Group Classes: £10 drop-in
Our first online classes will be on Monday evenings (23rd & 30th March) and Wednesday mornings (25th March & 1st April) - see details below.
These classes are in real time through a video link to your computer, tablet or smart phone. They are just like our regular classes, with a well rounded, accessible yoga practice. These classes are open to anyone who has attended our classes or workshops in the past.
You will need to book in advance using the form below - the bookings close one hour in advance of each class.
If you have credit from previously paid classes, you can use your credit for these online classes.

How does the video link work?
We are using the video conference service Zoom. Once you have booked your classes, we will email a link to you at least 24 hours in advance of the class (or as soon as possible if you make your booking within 24 hours of the class). Once you have clicked on the link, follow the instructions. You do not need to have a Zoom account to join the class, but you will be prompted to download Zoom software to access the class. We will open each class about 15 minutes in advance of the start time, but you will also to be able to join in to the group class if you arrive after the start time.
Many of us are new to this technology and we expect to iron out any glitches as we all get used to it!
We look forward to seeing you in our new digital yoga studio....

About our yoga classes
We welcome all levels of yoga experience, including absolute beginners as well as those with many years practice, with each person practicing according to their own ability and advancing at their own rate. Our classes bring together the flow, alignment and core stability of ashtanga yoga (primary, intermediate and advanced series) with further breathing, relaxation and meditation techniques to create a dynamic and restorative yoga practice. This practice helps to align the body and spine, to improve concentration and to build strength, flexibility and balance. We are both Senior Yoga Teachers registered with the Yoga Alliance Professionals. As your yoga teacher, our role is to enable you to develop a beneficial and safe practice appropriate to your own ability and aims and to guide you in building your own personal yoga practice.
About Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga is a refined system of therapeutic yoga postures. Each position is linked to the next through a series of flowing movements called ‘vinyasa’. Postures and vinyasa are woven together by rhythmical breathing, creating a dynamic, purifying yoga sequence, revitalising the body and leaving the mind focused and vibrant.
Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga was developed by Sri K Pattabhi Jois under the tutelage of Krishnamacharya in Mysore, India. In the 1970's Nancy Gilgoff and David Williams were among the first westerners to study ashtanga yoga with Pattabhi Jois in India and they were instrumental in introducing ashtanga yoga to the USA and thereby to the wider world, especially through one of their earliest students, Danny Paradise, musician, world traveller and yogi.
Traditionally, the physical practice of yoga (asana postures , pranayama breath control) develops the discipline, focus and stamina required for increasingly profound meditation. It can also be a valuable end itself for general fitness and wellbeing or for remedial purposes after injury or illness. A novice yoga practitioner soon feels the effect that this practice has on their body and in turn their overall sense of wellbeing.
