Yoga classes
Flow Yoga
Our Flow Yoga class is a Vinyasa style of yoga practice, a Sanskrit term that translates to ‘flow’ and refers to a dynamic sequence of movements, synced with the breath.
With an emphasis on correct alignment, body awareness and an understanding of bringing intention to your time on the mat, this class will enable you to build physical and mental strength and stability.
You will develop the capacity to create space and to calm the mind, a skill too often taken for granted in our busy lives.
powerflow yoga
Saturday 9.15am PowerFlow is your progression from regular flow.
If you are ready to push yourself outside of your comfort zone, even just a little, then please join Annie for this energetic however still traditionally mindful flow.
Vinyasa (sun salutation) flows/ sequences may move a little quicker but there will also be some time for workshopping more complex poses.
Do not feel intimidated by the name, you can still go at your own pace and rest when you need to. Sometimes you just have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable to fully reap the rewards.
Slow Flow YOGA
A slow flow of movement with an emphasis on being fully aware of how each movement occurs and what is happening with each movement. By slowing down and being mindful we can identify areas of imbalance and restriction and work into those areas in a way that works just for us, we are all built uniquely different, understanding our uniqueness is key to finding our true physical, mental and emotional capabilities.
YOGa with weights (formally yogilates)
Our Studio Torus ‘Yoga with weights’ class is a unique and energising class which combines strengthening exercises with energising flow yoga, syncing mindful movements with the breath. Our Yoga with weights class make use of yoga and pilates equipment including weights and bands to allow you to strengthen and mobilise; stretch and relax.
Yin, Release & Restore
A combination of traditional Yin poses and myofascial release techniques. Aimed at releasing tension trapped in the muscles and connective tissue, perhaps as a result of sporting activities or the way we hold stress and anxiety in the physical body. However these practises will benefit far more than the physical body. The mental and emotional body and mind will be left feeling nourished, spacious and free.
Yin Yoga
Most of our activities are yang in nature, strong and energetic, go, go, go. To achieve optimum health of body and mind, we need not forget the yin to our yang. Through the practice of long held postures, yin yoga provides that opportunity, targeting the deeper fascia (connective tissue) of the body, nourishing the tendons, ligaments, joints and bones and inviting you to slow down and create a place of calm.
Gentle Exercise & Yoga for seniors
