GROUP CLASSES
The majority of group classes are facilitated from my home studio, which accommodates a maximum of three students. This intimate setting allows for a more personalised approach to assist students in applying technique and alignment with skill.
If the gym setting or large yoga studios are more to your liking, I also instruct at the Virgin Active gyms.

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Ashtanga
This class sequence follows the traditional primary Ashtanga Yoga series, with adaptation where necessary to accommodate students skill level. Ashtanga yoga is a vinyasa based style of yoga which assists with increasing strength, improving focus and moving with the breath.
Hatha
The term Hatha when translated means “ha”: sun and “ta": moon. “Hatha” yoga aims to bring balance between the sun and the moon within you. Classes are typically slow-paced with longer held postures, focused on honing skill through alignment and utilising the breath to find stillness.
Foundational
This session is aimed at students new to the practise of yoga or students who are resuming practise after a long break. We will introduce the following components: pranayama (breath awareness), asana (postures) and meditation (clarity of mind) as we learn to integrate these seamlessly.
Restorative
Take it easy as we unplug and unwind with simple and foundational yoga postures, accessible to all levels. Poses are held for extended periods of time, cultivating the skill of remaining present in the moment.
Vinyasa
Vinyasa is a Sanskrit term, which when translated means: to place in a special way. "Vi": in a special way and "nyasa": to place.
This style of class is generally fast-paced and requires controlled, smooth breathing as we flow through dynamic sequences, aimed at improving strength and increasing flexibility.
Yin/Yoga Calm
Yin yoga, the counter part of Yang yoga, is predominantly a floor-based practise which targets connective tissues within the body via passive, longer-held poses. The practice aims to simulate energy flow, which could enhance the flow of chi to the vital organs in the body. Expect to be challenged physically and mentally as you allow the body and mind to open up to the experience.
