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.

I discovered kundalini yoga and meditation 10 years ago and within 6 months I was on the teacher training. I feel passionate about this style of yoga, and the transformative benefits it can have. At the time I was experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety. Kundalini yoga really supported me to regulate my nervous system and changed my life in so many ways. I also teach, meditation, restorative and yoga nidra. I worked in mental health for 12 years, and I have transitioned this experience into teaching yoga, creating online courses, holistic wellness coaching, and as a soul realignment practitioner.
Kundalini Yoga is an ancient technology and science. It is often referred to as the “Yoga of Awareness”. It works by using asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing), mantra (chants), mudra(hand gestures) and meditation.
These are combined together and taught in a kriya (sequence of postures) that have a specific goal working on the physical, mental and emotional levels. They are designed to bring about balance and transformation by working on a particular system of the body. When doing a kriya we could be
working on the nervous, lymphatic, endocrine, or immune system.
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.

Mindful Yin Yoga
Thursdays 6pm
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.

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”.

Join Louise for a Sunday evening weekend wind down, where we take some time out for ourselves to enjoy the grounding and calming practices of Yoga Nidra and sound healing.
The perfect way to set yourself up for the week ahead!
We'll begin the class by taking time to settle into our bodies and the space before being guided into the practice of Yoga Nidra, or Yogic Sleep, as it's often called. As you come to a place of stillness and rest, you'll receive the healing frequencies of the Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, tingshas, and chimes, to create powerful multi-layered pulses of sound.
These practices can help induce a deep meditative and peaceful state, clarity of mind, and a soothing effect on the sympathetic nervous system.
A magical way to spend your Sunday evening. I look forward to welcoming you.

Vic is a mental health and wellbeing practitioner. She has worked as a mental health nurse for many years, and has now changed to focus on a more holistic approach, focusing on mindfulness & meditation, forest bathing and breathwork.
At the sensate spa I will be running hour-long breathwork classes.
Breathing is something we do naturally every day and every night, regardless of whether we are awake or asleep, or even conscious. Whilst breathing is automatic, it is also something we can control; however, most people do not pay attention to the way they breath and as a result most of us do not breathe properly or to our full potential, which can be unhealthy for both the mind and our physical health. Breath work practice has been around for centuries; however, science is just beginning to catch up and is starting to provide evidence of all the benefits of conscious and effective breathing practices.
It has been shown to help with conditions like anxiety, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and ADHD. It can also help us to become physically healthier by stabilizing blood pressure and strengthening the respiratory and immune systems.
The goal of coming to breathwork classes is to increase awareness of our breath and learn how to connect with it and breath properly. We will be learning breathing techniques and exercises that help to cleanse and energise our bodies and minds and promote a healthy feeling of inner peace and wellbeing. As with everything, the more consistent your practice the more beneficial this will be so the techniques you learn can be used whenever required in day to day life.
