Why is most of the timetable 'dynamic yoga'?
By dynamic we simply mean movement, energy and strength!
Dozens of different classes and definitions, whilst helpful in terms of knowing exactly what you're... show more
getting, sometimes restrict yoga teachers and students of yoga. Yoga teachers have often taken multiple training from different yoga traditions and also have their own worthwhile twists and modifications to add. It is our belief that the eclectic nature of yoga (the current dominant yoga paradigm being loosely arrived at via a ramshackle mix of vedic scripture, tantric techniques and old fashioned colonial/british gymnastics) should be carried on.... and not hermetically sealed by the dictates of the modern western yoga marketing... blah blah!
In other words, give great teachers free reign to teach without boundaries and the results can be amazing! Remove the constraints and allow the teacher to teach the students present, and not the syllabus.
So what we want you to know, is that unless otherwise stated, yoga at stretch will be energetic and all about the movement!
What we don't want you to know is exactly what to expect, because where's the fun in that!
Baby - Mama (and Daddy) Yoga
Yoga for parents where you bring your lil’ one along to play, snooze, or run around wild while you find some inner calm though yoga
Toddler - Mama (and Daddy) Yoga
Yoga for parents where you bring your slightly bigger lil’ one along to play, snooze, or run around wild while you find some inner calm though yoga.
Pregnancy Yoga
Expecting a little one? Yoga can not only make the pregnancy itself easier on the body and the mother's sense of well-being, but it can also make child labor easier. Let our fully qualified teacher guide you safely in your pre-natal practise.
Core Yoga
A dynamic yoga class with strong core work. Including pilates-inspired awareness to use the body as a whole, finding release from stress patterns and strength where you need it. Incredibly helpful for creating physical stability while increasing physical and mental mindfulness. The class finished with a deep relaxation.
