HOUSEKEEPING NOTES: If a class is not showing as available on the calendar it means it is full already. Please use the waiting list facility and you may be able to join if there is a cancellation, I check the schedule regularly. It is always best to book early to avoid disappointment and secure your spot.
All classes are in person but there is an option to come to any practice on Zoom. The online booking system is set up to allow 8 people only to each session. If you would like to come on Zoom, please let me know when you book as it means someone else could potentially take your place in the studio.
Polite request: My studio is an intimate space and the yoga practices are designed to enable the benefits of pratyahara (withdawal of the senses in preparation for meditation). Please don't come to the classes smelling strongly of cooking or without showering after a strong workout because it affects the other students. Thank you for your understanding.
One to one classes and individual yoga therapy are available at a time to suit you, please enquire for more information.
