Hello, I am Lucy, I started yoga in 2000 to help me stretch and strengthen my body at a time when I was doing lots of running. I soon realised that yoga was not just about stretching, it was so much more. I always felt better physically and mentally after a yoga class so I continued attending. After years of regular classes I decided to become a yoga teacher, completing my training in 2017, and have been teaching ever since.
My classes are open to everyone whether you are a beginner or already enjoy yoga. I include yoga asana and short flow sequences to strengthen and stretch the body. I also teach pranayama (breath) practice in each class to promote restoration and wellbeing.
Class: 1hr Hatha Flow
Tuesdays 9am -10am
Friday 9am - 10am

Breath Moves
A releasing Yoga, Movement and Breathwork class for you to reset at the end of the day, ready for a relaxing evening.
During this one hour class Kathleen will guide you through a variety of movements and Breathing techniques that will support the health of your whole system. Style of movements include:
-
Releasing, fluid, shaking and non linear movement
-
Slow, subtle, detailed, strengthening positions (Asanas)
-
Occasional dynamic movements
-
There will be plenty of space to embody the practices in your own way
-
A variety of functional breathwork exercises.
Breathwork links the body and the mind, and as such it can be an enormously supportive tool.
Embodied Breathwork can help you to feel more present in your body, stabilise energy levels, gain a greater sense of mental clarity and become free from blocked emotions which then allows you to articulate them.
It can also support you to work through more acute issues, such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and physical pain.
The movements will support your breath practice, and the breath practice will support how you move.
A note of reassurance about the way Kathleen teaches Breathwork:
-
Certain styles of Breathwork can aggravate issues, and make people feel ungrounded and spaced out.
-
Working systematically, slowly and in a functional way serves to avoid such unwanted side effects.
Kathleen has worked with individuals and groups incorporating Breathwork, Yoga, Movement, Relational practices, Creativity and Play to provide sessions that are both deep, effective and enjoyable.
Passionate about an honest inquiry into what it means to thrive, individually and as a society, and enjoy the dance between habit breaking and habit making as a thread to practise.
Kathleen has trained in Embodied Breathwork, Integral Yoga, embodied, improvised movement and Theatre, Clown and Circus, Authentic Relating and Fine Art.
She is currently focussed on developing skills in sensemaking and critical thinking,
and has also delved into her own psyche for over 25 years through a range of psychotherapeutic modalities, and have developed a skill at supporting other individuals' inner process through this practice.

Breath Moves - New class
Tuesdays 5.45pm
Starting 16th April
Emilia Gzyl
Mindful Yin Yoga
Thursdays 6pm
Monthly Yin workshops
The class ‘Mindful Yin Yoga’ is a slow-paced yoga with yin asanas softly held for longer periods of time, 2/3 minutes. The passive nature of long held postures gives time for a much deeper inner journey to unfold.
Yin Yoga is the practice of floor asanas addressing deep connective tissues of ligaments, fascia, joints, bones and the energetic channels of the meridians, nerves and blood system. I am also using the tools of Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to help to step out of automatic pilot and practice ‘being’ ( versus doing) in our bodies in the present moment. It’s a meditative approach to yoga promoting inner stillness and awareness.
Mindful Yin Yoga is a perfect compliment to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga – Hatha, Vinyasa and Ashtanga. welcome all levels of experience and ability to my classes, which are designed to suit the varying needs and interests of students. I very much look forward to sharing with you this wonderful healing practice. I’ll be also offering Yin Yoga workshops, Partner Yoga workshops and Massage workshops.
Darcy Summerton
QI GONG every Thursdays
7.30pm
New class starting 11th April
Darcy is a certified Qi Gong teacher deeply passionate about sharing this ancient Chinese practice to help others connect to their body, mind and environment and incorporate its many benefits into modern life.
Qi Gong meaning life-force practice is a system of gentle exercises, a 'moving meditation', that encourages the free flow of Qi (energy) around the body to strengthen and nourish it from within. Backed by scientific research, Qi Gong has been shown to improve balance, bone density, immunity, depression and anxiety and cardiovascular health and lung function.
With a fusion of movement, breathwork and meditation, Darcy's classes are a gateway to renewed energy, balance and relaxation. Classes are open to all, no previous experience required. Expect to get hooked on the natural, invigorating energy.

Joanna Lambe
1.5 hr Restorative Yoga
Friday 6pm
In Restorative classes we follow a gentle sequence of poses, mainly seated and reclining, designed to bring a calmness and release to both body and mind.
It is practised at a slower pace, focusing on staying in poses for longer, on stillness and deep breathing.
Restorative yoga supports and encourages physical, mental and emotional relaxation.
Joanna incorporates some simple breathing techniques which aid the release of tension, anxiety, pain and stress.
These techniques also help to relieve insomnia.
* deeply relaxes the body
* stills the busy mind
* releases muscular tension, improving mobility and flexibility
* balances the nervous system
* boosts the immune system
Quote
"Restorative yoga is for everyone, not just those who are recovering from illness or injury.
My classes are both energising and deeply restorative, resulting in you feeling lighter and calmer as you walk out the door.
Beginners and more experienced are welcome, regardless of your level or ability.
I look forward to welcoming you”.

1.5 hr Candlelit Restorative &
Yoga Nidra. Bi Monthly. 2nd and last Sunday of the month
Restorative yoga is a deeply relaxing style of yoga that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching. We also combine deep breathing, long holds of supported and modified yoga poses. Expect to use lots of props for a single pose that allows the body to be supported so the muscles can relax deeply. Restorative yoga was founded by B.S.K. Iyengar and was traditionally used to get your yoga practice when you were tired, sick, or injured. It is now a popular style of yoga that supports the body to rest and relax when stressed or busy and you need relief from over activity. At the end of the session you can be left feeling calm, relaxed, and your body open and refreshed.
