Wrist Relief | Hands Free Flow – 45 mins

With Natasha Meehan.
This practice is ideal if you have wrist issues, because it avoids placing weight on your hands. This means no movements like down dog or chaturanga (which put pressure on the wrists); instead, we will complete a series of moves with postures that include twisting, balancing and standing. It’s advisable to bring two blocks/books as props to get the most out of this class.

Yin for Emotional Release – 45 mins

With Aga Chojnacka.
This yin yoga class focuses on opening up the hips and releasing tension in the body’s fascia. We’ll hold poses for longer periods to allow for a deeper release of tension.
Expect to move into hip-opening poses like pigeon and dragon, and use a foam roller in myofascial release techniques for added relaxation. Remember to focus on breathing deeply throughout each pose and tune in to your body’s needs. Adjust the intensity of each pose as needed, to ensure a comfortable and safe practice.
Incorporating mindfulness and relaxation techniques, this yin yoga class is perfect for those seeking to unwind and release tension in the body.

Backbends – for Posture and Stress Relief – 45 mins

With Aga Chojnacka.

The work towards more challenging asanas – like Full Locust (Poorna Salabhasana), explored in this practice – will help you release stress from your chest and heart area, improve your posture, and invigorate you on a hormonal level. This class will give you a strong basis in advancing your practice and helping you enjoy being in the moment.

Fire Flow – Twists – 40 mins

With Maider Arrausi.
Twists in elemental yoga are related to fire, an element that’s always in motion. In many ways – both literal and figurative – fire gives us mobility, power, warmth, transformation and light. Maider will guide you through a twisty sequence to ignite the fire within, build up some heat and maybe nourish your inner creativity and inspiration.

Balancing Flow – 45 mins

With Maider Arrausi.
Balancing poses help to improve steadiness in the ankle joints, strengthen the core and legs, and enhance focus. They also help bring attention to the present moment, giving us direct feedback when we are not fully present.
During this class, Maider will guide your approach to a number of balancing poses, giving easier and more challenging variations.

Whole-body Opening Flow for after Work – 45 mins

With Chris Molloy.
Take a break from the desk and unwind. Grab your mat, a blanket and two blocks (or hard-backed books) and allow your body to open.
Our modern lives are spent mainly seated – over laptops, driving, texting. This flow will invite you to open out and release the tension of the day. Everything is optional, but the more you practice these asana and take the time at the start and end of the class to tune inwards, you might find space and breath in parts of your body that have been previously stuck.

Twisty Flow to Bird of Paradise (Svarga Dvijasana) – 45 mins

Yin for the Spine – 45 mins

With Catherine Bernard
In this 45-minute practice, Cat will take you through a selection of Yin postures that target the spine. In our daily lives, we might move the spine in two directions at most, and that’s why so many people feel stiff and get back pain. In this practice, the spine will move in all directions: forward, sideways, backward and twists.
The benefits will be physical, with improved mobility and range of motion, as well as energetic, as a lot of nerves, blood vessels and organs are connected to the spine.

Ladder Flow – 45 mins

With Oksana Burke
This is a 45 minutes Vinyasa Ladder Flow – a nice stretch for the whole body.
Ladder flows are continuous and receptive. We’ll be repeating the same sequence, but adding new poses and movement each time as we go through it. Ladder flows are really good for working on flexibility – each time you repeat a pose you have an opportunity to go a little deeper. They are also a great way to practice staying present.

Third Eye Chakra Yin Yoga – 40 mins

With Aoife McDermott
6th Practice within the Chakra series.
As we enter the brow chakra, we look back at the steps behind us with new vision. Adding indigo to our ever-expanding bridge we now have enough colors to see that we are, indeed, building a rainbow. Once we see what the pattern is becoming, we can intuit the steps necessary to complete it. Our sight gives us guidance. We can see where we have been, where we are now, and predict where we are going.

Throat Chakra Yin Yoga – 40 mins

With Aoife McDermott
Part 5 of the Chakra Yin Yoga Series.
As we enter the etheric level of the throat chakra, we enter a paradoxical realm of great subtlety yet powerful influence. The enveloping element of air still surrounds us, yet we reach beyond it into the unknown ether—the realm of vibrations, sound, communication, and creativity. We have passed the halfway point in our rainbow. In the dance between liberation and manifestation, we are now leaving the balance of the heart to focus more heavily on the upper chakras.

With Aoife McDermott

Sacral Chakra Yin Yoga – 40 mins

With Aoife McDermott
Part 2 of the Chakra Yin Yoga Series.
As we enter the second chakra, we encounter the watery realm of emotions and sensuality. Where we have worked for grounding and stability in the first chakra, we now cultivate feelings and movement; Our associated element has shifted from the element of earth in chakra one, providing support and containment for the fluid essence of chakra two, much like a cup holds water. Invite yourself to feel, sense, and experience the ever moving, fluid energetic resonance of the Sacral Chakra in this 40 min yin yoga practice.
