CLASSES
VINYASA FLOW
Using the breath to synchronize and link each asana
Vinyasa Flow is a slightly faster flowing style of yoga. There is a creative element, so no two classes will be the same. In Vinyasa Flow there is a greater focus on using the breath to move between postures and create heat within the body.
SLOW FLOW
Move deeper into your practice
With elements of Yin Yoga and Vinyasa Flow. Slow Flow focuses on holding asanas for a longer period of time to reach the connective tissues improving flexibility and boosting circulation to the joints. This class is perfect for those looking for a more therapeutic practice.
CHAIR YOGA
For seniors and those with less mobility
Chair Yoga is ideal for yogis looking for a very gentle practice. It is a form of yoga therapy that is practiced sitting on, or standing using a chair for extra support. It is also a great way to learn how to inject movement into daily routines for example on long flights and whilst at work.

PREGNANCY CLASS TESTIMONIALS
''I felt strong, empowered, grounded and present. I loved the gentle flow but with what felt like a good stretch which was supportive and safe to bump and baby. I loved Poppy’s warm, friendly and supportive energy and her guidance into movements.''
''I was able to zone out and start my day in a meaningful way. I found the class the right level of challenge so it was also nice to feel I'd done some sort of morning
workout. I really liked that I felt safe throughout the class. Poppy explained, at all times, how and when to use different props to support me. Additionally, every position, transition and breathing was explained really well and I felt confident and safe throughout the practice. I really enjoyed the class.''
