About the Class

Come comfy! Soft, stretchy clothes are perfect – think leggings, joggers or anything you can easily move in. Layering is a great idea too, especially on your top half, so you can stay cosy during the slower parts of class and cool down when needed. Don’t forget a pair of warm socks and a blanket for the relaxation at the end – you’ll thank yourself later!

Here’s a handy checklist for class:

• A yoga mat (but if you need to borrow one initially, just let me know!)
• Blocks or bricks (if you have them but don’t worry if not, I’ve got spares!)
• A blanket and maybe a small pillow for the final relaxation
• A water bottle

I recommend that you practice in bare feet or yoga socks but cosy socks are welcome for the relaxation.

When you arrive, you’ll set up your mat and essentials, then pop your shoes and bags to the side of the room. We usually begin by slowing things down with the breath, either seated or standing, depending on the mood and the season.

You’ll then be gently guided through a warm-up (often with some Qigong, the gentle movement practice behind Tai Chi), before flowing into a seasonal sequence of yoga postures. These flows are designed to suit all levels, and I’ll offer options and guidance along the way – so whether you’re brand new or have a regular practice, you’ll feel comfortable and be able to enjoy the class.

There’s no pressure to do anything or everything – just bring an open mind and a willingness to move at your own pace.

I sometimes weave in seasonal breathing techniques (pranayama) or simple meditation practices, depending on the time of year and how the class is flowing. These help quiet the mind, boost energy, or draw it gently inward – ideal if you’ve had a busy day!

Every class finishes with a deeply restful practice called Yoga Nidra. You’ll lie down, snuggle under your blanket, and be guided into a state of deep relaxation. It’s like a nap for your nervous system, helping you unwind, restore, and reset.

This is one of my favourite parts of the class, and something I’ve trained specially in. Each Nidra is inspired by the season and the class theme, woven with nature-based imagery, gentle cues, and calming breath to help you fully let go.
