Gentle Yoga

This is a slow-paced, mindful class designed to help you move with ease, calm your mind, and reconnect with your body. Suitable for all levels—including complete beginners—Gentle Yoga offers a safe and supportive space where you can unwind, stretch, and release tension.

Each class includes carefully guided movement, breath awareness, and time for deep rest, supporting your mobility, flexibility, and mental clarity. Props are used to ensure comfort in every posture so that you can move at your own pace without strain or pressure.

Whether you’re seeking relief from stress, managing stiffness, or simply looking for a kind and nurturing way to care for yourself, this practice invites you to slow down and tune in.

The class is led by Lou Rix.

Men's Yoga

This class is designed specifically for men, creating a space to move, stretch, and strengthen without pressure or expectation. Many men come to yoga to improve flexibility, ease tight hips, back, and shoulders, and to manage stress—and that’s exactly what this class is here to support.

We focus on functional movement, improving mobility, and building strength in a way that complements everyday life. Each session is approachable and tailored to meet you where you are, whether you’re completely new to yoga or looking to balance out other activities like sports, cycling, or gym work.

Expect clear guidance, no jargon, and a relaxed, welcoming environment. If you’ve ever thought yoga isn’t for you—this is the perfect place to discover how much it actually is.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a quiet, meditative practice that works deeply into the body’s connective tissues—ligaments, joints, and fascia—helping to improve flexibility and release tension.

Postures are floor-based and held gently for longer periods, allowing you time to soften, breathe, and simply be present. This practice encourages stillness and calm, supporting both physical and emotional wellbeing.

Perfect for those who feel stiff, tired, or stressed, Yin Yoga offers a chance to slow down, nurture your body, and reset your mind. No experience is needed—just a willingness to pause and give yourself this time.

Suitable for all fitness levels, Qi Gong is especially supportive if you’re feeling stiff, tired, stressed, or out of balance. The movements are simple, repetitive, and designed to be accessible no matter your experience.

This is a beautiful practice to restore harmony in both body and mind, inviting more ease and vitality into everyday life.
