Gentle Yoga Classes

Seriously gentle. We promise.

Ideal for:

Beginners
Re-starting your practice after a break
Working with an injury
Seniors
Those who prefer a more relaxed-style Yoga practice

Expect MINDFUL movement, functional stretching and mobility - gently lengthening muscles, loosening joints as you’re guided in some of the less-threatening Yoga poses. We’ll coax you out of your brain to cultivate a connection with your body using guided breath work, and encourage modifications to keep things accessible and safe for YOU - in the body you’re in right now. A great lead-up if you wish to progress toward the OPEN class - though that isn’t necessarily the ultimate goal.

Open Yoga Classes

This Hatha style class infuses traditional Yoga poses and styles with functional alignment 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. Modifications are encouraged, though this is not an ideal class for beginners: there is an assumed prior Yoga experience and knowledge of one's own limitations.

Yin Yoga Workshops

Often likened to a needleless acupuncture session, YIN Yoga is a powerful practice in physical and emotional release. Suitable for all levels of Yoga students, these popular workshops always shake things up ... and then let them settle beautifully in their proper place again.

Yin Yoga is designed to "juice up" your joints and connective tissues (fascia), and in turn energizes your major organs and unblocks the major meridians in the body.

As each posture is held for a few minutes, it encourages mindfulness in one's practice, while giving you the opportunity to feel, explore and meditate in each posture. Each workshop targets different meridians in the body, which in turn have various physical and mental effects on us.

Restorative Yoga Workshops

Restorative Yoga is a clever manipulation of the nervous system - leading to deep relaxation, when all the organ systems of the body are benefited. A few of the measurable physical results of deep relaxation are the reduction of blood pressure, insomnia and general fatigue; improved immune function, digestion, fertility, elimination, and an increase of the "good cholesterol" levels. The emotional benefits are way beyond measure.

Restorative Yoga is a chance to deepen the connection with your body, minimising our habitual tendency to go stronger, harder, faster, more… and to in fact actively and intentionally do nothing.

When given the chance to emerge, our inborn relaxation response provides a soothing, healing effect on the body, mind and spirit.

People heal because we take the metaphoric weight from the body, allowing it to find balance/homeostasis and reducing blood pressure.

Savouring in Restorative Yoga poses for longer allows you to cultivate a compassionate self enquiry: to listen to your body AND your spirit with your intuitive ear and connect with your inner wisdom – what needs healing or restoring?

Restorative Yoga involves extensive use of Yoga props (bolsters, blankets, blocks etc) - so we literally support, cushion and cradle the body, we cover you up and leave you there for around 20 minutes. We’re looking to reach the point where the physical body can completely relax, which initiates and facilitates healing on deeper levels including stress and emotions.

Restorative Yoga is highly recommended for any and everyone, regardless of previous yoga experience.

Sound Bath

Each Sound Bath is a unique experience which provides the opportunity for you to gently relax and for the body to initiate healing. Using a variety of therapeutic sound instruments (Himalayan and Japanese Singing Bowls, chimes, gongs, drums, rain stick, Ocean drum, etc), you will be immersed in waves of vibration, a cocoon of gentle healing sounds which will penetrate every cell in your body.

As our cells are essentially composed of water, the sound waves readily pass through and affect them, via sympathetic resonance. Joined with a combined and focused positive intention, this helps to ‘re-set’ the vibrational frequency of our cells, initiating and promoting holistic healing. The sound waves also interact with our brainwaves, putting us quickly and effectively into a relaxed state. It is similar to meditation in it’s effects.

Studies with an EEG (elctroencephalography, which records brain activity), have shown that these healing sounds alter our brainwave patterns almost immediately, allowing us to reap the benefits of deep states of relaxation.

Lastly, the sound instruments also affect our personal energetic field (bio-field or ‘aura’): refreshing, revitalising and even rebuilding our energetic patterns.

Combined, this presents a wonderful opportunity to clear, balance and harmonise the entire body, whilst helping to invigorate our natural healing processes.

John and I can't tell you how much your yoga classes have made a difference in our life, while we often do different classes which mean different teachers, we love the variation this brings to our session...we can''t imagine how we have lived without Yoga for so long...and the weekend or the week!

Judy

Dee’s session was truly wonderful ! Dee’s voice is hypnotic and so soothing and comforting as too is her wisdom and expertise. Dee conducted the session with all the attributes you dream a yoga teacher would have .the 2 hour session felt like 30 minutes!

Carolyn

I have absolutely loved and enjoyed the diversity of Dee's teaching styles each and every week. We are all so grateful for Dee stepping in for John.
