Here is The Look Ahead for July's programme of yoga classes to support your health and wellbeing:
THURSDAY 3 JULY 2025 @ 19:15-20:15
CLASS THEME: YIN GENTLE FULL BODY STRETCH
This beginners’ Yin yoga class is a gentle full body stretch to gradually reintroduce movement to our bodies for those of us who may not have exercised for a while or exercised less frequently than we might have liked to.
We will explore a carefully designed mixture of Yin yoga poses which are all carried out either lying down on our front or back or in a seated position, keeping the movements and positions accessible to all.
This will be a first step in increasing your flexibility and range of motion by stretching and lengthening your connective tissues. This class will also improve your joint health by nourishing and hydrating your joints, reducing stiffness and promoting overall mobility.
SATURDAY 5 JULY 2025 @ 10:00-11:30
CLASS THEME: RESTORATIVE BLISS
A deeply relaxing Restorative yoga class with very little physical exertion required as we will be using props such as bolsters and blankets to cradle your body and allow you to hold poses with ease.
Restorative yoga encourages you to slow down, take time to settle, and release your physical and mental tensions. It can help to reduce stress and anxiety, improve your sleep, boost your mood and energy levels.
I strongly recommend this class for anyone who is maybe trying their very first yoga class, anyone who has limited mobility, anyone with a curvy body shape, anyone recovering from injury, anyone looking for a way to help manage chronic pain or anyone who feels a bit run down and needs to recharge!
THURSDAY 10 JULY 2025 @ 19:15-20:15
CLASS THEME: SWEET & GENTLE ‘NO PROPS’ HATHA
A gentle Hatha yoga class for beginners with a deliciously slow-paced class that will ease out any tension from your mind and body.
We will be keeping it simple and not using any props for this particular class which consists of a combination of seated and lying down postures or asanas.
Lose yourself in the dreamy pace of this class, leaving behind the stresses and strains of a busy day. We will finish the class with a long and peaceful Shavasana relaxation so that you leave feeling refreshed and ready to face the next day with energy and positivity.
SATURDAY 12 JULY 2025 @ 10:00-11:30
CLASS THEME: ENERGISING BACK BENDS
This beginners’ Hatha yoga class will focus on back bends, such as Sphinx Pose, that are considered energising because they open up your chest and heart space, stimulating your nervous system and increasing your lung capacity.
This class may help you if you suffer with lower back stiffness or back pain, or if you spend a long time sitting in front of a computer or driving.
You will leave this class with boosted energy levels and a profound sense of wellbeing.

SATURDAY 19 JULY 2025 @ 10:00-11:30
CLASS THEME: CALMING FORWARD BENDS
This beginners’ Hatha yoga class will focus on forward bends such as Child's Pose that induce calming because they mimic the foetal position, which naturally trigger a 'rest and digest' response in your body, deepen your breath, and stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and a sense of clam.
This class could help you to feel more in control again, if your life has been getting too busy and hectic lately!
THURSDAY 24 JULY 2025 @ 19:15-20:15
CLASS THEME: HATHA BASICS
This beginners’ Hatha yoga class is devoted to looking at some of the foundation poses that will form the building blocks of your yoga practice.
We will be learning how to get into and out of each pose safely and with control, and using any yoga props that best support you.
Following a gentle warm-up and breathing exercises, this class will include an in-depth look into several foundational poses.
I will provide you with different levels of difficulty for each pose so that they are achievable for everyone.
We will end our class with a blissful relaxation.
SATURDAY 26 JULY 2025 @ 10:00-11:30
CLASS THEME: YIN YOGA FOR STRESS RELIEF
This beginner's Yin yoga class provides you with stress relief by encouraging deep relaxation and releasing your physical and emotional tension through long-held, passive postures.
The slow, mindful movements, that are all practiced at ground-level either seated or lying down, and the extended holds in each pose activate your parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a state of calm and reducing the 'fight or flight' response often associated with stress.
If you are looking for a class to help you move more freely and to help you feel more peaceful - then this class was designed with you in mind!
THURSDAY 31 JULY 2025 @ 19:15-20:15
CLASS THEME: ENERGISING BACKBENDS
This beginner's Hatha yoga class will focus on back bends, such as Sphinx Pose, that are considered energising because they open up your chest and heart space, stimulating your nervous system and increasing your lung capacity.
This class may help you if you suffer with lower back stiffness or back pain, or if you spend a long time sitting in front of a computer or driving.
You will leave this class with boosted energy levels and a profound sense of wellbeing.
