Class descriptions
All Levels Hot Vinyasa
This well rounded class is suitable for all levels of practitioner. We will work with breath and movement in flowing sequences designed with alignment in mind. The class varies each week as we explore different peak poses and intentions for practicing. Music is sometimes played during this class and the temperature is approx. 36 degrees C. If you are very new to yoga, we suggest taking a few Hot Hatha or Warm Yang Yin classes before joining in the joyful dance that is Vinyasa.
All Levels Warm Yang Yin
Do you enjoy long slow deep stretching in a quiet and cozy space? Then this class is for you! We prepare ourselves for stillness with some movement and breath work at the beginning of class in order to easefully transition from activities of the day into postures and a mind frame that supports the calming of the nervous system and the opening of the body. Yin Yoga is slow paced style where the postures are held for longer periods of time to create a moderate stress on the connective tissues of the body with the aim to improve circulation, joint health and flexibility. This slow approach is inherently meditative and encourages quiet self reflection, self compassion and relaxation.This class suits absolute beginners and experienced practitioners alike. We keep the studio a cozy 29 degrees C for this class so you can relax as if you were on a mini tropical vacation.
Hot Intermediate Vinyasa
Build upon a strong foundational Vinyasa practice in this class designed for advanced beginners/intermediate students who want to explore peak poses, pranayama and meditation. Be prepared for challenge and exploration during this dynamic practice in a 36 degree C studio.
All Levels Hot Hatha
A class for all levels to help stretch, strengthen and move with ease. Classes vary week to week as different areas of the body and postures are explored. Particular attention is paid to alignment and developing an understanding of the postures, how they build on each other and their effects on the body, mind and spirit. The temperature for this class is approx. 38 degrees C.
All Levels Hot Yoga Sculpt
Yoga Sculpt has a strong focus on core awareness, building strength and increased intensity.

While this is an all levels class, if you have never done yoga before or are getting back into movement after a long sedentary period, we recommend that you take a few Hot Hatha, Warm Yang Yin, or Hot Hatha Flow classes before joining in this fun class. The temperature will be about 30 degrees but you will sweat a lot so bring lots of water and a towel for your mat.

Reflect & Connect: a 4 week Yoga and Journaling Practice
We connect with ourselves through all-levels Yoga practice and then take our practice from the mat onto the page using themed writing prompts. Both Yoga and writing help to unravel the threads of stories, ideas, opinions and understanding that we hold within us. When practiced together they offer a powerful tool for self-discovery and transformation.
In each session, there is an opportunity to share what we have written in a co-created supportive environment. Sharing and listening, without offering feedback, foster vulnerability, courage, and trust creating a compassionate connection between us.
This practice is suitable for all as no experience with yoga or writing is necessary. Please bring a willingness to participate, your favourite pen, a journal, and a water bottle. Please note: this session is not hot and needs a minimum number of 3 registrants to run.
