Evening Yoga Classes in Medway Start October

Join us for a monthly evening practice to help you start your new month energized, balanced and centred.

This 90 minute class allows us to delve a little deeper as we set our positive intentions for the new month ahead. Release negative energy, build strength and cultivate calm and equilibrium for the month ahead.

What can I expect?
This is a 90 minute class combining Vinyasa and Yin Yoga styles. Don't worry if you don't know these terms, the class is suitable for everyone!

Expect a reasonably physical start with a Vinyasa flow style practice to generate energy, warm the muscles and release stress followed by a sequence of long hold, deep release and drop Yin postures (no little effort required for this part, just relax, breathe and drop!)

We will also have gentle music, some meditation, and offer a safe, welcoming and inclusive space.

Please bring your own mat. Feel free to bring bolsters, cushions and anything else to help you feel comfortable.

Booking is required and spaces are limited, investment is £15.

Why I persevere with Backbends in Yoga!

Heart Openers and Backbends

A year or so ago I made myself a promise to regularly do poses that I really dislike doing. Not every day, but often enough to progress in them so that over time they became easier and eventually I could hate them less. (that buldging vein in my neck stands testament!)

In this week’s classes we’ve been working on gentle back bends and chest openers, including a few poses I have learned to love a little more.

It’s important when practicing these postures that we feel safe and protected, so go gently and slowly over a period of time, to build trust slowly.

Heart openers work to create physical space inside the chest, around the heart, lungs and in our breath helping cultivate a little more love and compassion, both giving and receiving.
