Yoga Class descriptions:  

Active Beginners -60 mins, Thursdays 7-8 am

New class starting 24 September 2026

New to Yoga, and looking for a more dynamic approach to your practice? Start your day with an active class exploring the foundations of Iyengar Yoga through a variety of poses and sequences. Develop strength, flexibility, alignment and body awareness while building confidence in your practice. Classes follow a rotating programme of themes, with a restorative practice every fourth week.

Gentle Beginners -75 mins, Mondays 5.30-6.45 pm

A steady-paced class for beginners, those returning to yoga after a break, or anyone who prefers a slower and more supportive approach. Learn the foundations of Iyengar Yoga and how to use props to support alignment, mobility, strength and body awareness. Classes follow a rotating programme of themes, with a restorative practice every fourth week.

 

General Level — 90 minute, Tue and Fri 9.15-10.45, Wed 5.30-7 pm

Suitable for students with some previous yoga experience, including those who have practised other styles of yoga or have developed a foundation through our beginner classes.

Classes explore a broader range of Iyengar Yoga poses, with attention to alignment and individual needs. A variety of props and modifications are used to support and deepen your practice. As you progress, inversions such as Sarvangasana (shoulderstand) and Sirsasana (headstand) are gradually introduced, with appropriate alternatives provided when needed.

Classes follow a rotating programme of themes, with a restorative practice every fourth week and Pranayama introduced where appropriate.

Intermediate Level — 90 minutes, Mon 9.15-10.45 am

Best suited to regular Iyengar Yoga practitioners with an established practice and a good understanding of the foundations.

At this level, the range and depth of practice continue to expand, with more challenging poses and sequences introduced. Inversions, including Sarvangasana (shoulderstand) and Sirsasana (headstand), are developed as an integral part of the practice.

Classes follow a rotating programme of themes, with restorative and Pranayama practice every fourth week.

Restorative Practice — Every 4th Week

Extended and supported poses

A quieter practice using props to support the body and encourage stillness. Restorative poses provide an opportunity to release tension, settle the mind and experience the more restful aspects of Iyengar Yoga.

A restorative class is included every fourth week across all levels.

Pranayama — Every 4th Week

Breath awareness and control

Pranayama practices develop awareness of the breath and its connection with the mind. Selected Pranayama practices may be introduced towards the end of the restorative class, according to the level and experience of the students.
