Winter / Water Seasonal Yoga Flow Classes

Winter/ Water focused classes move towards stillness, calm and resotration. The Kidney and bladder meridians are on the front and back of the body so forward and backward flexion and a flowing style of practice with more stillness in the postures (yin yoga) and eyes closed to go inward. Practice in the winter time of year, or when you would like to bring some calm rest to your day. 

 Please find below a selection of Seasonal Vinyasa Flow Classes, as well as some specialised classes (wall, immunity, relaxing). In a Seasonal Flow, we aim to integrate Yoga asana with focusing on the meridian and organs of the season to help us feel more in balance. Choose a session which relates to the season of the year, your life, your day or which calls to you in this moment. Feel free to calm and ‘winter’ in Summer if that is what you need.
