Warm & Hot Vinyasa Yoga

At the heart of any yoga practice is breath. Use yours to navigate the mental & physical challenges that arise in hot vinyasa yoga, & before long it will work its magic on other corners of your life. Gain energy, release anxiety, boost focus, & reduce aches & pains – all while improving muscle tone.

Don’t be fooled by the name: warm/hot vinyasa yoga is for everyone, regardless of fitness, flexibility, age, & experience. No two classes follow the same sequence, while each session is an opportunity to move with compassion for the body you’ve been given, learning to accept its quirks, & play with wherever your edge is on any given day, in any given posture.

The pace of modern life can often leave us feeling pickled in cortisol. Let warm/hot vinyasa yoga help you to carve out a sense of peace & greater purpose.

Yin Yoga

Yin yoga uses held, largely floor-based postures to energise your body’s myofascial connective tissues – fascia, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, bones and joints – to increase flexibility, boost organ health, heal the body and quiet the mind.

While passive in postures – relaxing muscles & allowing gravity to do its thing – the journey inwards can challenge yogis as much as active styles of yoga (sometimes more so) as they sit with whatever comes up.

Yin is the perfect antidote to our ‘achieve, achieve, achieve’ culture. Using blocks, bolsters, blankets & straps as needed, it’s accessible to every age, size & experience level.

Hot Yoga (26 Postures)

Whatever your age, fitness or experience, the 26 asana (postures) that make up the Hot Yoga sequence will work their magic on every curve, corner, and cell in your body.

With the studio heated up to 38°C, just some of the (sweaty) benefits of Hot Yoga include increased energy, lower blood pressure, improved digestion, and reduced stress.

The heated room helps to warm muscles quickly, enabling you to safely deepen your practice. New to Hot Yoga? If you feel dizzy or, well, hot, simply come to kneeling or lying, connect with your breath, and re-join the other sweaty yogis only when you’re ready.

Restorative Yoga & Energy Healing

Supported by props, restorative yoga typically includes just a few asana (postures) and allows you to completely relax and reset.

In this small class (6 max) we combine restorative yoga with individual chakra ‘check-ins’.

Offering both hand-on and hands-off energetic work, Natalie will scan your chakras (energy centres) to see how they are flowing, and – with your energetic body’s permission – work on any blocks, imbalances, or energetic cording that isn’t serving you.

Vinyasa Flow Yoga

Vinyasa flow yoga combines breath with movement in a flowing, rhythmic practice that benefits yogis mentally, physically, emotionally & energetically. Vinyasa yoga is typically a slower pace than power yoga, but no less powerful.

Give yourself permission to get present on your mat, to tune into your body, maintain healthy alignment, & transition between postures with self-compassion.

Off the mat, explore how this heightened awareness weaves its magic into other areas of your life. Yoga’s a cheeky minx like that.

Yoga Nidra

Yoga nidra, also known as yogic sleep, works with the energetic body to induce a state of deep rest. Although you’re awake, a profound stillness & calm takes over the body, & awareness turns inwards.

In yoga, nidra is part of pratyahara – sense withdrawal. In psychology, the state we reach through yoga nidra is called hypnogogic, between sleep & wakefulness. Yoga nidra gives the conscious mind permission to relax, to stand down, so that deeper layers of consciousness can help you return to your true nature.

The Science-y Bit

Yoga nidra influences brainwaves, enabling individuals to effortlessly transition from the waking beta state of conscious thought & logical thinking, to the alpha (between waking and dreaming; hypnagogic), theta (dreaming; sub-conscious), & delta (deep sleep; unconscious) states, all while the practitioner is awake & aware.
