This class is intended especially for the “young at heart” although it is open to anyone and no experience of yoga is necessary. As long as you can get down to the floor and up again you are fit enough!

The aim is to undo all the stiffness and the aches and stresses that have accumulated in our bodies over the years and also improve strength and suppleness.

We usually start on the floor with lots of gentle and relaxing warm up movements to get the joints mobilised and some simple techniques to improve breath awareness. This is followed by stronger strengthening movement and stretches that you can do at your own level and pace, and it's always fine to miss something out! I like students to take what they need from classes.. resting where needed or adapting. The purpose of these classes is to gently strengthen and mobilise our bodies so we can carry on enjoying the lives we lead.

We end with a period of relaxation.

Classes are small to allow for individual attention and cost £7 a session. I am a Yoga Alliance UK teacher with over 8 years of experience and I specialise in teaching functional yoga. I'm also qualified to teach Somatic Yoga (no stretching, but an amazing way to release tight muscles and erase life long pain). I regularly blend the technique into the classes. You are welcome to come to just one class to see if you like it. Usually I can provide mats and but currently it's advised that students will need to bring their own. Please wear loose clothing and bring something warm to wear/or to cover yourself for the relaxation.
