There is a perfect style of yoga for you! All you have to do is find it through your own experience and discrimination. No one can tell you, or know it for you, only you can! Get on the mat and see which style resonates with you. You will know by how you feel after the yoga class.

(join us for our ten consecutive day special to try out a few of the styles available to see if we are a fit for you!)

IndiYoga

Connecting you with your Independent Spirit!

What to expect from an IndiYoga class?

All forms of asana practice are practices to purify the body so the body is lighter to carry. IndiYoga is true to this principle and attempts to give the most balanced experience in every class.

An IndiYoga class is asanas sequenced to challenge you - if not physically, then perhaps emotionally or mentally. Through IndiYoga you can safely play with your boundaries so when life challenges you past them, you are already mentally, emotionally and physically prepared to gracefully experience and learn and grow.

This style of yoga offers the oportunity to work through your body to understand your internal dialogue. It works on your defaults and habit patterns of your mind toward freedom.

It offers experience to observe, work with and persevere through the physical to understand mental or emotional blockages in a non-violent, compassionate way.

Each class takes on the philosophy of yoga and turns it into a practical experience for you to understand a little more about yourself. Each class plants seeds for discrimination(jnana yoga), offers opportunities to work with your minds' busy-ness (raja yoga), in a devotional self-honoring life-honoring way (bhakti yoga). 

Independence arrives through observation, understanding, discrimination and discipline to apply that knowing - it's wisdom for life.

It is yoga that plays into consciousness - empowerment through the body. 

Play in these paths of yoga toward freedom.  

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga

Dynamic breath synchronised practice

Ashtanga yoga is a blend of discipline and free flowing movement called Vinyasa.

With regular practice it offers the yoga student the experience of meditation in movement. It is a highly technical practice of the same set sequence, allowing you to understand the sequence and work on all the layers until they culminate in one delicious experience of concious awareness!

It is Dynamic, requires strength and builds strength. Beginners find Ashtanga hectic - it is part of the design, to work on your mind toward a calm in the chaos. It requires perseverance and patience, two qualities that you will learn if you take on  this form of yoga ! The challenge of this form of yoga is that it easily becomes a project of the ego, something to win over and achieve over - a friendly reminder!

This practice, daily, 99% on the mat, creates a pure quality of mind! It is fundamental in changing the texture of energy of the mental body!

Hatha Yoga

Hatha yoga asanas are represented in all other styles of yoga.

Varied sequences, classes focus on specific areas of the body to open, stretch, strengthen etc. These classes when taught by Kerry usually have a theme to them of philosophy, practical alignment awareness, working smart - not hard - facilitating deeper awareness in all parts of the body; when offered by Brian and Bryony, the classes are a more gentle meditative experience.

Hatha yoga is a diverse subject of set sequencing to challenge the mind, or varied sequencing to challenge the body. Each class is UNIQUE and an adventure that unfolds!

Vinyasa Yoga

Creative movement and meditation

A dynamic hatha yoga class that is challenging and interesting. This is a breath syncronised yoga class, the challenge is to slow down the breath to move your body with the breath. Inbetween poses are held for long periods of time to attain meditation in the pose and to remain with intention in the pose despite discomfort. These classes can entertain you, push you to try new poses and expand your expectations of yourself.

Iyengar Yoga

The props, blocks and straps yoga

A form of yoga that uses props to aid every body into each posture, focussing on alignment technique right down to the mind in your baby toe! Workshops are offered at the studio.

Anusara Yoga

Flowing with Grace

This yoga takes alignment and adds a dose of heart. The language speaks to finding personal expression in a pose once the structure and alignment are in place. This form of yoga knows no boundaries and stretches you to stretch your mental perceptions and move into places you might not have thought possible. It is playful and challenging to be fully living in your beautiful self!
