Class Descriptions

Hatha

A gentle yet challenging class where you will move through a series of postures designed to improve your strength, flexibility and balance. These postures are moved through rather slowly with longer holds than Vinyasa. With breath control, students begin to withdraw their senses from the external and focus on what is happening in the present moment within their bodies.

Vinyasa

Vinyasa is a creative form of yogic dance where the breath is linked to postures in a flowing sequence. These classes vary in form, exploring the full range of yoga asanas. Moving quickly will increase your heart rate and bring you straight into the present moment.

Yin

Yin is slow and soft and meditative, targeting the deepest tissues (fascia) of our bodies. These classes are filled with long holds of up to 10 minutes, ensuring you are comfortable and relaxed as you let go into the posture. Yin increases mobility, slows down your breathing and initiates a stunning meditative, internal state.

Meditation

Our basic meditation and mindfulness classes involve being seated upright and comfortably as you withdraw the senses and breathe deeply into the moment. You will be led into a state of relaxation and enjoy the immense benefits of integrating a meditation practice into your life.

FAQs

Come for the exercise, stay for the spirituality.
Yoga is one of the oldest spiritual lifestyles and physical exercises in human history. Dating back at least 5,000 years, yoga is a system of mindfulness and postures that work to calm the mind and bring an individual’s awareness into the present.
With regular practice, you will find yourself becoming stronger, more flexible and balanced. Yoga and pranayama (breathing techniques) help to calm the mind, reduce stress and improve focus while boosting overall health and wellbeing.
There is a reason so many of us find our way back to our mat time and time again.
Arrive early! Come to class with at least ten minutes to spare so you can find a park, put your phone and shoes away, and come to your mat with intention.
Once you walk into The Hall, there’s no more talking allowed unless you need to ask your teacher a question - simply set up your mat, sit down and focus on relaxing into the space.
Eat a small meal at least an hour before class, bring a water bottle and wear comfortable clothes (something you can move in that won’t distract you). Bring your own mat if you can, but we do have ones you can borrow here.
No and no! Just in the same way you don’t have to be strong to do yoga because yoga makes you strong, you don’t have to be flexible to do yoga - yoga makes you flexible.
If you’re a complete beginner, we recommend starting with our 3-week beginner’s course to develop your foundation and ensure your practice begins safely and comfortably. These courses have a deep focus on the 8-limbs of yoga and yoga philosophy - not just asana (physical postures). Contact us for the next round of dates.

If the days/times of the beginner’s course don’t work for you, don’t worry! You can still come to classes - just make your teacher aware that it’s your very first time!
Yoga is for every body. It can be adjusted to suit your individual needs and stage of life. If you have a body, you can do yoga.
Now, if you are pregnant or if you have an injury, it’s best to check with your healthcare provider before coming to class - but if you’re given the all clear, let your teacher know so they can make adjustments for you.
Every session is doing you good. We recommend three sessions a week to truly feel the results of your practice, but if you can only make one then that’s amazing too. Consistent and disciplined home practice will complement what you learn in the studio.
