restorative yoga
A calming evening practice designed to help you slow down, release the day, and restore balance. With the support of props such as bolsters, blocks, and blankets, each posture is held with ease, allowing the body to soften and the mind to settle.
The unhurried pace creates space for presence, breath, and gentle awareness, inviting you to reconnect with often-overlooked parts of yourself.
This blend of gentle movement and restorative stillness nurtures a sense of wholeness and belonging within the wider rhythms of nature and life, leaving you replenished, grounded, and renewed.

body sculpt
This Full Body Sculpt class is a music-led workout designed to strengthen and tone the entire body through high-intensity, low-impact movement. Using controlled, rhythm-based exercises, the class targets all major muscle groups, including the legs, glutes, core, back, arms, and shoulders - for a balanced, full-body workout.
With a strong focus on posture, alignment, and technique, each movement is performed with precision to build functional strength, improve stability, and support greater body awareness. Although the class is low-impact and therefore gentle on the joints, the continuous flow of exercises keeps the session energising and challenging. Low-impact sculpt training uses small, controlled movements and repetition to strengthen and tone muscles while protecting the body from unnecessary strain.
The class is suitable for all levels, with options to modify or progress the intensity so participants can move at their own pace while still enjoying an effective full-body workout. Expect to leave feeling stronger, more balanced, and uplifted.

Fall back in love with your body with a class that blends gentle Hatha Flow and longer-held Yin poses. The flowing sequences of Hatha help ease the body into movement, while Yin works more deeply with passive postures that target the joints, fascia, ligaments, and energy pathways.
