How do you feel when you finish work?
These classes are suitable for:
- All Levels
- Quick classes addressing necks, back, shoulders, feet
- Perfect for after-work
All too often our days leave us feeling tired and depleted, or anxious and buzzy and instead of seizing the moment, we passively allow ourselves to drift into bad habits. Our yoga practice can serve as a punctuation mark, and by moving in the early evening we can create balance, prepare our bodies to relax and allow the best of us to come to the fore. Our evenings are just as important as our mornings, and we can optimise the time that we spend with our family and friends and doing what matters to us the most. What do you do to navigate the transition from day to evening and from working life to home life? How might it be if you used this time to roll out your yoga mat and transition from work to the evening by spending some time getting out of your head and back into your body? We have put together this collection of classes to help you to come back to yourself and ease yourself into the evening.

Metta: Care for Ourselves and Care for Others
42:09 | Mimi Kuo-Deemer
Featuring moon rather than sun salutes, this more nourishing practice is a beautifully nurturing slow flow and a nourishing sequence for the heart and soul. Great for when your body needs a little extra support, but you'd like to keep your movement practice. The human heart circulates the most oxygen rich supply of blood to itself first before it moves it out to the rest of the body. As humans we can also learn to care for our own bodies and experience, and use this care as a springboard to cultivate greater care for others and the world. “It is not arrogant or egotistical to feel good inside. You had nothing to do with it. It's simply the honest response to clearly perceived Reality.” – Erich Schiffmann
