Vinyasa
Come together to be moved in your Commune Vinyasa flow. A dynamic and flowing style of yoga that flows with the harmonious connection between breath and movement.
Your Commune Vinyasa flow begins on the floor, with a juicy set of light body stretches to invite you to drop-in to your body, the present moment and pause time as you come to be right here and now for your practice.
Moving into standing postures and combining with Pranayama (breath).
You will harmonise the body + mind through invigorating and opening Sun Salutations sequences, balancing postures and finishing again on the mat to explore counter poses to nourish the meridians of the body.
Modifications will be offered throughout the class to attune to your body and where ever your edge is on any given day.
Slow to Yin
A movement and stretch based class.
The pace will vary throughout class and move from a slower Yang focused Mellow Vinyasa practice into a gentle Yin sequence.
The perfect way to build strength and move whilst having plenty of time to gently release and go slow.
Slow + Yin yoga will address both the muscular and connective tissue aspects of the body, as well as the more subtle energetic systems of the body promoting flexibility, strength, and a sense of inner calm.
Throughout the class expect mindfulness and breath awareness.
We will close off the practice with a long Savasana meditation.
Yin
A Yin Yoga Class offers a profoundly tranquil and meditative practice that targets the deep connective tissues in the body, such as ligaments, tendons, and fascia.
In this class, expect engage in a series of seated or reclined postures, often held for an extended duration, typically ranging from 2 to 5 minutes or more.
Yin yoga is characterised by its emphasis on passive stretching and stillness, as well as a gentle approach to flexibility and mobility.
It promotes deep relaxation and encourages the release of physical and mental tension. The longer holds in each pose allow for a more profound opening in the body, and the practice is complemented by a focus on mindful breathing and meditation.
Suitable for all levels and provides a wonderful counterbalance to more dynamic and vigorous yoga practices.
Particularly beneficial for enhancing flexibility, relieving stress, and improving joint mobility.
Expect to leave a our Yin Yoga Class with a sense of inner peace, increased energy flow, and a greater overall sense of physical and
emotional well-being.
