Online and Physical

If you’re new to yoga or new to us, then this page will give you all the information you need to know about the style and structure of our yoga classes available. As well as the times and days our yoga classes run, there’s also more info on the pricing structure too, which can help you save money, depending on how many classes you would like to do.

Online classes

The online yoga classes have been running since April 2020 and vary from week to week in terms of theme and focus, so there's always new elements to learn and new tricks and tips to pick up. The online classes are just as popular now as they were in lockdown. We run these via Zoom and the majority of people leave their cameras on so we get a feel for people’s energy levels and ability throughout the class. You will be muted upon arrival into the class, which means you can join late if you need to without worrying about disrupting the class.

Structurally the classes are similar, we tend to start with breathing and gentle stretches, before moving onto Sun Salutations to warm the body up. We work through a series of standing and balancing poses, followed by seated or floor work; and then move onto some gentle backbends and inversions, ending with a little relaxation.

With the variety of themes each week, we may focus on opening the hips one week or balance the next. Some weeks are mixed to so you get to work the whole body. With the online, it's more which time and day suits you.

Another great online session tonight. You are particularly good at helping improve body awareness, with exactly the right descriptions of the precise spots for feeling stretches, or specific muscles working which slowly transfers to our own practice and even our everyday movements. Fabulous. Thank you Emma.

Online yoga library - access anytime

If the online class times and days don’t suit you, or you just don’t like Zoom, then you may like to explore the Online Yoga Class Library we have. It’s a website platform that you can access anywhere, with a simple password. With over 230 yoga class videos available, there’s something for everyone, including themed and focused classes, restorative and Yin Yoga sessions, as well as a Runners’ specific yoga class and Ashtanga Primary and Second Series sessions.

Other yoga style classes

There are two exceptions to the schedule, in terms of style. Both classes are on Thursdays. In the morning, we have a Core Body Strong yoga class at St Mary’s Centre, Handbridge; 9:30-10:30am. This is core-focused and typically includes a lot of exercise drills to improve our overall body strength. Expect lots of planks, shoulder-strength, wrist work, hip flexors and core strength. You will definitely build up a sweat in the first 40 mins as we work through the exercise drills together. The final 20 minutes is used for some fun inversions. This can be anything you’re working towards personally, like headstand, handstand, crow pose, side crow, shoulder stand, etc. Even if you’re brand new to this core-focused class, you’ll quickly develop the strength and look more toned within a matter of weeks. It’s a lovely modern space and we have two big doors open at the back to give us a lovely breeze which keeps us cool throughout the session.

On Thursday evenings, we run an online Ashtanga yoga class which can be a stronger, faster-paced session but the beauty of this is that it’s a set routine of postures, so as you become more familiar with the sequence as you progress and it can start to feel easier. I teach this as a led, guided class so it’s suitable for beginners too. I always provide modifications so the yoga class is accessible to everyone. It’s a longer class at 90 minutes. We do alternate this class by doing the Ashtanga Primary Series one week and the Ashtanga Second Series the following week. During this online class, via Zoom, people typically leave their cameras on, so more personalised feedback can be provided, if requested.

1-2-1 or Group Yoga Classes

1-2-1s yoga sessions can be organised at a time that suits you. People sometimes book these to learn a few of the basics initially before moving onto online or physical yoga classes. These 1-2-1 yoga sessions can be done online or in person. If in person, we can practice outside if that’s a preference. If the 1-2-1 is done online, it’s good to have a camera and mic on your computer or phone so that we can see you which will allow us to give you more personalised feedback. 1-2-1s can also be booked as a 1-2-2, for example a couple could book a session to understand more about assisting each other in their own practice, or simply just for fun. The price is the same for a 1-2-2 or 1-2-1.

Group yoga sessions can be arranged for a corporate yoga class; Hen Party or Stag Do which can be super fun, as we tend to run a Partner Yoga session. We can take lots of photos too during the session so you have lots of lovely memories.
