Gentle and yin yoga is a class designed for those who want to take their yoga at a slower pace whilst still maintaining strength, mobility and flexibility. Perfect for the more mature student, those with additional health concerns or for those who just want take their yoga a little bit slower. We inevitably tighten with age so practising yin yoga helps us to create space in the body by working with the deep connective tissue called fascia. We hold the poses for a few minutes as we practise meditation. We use pillows, bolsters, cushions, blankets, and blocks to prop yourself into the pose without having to exert any effort.

I have been practising yoga for thirty years and teaching for over ten years and it's the best job in the world to me despite it NEVER feeling like work. I am registered with Yoga alliance professionals as a Senior Yoga teacher which is their highest level of accreditation. Having moved to from London to Southampton during lockdown it's so exciting to have shifted from teaching in busy studios and packed church halls to providing smaller friendly classes in a boutique space I've built in my back garden. After the isolation and weirdness of lockdown it's so beautiful to create a nurturing environment where we can all reconnect to ourselves and each other again.
