Take Time Out Of Your Busy Day To Breathe Move And Rest

Classes Monday And Thursday 1:00pm-2:00pm

*NO CLASSES ON BANK HOLIDAY MONDAYS

Yoga is intended to be a refuge, not another fast-paced high demand activity on the never-ending to-do list in which we so often feel trapped. This Class is Called Yoga For Lunch: Breathe, Move, Rest because these are the three essential ingredients for a nourishing yoga lunch break, a time out of the pressed sandwich of doing and an opportunity for a slice of being.

  • Breathe: Coming to the yoga mat in the middle of a busy day, it’s important that we begin by catching our breath. We lie down in a position of comfort and ease that allows the chest and the belly to gently open to the breath. We take 10 mins to gradually drop out of the swirling mind and into the presence of aliveness in the body and to arrive and settle into a functional breath pattern.

  • Move: Once we have arrived home to the breath in the body, we begin to re-activate. We’ll move for about 30 minutes, exploring some dynamic postures to release tension in the hips and shoulders, inviting a full circulation of prana (life force) from head to toe. Our mission is to address the physical and psychological stresses of modern living, especially the modern workplace, by realigning structurally, recalibrating energetically, and restoring our mental and emotional balance.

  • Rest: We’ll end with a restorative yoga pose* and a short guided meditation before allowing some time for quiet integration. *This means using props like blankets and bolsters to establish the body in a position of total and complete comfort for deep relaxation for a minimum of 15 minutes.

Can I Drop In Whenever Suits me? Can I come on Both Days? Do I pick my preferred day and stick to that?

the answer is Yes! Yes! And Yes! The idea with having two classes per week and a variety of payment options is that we can offer more flexibility for those whose availability is less predicable and great value for money for those who would like to commit themselves to regular classes, sometimes twice per week. You can drop in and pay as you go, you can buy a flexible 4 class pass which has a 7 week expiration

Who Is This Class For?

This is an all levels class and so anyone can join. The aim is to explore functional movements that are relatively accessible for all in order to circulate energy and cultivate a strong but supple body.
