Yoga for Stress
1-2pm
This class will help release deep-seated tension, sometimes long held and so engrained in one’s physique, that it is often unnoticed until an issue/problem arises.
Using the breath and increasing awareness in movement and asanas (yoga postures) this tension can be let go of, so the body can open, the breath can restore and the mind can settle and clear. From here the work in strengthening, integrating and harmonising the mind, body and breath begins.
Audrey has been teaching yoga since 2002 and practicing since 1985 and is qualified in the tradition of Krishnamacharya, as well as holding a British Wheel of Yoga diploma. She is influenced and inspired by John Stirk, Vanda Scaravelli, and TKV Desikachar.

Jivamukti Yoga ~ 20th/27th Nov 4th Dec
7:15-8:30pm
Jivamukti Yoga® is a comprehensive Yoga method developed in New York in the late 1970’s.
The classes are known for their strong vinyasa flow asana practice, uplifting music, chanting, and a focus on the five tenets of non-violence (Ahimsa), devotion (Bhakti), sound (Nada), scriptural study (Shastra) and meditation (Dhyana) that are subtly woven throughout the sequences. Jivamukti Yoga is rooted in ancient Indian spiritual philosophy but adapted to suit modern life so it can be accessible to everyone globally.
Aishwarya is a keen practitioner of Jivamukti Yoga since 2014. Her yoga journey prompted her to reconsider her life choices and she decided to take a break from a 17+ yr career in investment banking, and to swap the City trading floor for a yoga mat (amongst other exciting things!).
She recently qualified as a 300-Hour Jivamukti teacher in Costa Rica. Aishwarya is grateful for her inspiring teachers and the teachings of the Jivamukti method.
The cost of this class is £14 drop in or 6 classes for £72 (please note that the 6 classes must be taken within a two month period from purchase date).
