Slow Flow & Restore
Move with softness, with intention and attention in our Slow Flow and Restore. This practice has origins in a Vinyasa style yet is stripped back and slowed down to allow for deeper connection.
Taking your time, you will flow from one position to the next, giving you the chance to truly feel and enjoy each pose and its effects. With a restorative element, this practice is the ultimate relaxation; an opportunity to slow down, take time for you and come back to yourself. Expect to find a mix of standing and seated postures.

Yin
Time to slow down and surrender. A Yin Yoga class will take you through a series of seated positions which are held for a longer period (anywhere from 2-5 minutes).
This time of seated stillness gives opportunity to harness your breath, bringing you back to the present moment when the mind naturally wanders, yet also aids in accessing the deeper connective tissues (ligaments, fascia) as the body relaxes, increasing both flexibility and joint mobility.
A practice sure to leave you feeling a little more open and relaxed, in both body and mind.

Wheel Yoga
Yoga wheel is a great practice for beginners and seasoned yogis.
Practice with the wheel focuses on balance, alignment, and flexibility.
The wheel is used to create space to enable access to postures that your body might not otherwise be able to reach.
More challenging balances which open and flex the body can be supported using the wheel.
The class is both challenging and restorative, targeting different areas of the body and / or different peak poses each week.
Viv teaches the class in a supportive manner with the aim to open hearts, minds, and bodies, all while having fun and pushing yourself to the next level.
A must try experience for those wanting to experience the next level of their practice in a guided and supportive environment.
