Yoga classes

Yoga classes are a supportive way to learn and practice yoga. You will be practicing alongside like-minded people. Barbara’s yoga classes are friendly and welcoming and are a great way to socialise and make new friends.

Yoga is non-competitive and adaptable to every shape, size, gender, age group and level of fitness. Suitable for beginners and ‘yoga returners’ who may not have practiced for some time.

Come practice with us and you will be alongside people who are not trying to produce a ‘perfect’ pose. They are instead working with their own unique body to find their own expression of a pose, and working from within to find calm and rest.

Gentle Hatha flow classes

Gentle Hatha Yoga classes are performed at a slower pace and the poses are less intense. We focus on correct alignment for safety and stability, and adapt and modify the poses to make them accessible to each individual body. There is a strong emphasis on stretching and low impact movements, and meditation, breathwork and relaxation are included in a well rounded class.

Gentle Hatha classes are suitable for beginners and ‘yoga returners’ who may not have practiced yoga for some time.

Yoga Fusion

Having offered a range of different yoga styles, this class is all about what students say they’ve enjoyed and feel they’ve benefitted from the most. Yoga poses and practices are drawn from energy building Hatha, intensity building and meditative Yin, and relaxing Restorative yoga styles. This content is carefully blended to deliver a balanced and fully rounded practice to benefit the muscles, joints and fascia, developing strength, balance and flexibility. Meditation to develop concentration and benefit the nervous system helps to bring focus and calm to the mind; and breathwork to promote relaxation and mindfulness and support multiple aspects of physical health including lung and brain function, and blood pressure are also included.

Pose modification and a Hatha approach to pose alignment, together with a relaxed pace make this class suitable for beginners and practitioners of all levels of experience, and enjoyable for all.

Chair yoga

When we age we start to loose strength and develop stiffness in joints and muscles. We may also have reduced strength, flexibility and mobility if we are recovering from illness or injury.

Using a chair as a prop makes yoga accessible to anyone who for any reason finds it difficult to get down to the floor or back up again. Chair yoga provides options: you can sit on the chair or you can use the chair to hold onto for balance and support.

Chair Yoga has another advantage - a chair yoga class is an opportunity to meet other people and enjoy some conversation and company. In a chair yoga class with Barbara we have fun with around 45/50 minutes of yoga followed by on opportunity to rest, chat and enjoy a sociable cup of tea and some delicious cake.

Chair yoga is suitable for seniors and anyone managing pain, weakness or recovering from injury.
