Hamstrings & Lower Back - 18 mins
Shortened hamstrings pull on the sit bones of the pelvis, which can cause a tilt that puts extra strain on our lower back. Today, we’ll work to lengthen the back of the legs using dynamic movement. We’ll also activate the glutes because when these muscles aren't working fully, the hamstrings and lower back try to pick up the slack, leading to that tired, tight feeling.

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!

Neck and Shoulder Melt - 44 mins
Let's move to melt away the tension from the neck and shoulders, muscle by muscle. Whatever stress or weight you are carrying with you today - whether it's from work or school exams - we are going to leave it behind. Allow that stress to dissolve into the background as we anchor our focus entirely on the body and the breath.

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
Upper Body Charge & Release - 44 mins
We have a dual intention for this upper body-focused class. We'll integrate movements designed to charge the upper back and shoulders, building heat and strength. We'll introduce mobility work and stretches too, to release tension from the shoulders and create space in the upper spine.
Hatha Flow Yoga
Flow to Flourish - 42 mins
Whilst we all have our favourite yoga poses, I hope you find joy in feeling your body flourish through movements that are strong, agile and mobile. The sequencing today includes a fun challenge in Cleopatra pose that will draw on your hip flexibility and shoulder strength combined.
Vinyasa Yoga
Lizard - 38 mins
Today's class explores lizard pose as a traditional longer-held posture, but also as a dynamic movement pattern. It will be a fun way to work on moving through big hip ranges with plenty of control, strength and mindfulness.
