Classes

The School specialises in Iyengar-based Hatha yoga and is delivered in the traditional way as well as in hot classes.

We provide a variety of classes at differing levels, so whether you are new to yoga or more experienced, you'll find a class to suit you.

In addition to studying the asanas (postures), we also bring in yoga philosophy & history, anatomy and physiology, so that you are immersed into a broader, rounder experience of yoga and its benefits.

We like to teach you to tune into your nurturing energy instead of just pushing harder. This allows you to develop safely, steadily and quickly at your pace in order to reach your best potential - physically, mentally and spiritually.

Hot Yoga

Expect to be challenged, but in the best possible way!

Yoga in a heated room is just like feeling the sun's warm rays on a beautiful day - except there are no harmful UV rays. The FIR system (Far Infrared heaters) warms you from the inside, providing a therapeutic heat which will help you warm up more quickly, make your body feel looser and improve your circulation. Regular classes will build up your cardiovascular fitness, core strength and calm your mind.

It provides a great work-out for your inside body too, as your body releases all those toxins and consequently makes your skin glow and look fantastic!

The classes focus on developing strength, flexibility and fitness on all levels, physically & mentally, and is done in a heated room at 31°C.

Relax, Revive, Recharge

Fantastic for releasing fatigue, nervous and emotional tension and just a great chance to have a break away from the busy world, to let yourself rest and let go.

Ideal for pregnant ladies too!

Private therapy classes

If you have a particular injury or health problem we advise you to take out a Therapy Package.

If you are new to yoga, we can show you specific exercises tailored to your individual needs. This will not only help your injury or problem heal, but give you a better understanding of how to work with it, so in a general class situation, you will have more of an understanding of what to do.
