YOUR EXPERIENCE
Yoga
The traditions of yoga are important to us and we’ll guide you through the poses quite often using the sanskrit name, but we’ll also repeat in English. Most classes are mainly yoga asana (pose) based incorporating breath work and relaxation or a meditation, depending on the class. We say breath work rather than pranayama (conscious breathing/breath control) as in general classes we don’t encourage the extended retention of the breath, which is how pranayama is categorised. So expect to be connected to the breath, using simpler techniques that can calm, soothe and aid meditation and relaxation.
Yoga, spirituality and it’s wonderful philosophy go hand in hand. We might touch on it as part of a class theme or structure – however in-depth philosophy teachings, chanting and mantra are generally reserved for specialised workshops.
Ultimately, we are here to guide you through your practice safely. No intrusive adjustments and no judgements, just encouragement. We want to give you time and space to learn about your body, the poses and the wonderful benefits a yoga and mediation practice can have on you!

Pilates
Classes at the studio are mat based classes. Generally, classes are mixed level, meaning the exercises are ‘layered’ to enable clients to work at a level which is suitable for them that day.
Props such as soft balls, resistance bands and light hand weights are added for a bit of variety.
Testimonials
“‘I have been re-practicing yoga every week now for the last six weeks with Sian and am absolutely delighted with the results. I started this recent course of yoga with an injury. The pain has now gone and I can return to my normal routine of running. Sian’s classes are a gentle as you want them to be. The postures are varied and there is a different focus every week. You might enter feeling the stresses of the day but after an hour you leave feeling completely relaxed and refreshed..”

“As a relative beginner to Yoga and suffering from Lockdown stiffness, Sian’s beginner’s class was just what I needed to ease my body back into finding its strength, balance and flexibility. Sian took the time to focus on each of us in the class and it was a thoroughly enjoyable 6-week course.“
