ASHTANGA YOGA LEVEL 1
This beginner-friendly class follows the Ashtanga Vinyasa method, guiding you through part of the Primary Series (Yoga Chikitsa), which is known for its therapeutic benefits.
We will practice the standing, seated, and closing postures at a slower pace, focusing on integrating breath, posture, and gaze to cultivate steadiness, calmness, and awareness of both body and mind.
Most importantly, we will use the practice to cultivate love, kindness, and acceptance, recognising that yoga is a reflection of life, where there is no separation—only union.

HATHA FLOW
BOOK HERE
Sarah emphasises practicing mindfully and listening to the body’s intuitive feedback. In her classes, she always refers back to an awareness of the breath. Yoga shall not merely ground and strengthen, but support us to find a peaceful path to our inner essence. She shares her philosophical understanding of yoga with her students, inviting them to lead their awareness from the mind into the space of the heart and to reside in that space.
FRIDAY
POSTNATAL YOGA COURSE
with Carla Araos
10:45 - 11:45
POSTNATAL YOGA COURSE WITH OR WITHOUT BABIES
BABIES ARE MOST WELCOME!
→ SEE MORE POSTNATAL DATES ← The key for postnatal recovery is consistency, but we understand that planning with small babies is not always easy, so it is possible to book each session separately.
The Postnatal class is in a smaller setting than a regular class, it is a semi-private group with a maximum of 9 participants. In this way, mums and babies have space to be comfortable and mums get a more personalised class that focuses on effective alignment and adjustments to ease their postnatal recovery.
Postnatal Yoga offers support on a physical level, helping your body to recover and regain strength after birth in the pelvic floor region, abdominal wall and back. It helps to release the neck, shoulders and upper back. On a mental level, postnatal yoga helps you to relax and feel more grounded. Group classes also provide an opportunity to meet other mums and create a community.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE STUDIO ACCESS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR LARGE PUSHCHAIRS (there is a narrow staircase and no lift. However, if you have a smaller stroller or collapsable one, this can easily be brought inside).
