Restorative Sound - Tonia
A monthly Monday class that is gentle and meditative. This class offers an opportunity to slow the body and quieten the mind. The whole class is floor based postures, which are held for longer periods of time which can stimulate and balance the energy in ones body. These postures also work on the connective tissues of the body to help increase the circulations in ones joints and improve flexibility.
Class finishes with a Restorative pose whilst listening to singing bowls which can help slow down thoughts and brain waves by immersing oneself in the sounds, vibrations, and frequencies of the Crystal Quartz Alchemy Bowls.

If you find meditation difficult, or are new to the practice, this is a helpful way to turn off your thoughts and slow down your brain waves by immersing yourself in the sounds, vibrations, and frequencies of the Crystal Quartz Alchemy Bowls.

Yin Yoga - Karin
Yin Yoga taught By Karin Michelle Sang is a meditative and profoundly relaxing practice, nourishing the deeper tissues of our body, regaining ease and mobility in our joints, relieving tension and pain while calming the nervous system. The simple passive seated and lying poses are held without muscle activation with the support of blankets, bolsters and blocks for 3 – 5 minutes. We stimulate and enhance the flow of energy through the body to create a profound sense of calmness, focus and equanimity.

Breath & Meditation - Jo
Breathwork has been round for thousands of years, used by yogis to help them live more present embodied lives.
The way we breathe has a direct impact on how we experience the world around us and our emotional landscape.
These short classes will use a mixture of energising and soothing calming breaths to help create some synchronicity between the mind, body and nervous system.
Beginners are welcome, there will always be a discussion/teaching at the start of the class, about what breath patterns will be used.
Please note: Breathwork is suited to many people, and it is very adaptable, but there are some health conditions where we would recommend you talking to your doctor first before attending if you have any of the following conditions; Cardiovascular Disease, Detached Retina or Glaucoma, Diagnosed Brain or Abdomen Aneurysm, Epilepsy, Bipolar or Schizophrenia, Uncontrolled diabetes, Diagnosed thyroid conditions, High Blood Pressure, Severe Asthma or Pregnancy (early stage or delicate).
