Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga is a holistic practice, which means it affects every part of us as a single, connected system (physical, mental, social, emotional). A regular yoga practice draws all these parts together in a balanced and positive way.

Hatha Yoga & Mindful Movement
Hatha – Rooted in the balance of opposing energies “ha” meaning Sun and “tha” meaning moon. Hatha yoga aims to harmonise the body and mind, creating a foundation of calm and focus. A real focus on breath control (pranayama) and physical postures (asana).
Mindful Movement- The practice of moving with awareness and intention, aiming to connect and honour our body’s energy and needs. It encourages us to move in a way that feels good and natural for where we are today, fostering a connection to our intuition over force or striving. Guided by self-love and compassion, mindful movement allows us to listen to our bodies, creating a nurturing space for growth and self-discovery.

Viniyoga
The term ‘Viniyoga’ is a Sanskrit word (from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras), which means ‘the appropriate application of’ yoga. In yoga classes this means working through a planned sequence of postures, some of which will be dynamic and others static. The effects of postures on the mind and body are enhanced by a sensitive and prescriptive way of breathing. In order to make practices appropriate, postures can be adapted to meet individual needs so that people can work safely within their limits, and observe any changes over time.
