Bitesize Beginners/Improvers
Hips - 13 mins
Another bitesize session in programme for you this week, with a focus purely on the hips this time. We will start on the mat with strengthening bridge variations to wake up the glutes, then transition to a standing sequence to build heat and create space. You might give this class a go for a pre-run warm-up, a quick midday desk break, or a reset after a long drive.

Hips: Strengthen & Restore - 30 mins
I've designed today's class to provide balanced care for our hips. First, we'll strengthen our hips through controlled joint articulations and progressive mobility work. Afterwards, we'll close the practice with relaxing restorative yoga, which can be so helpful for releasing tension linked to a frazzled nervous system!

Waves of Movement - 36 mins
I feel that today's class title really evokes the nature of our yoga flows, where our succession of movements brings us low to the mat, then back up again, in waves in movement. It's such a great way to work our muscles dynamically, as they length and contract to adapt to each pose and transition.

Free Up Your Lower Back - 27 mins
For me, freedom of movement in the lower back means having the resilience and flexibility to adapt to every twist and turn of daily life, both on and off our yoga mat. We begin today's class with intentional breathwork, activating the deep core muscles that safeguard the spine. Next we use the ground for supported, reclined lower back movements to gently release stiffness. We finish with a mindful, flowing sequence that encourages functional stabilisation, leaving our movements feeling free.
Hatha Yoga
Wide Open - 39 mins
Let's move to unhunch, unwind and open up expansive space across the chest. As always in our hatha classes we integrate plenty of strength work, and our upper back will benefit today from movements which activate the muscles between the shoulder blades. We'll close our practice standing taller and feeling realigned.
Hatha Flow Yoga
Unscrunch Your Shoulders - 33 mins
If your shoulders feel tense and raised, you're not alone! (I'm feeling it as I write this - time for a yoga break I think). Give this class a try and hopefully your shoulders will soften and tension will melt away as we flow.
Vinyasa Yoga
Deep Folds - 32 mins
Today we are focusing on our hip hinge, a foundational movement where we will train our body to flex from the hip joints rather than the spine. We'll bring some fun poses into the sequences, improving our flexibility and strengthening the glutes and hamstrings.
