All classes are suitable to all bodies in the respect of your own uniqueness! My teaching style is very fluid, playful, with a great care for transitions and mindful movement. And we never take ourselves too seriously!

If you are new to yoga, you're probably not familiar with all the funny names and terms. But don't worry ! This page should help clarify !

To start with, here is a quick answer to the question "What is yoga ?". Although it would require many pages and hours to give a complete definition, here is an accessible one :

“Yoga is a set of physical and mental exercices... which is intended to give control
over the body and mind.“ Cambridge Dictionary

So nowadays, yoga classes are mostly asana practice focused (physical practice in Sanskrit). They might include pranayama exercices (breath control exercices), meditation (Dhyana), and should all finish with Savasana (resting pose for few minutes of relaxation). There are many different schools and styles of yoga. Yoga is a gift that came to us from magic India and that we are lucky to share with the world and make it part of our lives, respectful of its origins and philosophy.

Gentle Yoga

The low impact one

This style of yoga is particularly great for anyone who is completely new to yoga or who needs a low impact practice with gentle transitions. The practice is all about mindful movement and finding the best alternatives to suit your body and needs. All classes finish with a few minutes of relaxation in stillness, called “Savasana”.

Vinyasa Flow

The energetic one

Vinyasa is a style of yoga characterised by linking postures together so that you move mindfully from one to another, seamlessly, using breath. Themes and flows change all the time and can include balancing poses, standing poses, mat based poses, (fore)arms balances, inversions. All classes finish with a few minutes of relaxation in stillness, called “Savasana”.

Yoga Nidra

The yogic sleep

Yoga Nidra is a fully guided meditation, lying in stillness in Savasana where you will experience rotations of consciousness and different levels of awareness. The practice will leave you with a deep sense of relaxation. It is great especially if you experience sleeping issues, anxiety and stress.

Restorative Yoga

The relaxing one

The practice of restorative yoga will allow you to find a sense of ease and profound release, both physically and emotionally whilst holding poses in stillness for several minutes. Each pose is made more comfortable and accessible thanks to the use of props, cushions, bolsters etc. This is a way more static practice that helps create more mental flexibility as well as a strong mind-body connection.

Prenatal Yoga

The one for expecting Mamas

Pregnancy yoga classes are specifically tailored for pregnant women from 12 weeks until the end of pregnancy. Prenatal yoga will allow you to find ease throughout pregnancy and ease-off any sense of discomfort. It is also a great way to connect with your growing baby.ies and prepare for birth, both physically and mentally. Find out more about Pregnancy Yoga and birth preparation with me here and find my pregnancy yoga classes on the Yogi Bump Platform!

Postnatal Yoga

The one for Mamas & babies

Mum & Baby.ies yoga classes are a great and safe space to come back to after birth (6 weeks in case of a vaginal birth - 8 to 12 weeks for belly birth). It allows mamas to reconnect with their body, moving gently and gradually rebuilding strength and stability. It is also a wonderful opportunity to connect with other mums and little ones, finding a sense of community and support.
