THURSDAYS
Jivamukti Yoga – Studio 1, 9:30-10:30am
Keri Perkins is a Jivamukti yoga teacher and reiki 2 qualified.
Keri’s passion for asana (postures) and meditation combined with music particularly drew her to the Jivamukti practice.
She strongly believes as we are all essentially sound vibration that by listening to music and vibrations during the yoga practice, whether electronic, classical or a resounding OM, help destress and better connect us to ourselves, our surroundings and ultimately each other. However, what’s most important to Keri is that her classes are fun and inclusive.
Jivamukti classes incorporate vinyasa flow and breath awareness and focus on the five principles of non violence/respect for others (ahimsa), sound/music (nada), spiritual study(shastra), devotion (bhakti) and meditation (dhyana), which are all cleverly woven through the sequences.
The structure of a Jivamukti class is invigorating but beautifully balanced working you through warm up, intention, sun salutations and a variety of other poses finishing with shirvasana (final relaxation). This class is dynamic, suitable for intermediate and advanced levels as well as beginners with a sense of adventure.
Although rooted in ancient Indian yoga philosophy Jivamukti has been adapted perfectly to modern life and is practiced globally.
The cost of this class is £15 drop in or 6 classes for £78 (please note that the 6 classes must be taken within a two month period from purchase date).

Mother & Baby Yoga – Studio 1
11:00-12:00pm
Mother and Baby is a great way to practise yoga with your baby, in a friendly and supportive environment. The focus is to encourage post natal recovery, by stabilising the pelvis, strengthening core muscles and releasing tension from the body. This helps to raise energy levels and increase a sense of ease within the body. All of this is done whilst engaging your baby with songs and movements, providing an excellent opportunity to bond and spend time with your baby and meet other parents and carers to share the experiences of caring for a new baby.
No experience is required and all are welcome. Babies start at approx 6 weeks + and continue until they start to crawl.
Katie Myers is an experienced Pregnancy, Post Natal & Children’s Yoga teacher. She has studied pre-natal yoga with Birthlight & Children’s Yoga with the Special Yoga Centre.
Classes cost £14 to drop in where spaces are available or 6 classes for £72 (please note that the 6 classes must be taken within a two month period from purchase date). Booking is advisable for this class.

Mindful Flow – Studio 2
1-2pm *class resumes Nov 4, 2021
Mindful Flow with Rupert Eyles. Each class becomes its own original story. We’ll drift into our bodies and follow a steady arc, often tying in a crescendo of twists and balances to deepen self-acquaintance, before moving to hold a pose or two for longer, and rest.
We’ll focus on cultivating greater self-compassion, softening to strengthen body and mind, and decluttering within to create space for the true self to bloom. You’ll be equipped with plenty of options along the way, tuning inward to consider what would serve you.
Rupert has been been deepening his practices of self-enquiry over the past 10 years with a variety of teachers and ashrams in the US and India, coupled with channelling self-reflection through writing. After years of practice, I completed my Hatha, Vinyasa, and Bhakti teacher training in Thailand.
Rupert is a Director of Wellbeing for a health and fitness app, and leans on his communications experience to support mental health charities.
The cost of this class is £15 drop in or 6 classes for £78 (please note that the 6 classes must be taken within a two month period from purchase date).
