Slow flow yoga is a gentle, breath-based practice that links movement with a relaxed pace, combining elements of Vinyasa and Hatha yoga. Suitable for anyone seeking a joint-friendly routine. Improves physical stamina, stability, range of motion over time and reducing stress.

Morning Yin Yoga is a meditative and passive fascia & connective opening practice. To maximize the benefits and increase your flexibility, it is best to practice when your muscles are cold i.e. in the morning. If your muscles are already warmed up and loose they will take the tension of the stretch away from those deeper connective tissues. It might seem counterintuitive at first because your body is stiff in the mornings but that is actually the best time to have the greatest impact on the stretch moving into the deeper layers of your body.

This class is an effective and accessible exercise for everyone. Using the chair for seated poses and balancing poses takes advantage of the many benefits yoga provides: increased circulation, feelings of well-being, and decrease in blood pressure, anxiety, inflammation, and chronic pain.

Reduce stress: Mindfulness is an inherent part of yoga. Focusing on movement,  breathing, and how your body is reacting to the exercise creates a kind of moving meditation that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and improves mental clarity.
