Classes on the timetable listed as ‘Yoga’ or ‘Gentle yoga’, are a great way to get moving in a more gentle way, they include breathing work, strength and mobility work.

​

If you’re looking for something a bit stronger than that would be a ‘Vinyasa’ or ‘Forrest Inspired’ class which are more flowing, have more intensity. There are more standing poses, stronger poses, maybe longer holds and they’re a little bit more cardiovascular.

​

The other option would be to go a step further with an ‘Ashtanga’ class, which is very cardiovascular. You’re definitely going to get sweaty!

Want or need something really restorative? Choose ‘Yin’ or ‘Restorative’ with long, slow stretches, giving your mind and body a complete release.
