A great starting point if you haven't done any yoga before, are re-starting your practice, working with an injury, just testing the waters or maybe just want to stick to a softer-style practice. We work at coaxing you out of your brain, and cultivating a connection with your body. Expect functional stretching - gently lengthening muscles & loosening joints, guided breath work and gentle introduction to some of the less-threatening yoga poses, with modifications made to keep them accessible and safe for YOU, in the body you’re in right now.
Emphasis is on correct technique, learning about the movements as you go while honouring where your body is, with your practice. A great lead-up if you wish to progress toward the OPEN class - though that certainly doesn’t have to be ultimate goal.

We recommend people who've NEVER done any yoga before do a few GENTLE classes. It's not about how fit or strong you are, it's about learning the basics of technique and alignment - how to perform the poses properly and what's important about them. The GENTLE classes will give you the tools and confidence to attend an OPEN yoga class.

Tuesdays 10:30am
Saturdays 10am
(suitable also Monday 7pm)

This Hatha style class (inspired by, and often including parts of the Ashtanga, Iyengar and Vinyasa styles) infuses traditional yoga poses with safety principles. This well-rounded practice offers more in terms of physical intensity, as well as delving deeper into the other rich aspects of the Yoga practice. The OPEN class can still be modified to suit all shapes, sizes and levels - making the poses either more challenging, or perhaps softer where required. If you can't make it to a GENTLE class first, and you are healthy & fairly mobile, you should be OK to join this class.
Mondays 9:30am
Mondays 7pm (also fine for BEGINNERS)
Thursdays 9:30am
Fridays 9:30am
Saturdays 9am
Sundays 9am (first Sunday of the month)

This form of Yoga practice is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all students from beginner to experienced. We work very hard in our lives, and while we may sleep, we rarely take time to rest. Restorative yoga poses help us learn to relax and rest deeply and completely. It is a gentle alternative, exploring and luxuriating in extended restorative-style poses, relaxation techniques and gentle stretching. Let's face it: some yoga poses taste sweeter than others. If yoga were a menu, then RESTORATIVE yoga would definitely be dessert. We utilize the support of props such as bolsters, blankets, straps, eyebags & blocks... lengthening the breath, softening muscle tension and soothing our parasympathetic nervous system - our body's automated state of repair and renewal. A great way to balance out your yoga practice, soothe your body, nurture your soul, quieten your mind and literally RESTORE.

Watch out for monthly Sunday morning RESTORATIVE WORKSHOPS, and register online.

Pregnancy can be the most incredible time in a woman’s life. It’s a time for nurturing, slowing down and listening to your body with your intuitive ear. Yoga during pregnancy connects women with their breath, their bodies and their baby by offering safe, simple and effective exercises to strengthen and relax your rapidly changing body, preparing you for your best possible birthing outcome. If you’re expecting a baby, we welcome you to join in our GENTLE CLASSES (Tues 10:30am and Sat 9:30am), and our Prenatal Yoga-trained teachers will guide you through relevant and appropriate modifications to ensure the practice is safe and effective. All women at any stage in their pregnancy are welcome - even during attempted conception.

If the class times are inconvenient, or you're experiencing pelvic pain (Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction), high blood pressure, are carrying twins or are experiencing discomfort and/or immobility in your third trimester, we recommend PRIVATE SESSIONS so that we can tailor a program to meet your specific needs. Please enquire.

If you're wondering whether to 'take it up a notch' and move onto a stronger class, ask yourself: "Do I no longer feel challenged in class?" "Do I know most of the poses we regular practice in class, by name - and how they should correctly be executed?" "Do I really need to go up, or am I really enjoying my practice just as it is?" "Is my ego making this decision for me, or is my body actually craving the next level?" "Am I still carrying that chronic injury (and should I continue to nurture it in a lower level class)?" "How is my practice serving me at the moment?"

PLEASE ask if you're not sure which class is appropriate for your current practice, and if we think you've made an inappropriate choice, we'll discuss it with you.
