      Gentle Seniors & Accessible Yoga

      As we get older or find ourselves with injuries, we may find certain positions less comfortable and we need a more gentle approach. This class can be taken in a chair or on the mat or a combination of both. Any yoga posture can be adapted to suit the individual or an alternative posture used to bring the same benefits. This class will leave the student feeling that they have worked in a way that is stimulating yet remains comfortable at all times.

      Sivananda Yoga

      Sivananda is traditional Hatha yoga based on 12 classical postures and always starts with pranayama (breathing exercises). Stimulating the body and relaxing between postures with a long final relaxation gives the nervous system the rest and repair we so desperately need. While the physical body gains strength and flexibility, working with the breath develops concentration calming the mind and emotions. Based on a spiritual philosophy integral yoga is taught as a lifestyle including proper exercise, breathing, relaxation, diet, positive thinking & meditation.

      The class is suitable for those without any major injuries or physical limitations.  This more dynamic form of Hatha yoga helps to build strength, increase flexibility and is suitable for those who would also like to include a slight cardio workout within their practice.  The main part of the class is made up of flowing sequences of postures with the emphasis on breath awareness and alignment to enable the mind and body to unite. There is a deep relaxation at the end of the class. These classes require a higher level of fitness and ideally some experience of yoga.
