Yoga Basics
If you are new to yoga, this is a great place to start to learn at a slower pace in a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. Learn the basics of the yoga practice, breathing techniques and postures. If you have a regular practice, revisit the basics in this class to build a stronger foundation.
Hot Flow (30 degrees)
Come sweat it out with us in a 30-degree Celsius infrared and/or hydronic heated room. This class is a set sequence inspired by Bikram yoga and Iyengar yoga in which we practise in a hot but silent room (no background music). Teacher gives minimal cues on the poses, which gives the opportunity to turn our attention inwards and experience a more meditative practice. Nothing feels better than ending the day with a sweaty class.
Alignment
Alignment focuses on finding a clear and intelligent alignment in each pose (asana) which ultimately allows for the energy to flow freely throughout the body. Students are encouraged to explore each posture thoroughly by using props, partner work and drills.
Transform your practice as well as make advanced poses possible and basic poses more interesting. Explore new ways of accessing basic poses that will challenge your range of motion and increase the therapeutic benefits of the practice. Build the strength and resilience that will help you transform your practice and make more advanced poses possible. The results are renewed confidence, a sense of freedom and joy.
Full inversions, arm balances and backbends may be explored in this luxuriously longer class (75 or 90 minutes). No background music will be used to allow you to fully tune in to the inner workings of your body and mind.

Hot Vinyasa (30 degrees)
Integrate alignment, movement, core-strength, and awareness through Vinyasa. Keep the body fully engaged in the present moment through this moving meditation by synchronising breath with movement and becoming strong and resilient both on and off the mat. By focusing on breath leading the movement, we learn to quiet the mind and stay in the present moment.
Designed to warm your body through moderate pacing and subtle reminders to move from your centre, activate the energetic and literal centre of your balance and strength through this invigorating practice!
Yin
Yin targets the deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. Itβs slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because youβre holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.
