Feisty Vinyasa: Exploring butterfly

We recommend that you're already warmed up and ready to go, and the class flows swiftly into challenging poses and sequences.

Expect variations on inversions and backbends and prepare to explore the transitioning butterfly.

Soothing The Warrior
A creatively sequenced flow to sooth and nourish. The warrior isn't always about being driven but sometimes being patient and listening. This slow vinyasa yoga class is as soothing as it is strengthening. It's great whenever you need to be centred, or relaxed, or if you're on your moon cycle. With peak poses as dancer to warrior 3 balancing sequences, this isn't the most traditionally relaxing class, but it does find a way to feel watery with soothing qualities whilst working strongly.
