Feel strong with yoga, this class will strengthen and invigorate the body and mind. Although often we'll turn to speedy vinyasa for strength, it's sometimes even stronger, and safer, to go slower! Work on strength in the core and throughout the body with side bending, twisting and strengthening movement to activate and open up the body. Leave the class feeling energised, uplifted and ready to tackle the day ahead.
