A 45 minute heart-centred yoga class guiding you through intentional poses to create space in the body and mind. It is sealed with a guided relaxation allowing your nervous system to restore and rejuvenate. Perfect for those seeking balance, inner connection, and a reset from the inside out. 

Participants can expect a more dynamic and powerful flowing class with the opportunity to learn the traditional opening mantra.  Breath leads the movement and the practice teaches us about how we feel as we move through the practice rather than what we might look like.Suitable for those who want a stronger more flowing practice.  Getting tired is fine, getting hot is fine, getting confused is fine, resting is fine.It is not recommended to take this practice when you are injured. 

This class is a slow version of vinyasa, it is beginner to intermediate with variations in poses. We begin with Pranayma (breathwork) to ground, calm the mind, and bring ourselves into our bodies. We then move into Asana (pose) sequence. To integrate our practice we in the end, we lie down and have Shivasana (relaxation). Please bring a yoga mat, comfortable clothes, and a blanket for a cosy ending. Please arrive a few minutes before the class starts , turning off your phones when you arrive or leaving them in your car. See you there!

You know the feeling - Friday is ending, the weekend isn’t quite here, it’s no longer afternoon, and not quite evening, summer is close, and holidays are on the horizon…daylight savings seems like a portal extending the time in between day and night…landing us in the soft blur of the twilight zone!
For a limited time please join Russelle for an additional class crafted to meet the mood of these days and the experience of the students.

Expect a slower physical practice, using the breath to guide the expression of various postures (sitting, standing and lying down).  This time is intended to create some warmth in the body through purposeful movement, a sense of overall space & quiet for our savasana (integration/relaxation) as the day draws to an end. 

Participants can expect breathwork, mantra and a physical practice that begins with a gentle warm up, followed by sun salutations, inversions, back bending and savasana (integration/relaxation).  This session takes a more traditional approach in that we focus on the particular purpose and benefit of each pose including the order in which they are taken.  

There are modifications for every posture. 

Yin Yoga draws together yogic science, Traditional Chinese Medicine and functional anatomy. 
Predominantly Yin Yoga is based on floor postures held for extended periods (2-10 mins) creatively using props (and the additional class length) to ensure maximum benefit of each posture and the session overall.  
There isn’t much movement, and we don’t generate heat in the body, so dress in layers to make sure you don’t get cold.  Yin Yoga is a widely accessible practice and the benefits are enjoyed by people of all ages, abilities and experience.
Through this quiet, still and introspective approach, connective tissue quality is enhanced, energy channels are stimulated and improvements in physical mobility, mental clarity and emotional regulation are gained
