In Holistic Yoga classes the whole person is balanced, eased, and nourished through the integration of yoga practices to strengthen the body, the mind, and the heart. Each session is a balance of physical yoga postures, breathwork, relaxation and meditation, leading to improved physical and mental wellbeing. In addition, each week we shall look at ways of maintaining – or improving – the health of your lower back by incorporating a variety of postures to strengthen the relevant muscles, improve posture, and ease the nagging backaches and stiffness so many of us experience.

Holistic Yoga is concerned with more than just the focus on physical postures though, and so we will learn specific breathing practices and other techniques to settle the mind, manage stress, and improve mental clarity, and each class will finish with a period of deep relaxation and meditation. Classes are accessible whether you are new to yoga or have practised before, and neither age nor fitness level matters. We work hard, but don’t take ourselves too seriously, and often go for coffee after the class.
