PILATES with Gillian: A strengthening intermediate level class focussing on the 7 principles of Pilates. 
1. Centering- all Pilates movement originates from the core or centre of your body.
2. Concentration- remain fully aware of your body during each movement. How you perform an exercise is as important as the exercise itself.
3. Control- controlled exercise yields the greatest benefits while protecting muscles from injury.
4. Precision- each exercise has a specific procedure and quality that is important to be followed precisely.
5. Breath- the link between your internal and external world.
6. Flow- quality is about tone, balance and flow. Movement efficiency is obtained with a balance between muscle contraction and relaxation.
7. Alignment- stabilising the spine and pelvis enhances the ability to concentrate, center, breathe and achieve balanced effective movements.

YIN YOGA/YOGA NIDRA with Sonia: Yin Yoga is a deeply nourishing practice which holds poses in a more passive and relaxed way for a longer period, enhancing the meridians (energy pathways) and the fascial network. This class finishes with a 30 minute Yoga Nidra, a guided meditative journey for deep relaxation and healing, where the body sleeps and the mind stays awake. Suitable for all levels.

SLOW FLOW with Carol : Slow Flow yoga is a form of Vinyasa yoga linking breath, movement and poses together. With fewer transitions than Vinyasa yoga and more flow than Hatha yoga, there is time to evaluate how and when a pose should be modified. This is a good all-round well-balanced class incorporating pranayama, strengthening, stretching and relaxation.

YIN &YOGA NIDRA COURSE with Sonia : 5 week course (7 Feb - 6 Mar).  Each week we will embody an Element (Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire). Learn the energy pathways (meridians), align and balance the Element with(y)in. Yin is a style of yoga that is mostly done on the floor, holding poses for longer, dwelling on your 'edge', with the use of yoga props to support the body. Typically in a one hour class, we might explore 5-7 poses. It is a practice steeped in mindfulness, receptivity and letting go. 

We will finish with a Yoga Nidra "awakened sleep" guided meditation, to deepen and advance the practice of embodying the Elements, the Yin state and to simply RELAX.
