What is Foundation Yoga?
In the world of Yoga, there are many traditions and paths to choose from. Foundation Yoga is the first part of yoga that any yogi should begin with. It focuses on basic positions, body alignment, breathwork and mindfulness. These are the fundamental practices you learn that ensure that, later on, more challenging yoga is done safely. Yoga is a powerful form of exercise as it helps to train the body and mind by helping you focus on the dynamics of both together.

LOW IMPACT
A gentle, low-impact class designed to improve mobility, balance, and strength in a safe and supportive environment. Perfect for older adults looking to stay active, reduce stiffness, and boost overall wellbeing.
PILATES
Exercises are performed standing, seated and lying down with emphasis on alignment and posterior lateral breathing whilst executing the moves. These will initially be performed with the instructor on a timed sequence to create the flow and then at your own pace under guidance.
Spin Class
These classes are fast-paced sessions where groups ride stationary bikes to the beat. They are led by an instructor who directs different speeds and altitudes to simulate tough climbs and adrenaline-fuelled sprints through terrain and route challenges.
