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
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.
