movements, while an exhalation is often tied to downward movements or twists. Vinyasa allows for a lot of variety, but will almost always include sun salutations.

• Level 1 - the level one classes are the perfect place to start if you are new to yoga or if you are simply looking for a slower-paced practice. Expect to have asanas (postures) explained and these classes are accessible to all of our students regardless of experience.

• Level 2 - Our level two classes are medium to high intensity and are best suited to those with some yoga experience. Expect fewer detailed explantations and be prepared for your heart rate to rise in these uplifting classes!

• All levels - a blend of level 1 and level 2! Suitable for beginners who have already attended some yoga classes and straight through to experienced students. In this class the teacher will give you options or modifications to make the class accessible to you.

Yin Yoga

All Levels

Yin Yoga is a quiet, passive style. The postures are derived from the traditional yoga exercises and are mainly taken in a sitting or lying position with the support of props (bolster/blocks/belt) for mostly 3-5 minutes. With the help of gravity, increased stretching is achieved without any pressure to perform, in order to reach the deeper fasciae and subtle levels of the body and release underlying tension, remove blockages in the meridian lines and facilitate the balancing of the bodies internal organs and systems.

Stretch & Restore
