All of our safely distanced Hot Yoga classes are Mindful Flow Hatha yoga
We warm the room to around 30-32 degrees. You will sweat! This warmth allows you to safely stretch your muscles, burn a lot of energy and leave with glowing skin and feeling amazing. The body responds well to the heated room; the muscles relax and you will feel more flexible. The heat intensifies the practice and it becomes more of a cardiovascular workout. We have a choice of 60 and 75-minute classes.
The skin, as the body's largest organ, is designed to sweat and this process is a healthy way to move fluid through our system. Regular hot yoga is also a great way to maintain a healthy body weight.
We welcome beginners to all of our yoga classes and hot yoga is a brilliant start as it will naturally make you feel more flexible. Since we opened in 2014 over 80% of our new students have never tried yoga before, we are all beginners every morning and each student can practise at their own pace, rest when they need to, and choose modifications that are right for their own body and fitness level.
If you prefer a dedicated beginner class we currently have 3 classes every week which are a slower pace, less people in the class and more basic posture and transitions taught. These are
Mondays at 8.15pm
Tuesdays at 7.30pm
Saturdays at 5 pm
If you want to use our yoga mats for free, please make sure you bring a large towel to cover the mat, this is for hygiene reasons
We sell good quality yoga mats at cost price of £20 and mat towels for only £25-30 made from recycled plastic bottles.
If you practice regularly it is worth investing in a yoga mat towel. We sell good quality, non-slip towels that last for many years in a range of colours.
Please make sure you are well hydrated before coming to hot yoga.
Yin yoga is yielding into stillness
Yin Yoga
A yin practice is the perfect balance to the dynamic, hot yoga classes. The room is not hot; the postures are held for longer and the focus is drawn within. As you remain in the pose for between 3-5 minutes, the muscles relax and the focus is on the ligaments and the alignment of your bones. This practice has been referred to as Acupuncture with out the needles. The energy pathways in the body are cleared and opened, this leads to healing and a feeling of deep relaxation.
Current guidelines mean that you must bring your own mat, a pillow case and a cushion to your class.
Gentle Hatha Yoga
Each week you will be guided through a different simple, relaxing sequence, classes include: yoga nidra; meditations; breathing exercises and mindful sequences. Suitable for all abilities.

Powerful energetic and dynamic
Warm Dynamic Vinyasa Flow
Currently Wednesday at 9.30 am and Fridays at 5.30 pm
A faster paced style of vinyasa yoga, evolved from astanga vinyasa including vigorous dynamic movement. Some yoga experience or a few months of regular practice is recommended before you attend a dynamic vinyasa class.
It is a great mind and body workout. We transition through the practice with continual flowing movement. Linking movement with breath is an ancient, proven method to strengthen the body and quieten the mind. These classes are stronger and more enjoyable if you have a reasonable level of fitness. Not suitable for complete beginners unless you love a challenge and you feel physically strong and confident
Yoga Nidra
or 'yogic sleep' is an ancient Indian tradition. The body is completely relaxed and awareness is increasingly drawn to the 'inner body'. It can help to relieve pain; encourage positive sleep; support fertility; ease tension and anxiety, and aid recovery from surgery and illness.
Current guidelines mean that you must bring your own mat, a pillow case and a cushion to your class.
