Private Yoga Classes

Take a look below and choose the right yoga class for you.

Hatha Yoga

A yoga class described as Hatha will typically involve a set of physical postures (yoga poses) and breathing techniques. These are typically practised more slowly and with more static posture holds than a Vinyasa flow or Ashtanga class.

With this type of yoga, you move your body slowly and deliberately into different poses that challenge your strength and flexibility, while at the same time focusing on relaxation and mindfulness.

Hatha yoga places special emphasis on controlled breathing and posture. Building core strength, which is key to good posture, is another important aspect of this type of yoga.

Hatha has hundreds of poses, including well-known ones such as Downward-Facing Dog and Standing Forward Bend. Poses are usually held for several breaths before you move onto the next.

Generally, a Hatha class lasts 60 minutes. The class is divided into four sections.

Breathing

First part of the class are breathing exercises. You will do the two most important breathing exercises; Nadi Shodhana and Full Yogic Breath.

Warm-up

Second part covers warm-up exercises for the whole body. You will start by warming up your joints and hamstrings, then Surya Namaskar. Surya Namaskar provides a full body warm up to the spine as well as all the large muscle groups.

Asanas

The third part will cover 10 - 13 yoga asanas in the traditional sequence. You will hold the poses for the duration of 1 to 2 minutes depending on your capability. Every now and then there will be a resting pose in between the poses, and also relaxing poses to cool down before relaxation.

Final Relaxation

This is the most calming part of the class. Here you will get 10-15 minutes deep relaxation in Savasana (Corpse pose), you will focus on your breathing while your body is relaxing, which may put you to sleep.

Vinyasa

Vinyasa Yoga or Vinyasa Flow is breathing with movement, there will be constantly slow moving poses with breathing techniques from one pose to another pose. Every pose will be connected by breathing that can help build up your strength and flexibilty at the same time. This is suitable for pracitioners who are interested to lose weight or to get a firmer body. Acting as a work out while also helping with focus and meditation.

Yin Yoga Mindfulness

Mindful Yin Yoga classes begin with mindfulness breathing by focusing on your breath while expelling any inner judgement. Yin Yoga holds poses for 2-5 minutes depending on your capability. Mildfulness is about being aware and kind to your own body and knowing its limits. This yoga is about deep streching and grounding your energy. You will feel calm and relaxed after practicing and will need a long relaxation in Savasana.

Breathing

The first part of the class begins with breathing exercises. The student will do belly breathing, it gives them something to focus on during poses. Every inhale, feel your belly and ribs expand and with every exhale, pull your navel into your spine.

Warm-up

The second part covers warm-up exercises for the whole body. The student will start by warming up their joints and hamstrings. In this part, they will be holding poses longer than Hatha Yoga, and in each pose they will focus more on their breathing.

Asanas

The third part will cover 10 - 13 yoga asanas depending on the sequence. The student will hold the poses for the duration of 2-5 minutes depending on their capability. There will be a resting pose in between included in the sequence, and focus on breathing and awareness while holding the poses. In this practice they will find poses are for a deeper stretch.

Final Relaxation

This is the most calming part of the class. Here the student will get 10-15 minutes deep relaxation in Shavasana (Corpse pose), they will focus on their breathing while their body is relaxing.

Yoga for children

The classes aim to improve students’ brain function. The emphasis on the breath not only increases the level of oxygen flowing through the body but persuades the mind to occupy a present-moment state, giving each student the opportunity to experience a less fractured and more fulfilling approach to learning and socialising.

The classes aim to maintain and improve student's natural flexibility. There are many poses that the students can explore, all of which increase their physical and mental strength, stamina and poise.

The classes also aim to spark student’s interest in and respect for the characteristics and traits of others through empathy exercises, such as partner work and techniques that draw attention to the correlation between how another person is uniquely animated through their own actions and words.
