This helps the body and mind to be well prepared for pregnancy and birth. Yogic breathing connects you in advance with your birthing muscles, giving you confidence, especially if you are a first-time mother. Your pregnancy posture will improve, and this can allow a rapid recovery of muscle tone after the birth. Yoga increases the levels of energy, giving a sense of wellbeing. The deep relaxation techniques taught can also help if you are having difficulty with sleep.
What the classes cover:
Yoga for mid pregnancy (14-32 weeks) and late pregnancy (32-40 weeks)
Pelvic floor exercises
Yogic breathing, birth breathing
Strengthening birthing muscles
All over strengthening
Loosening the hips

Private Yoga Tuition
Whilst there are many benefits to be gained from attending group yoga classes, an ideal way for many people to learn yoga and develop their personal practice is through one to one sessions. Before you start the one to one sessions, your needs will be discussed and assessed. From this an individual practice of postures and breathing will be developed and taught; one that is appropriate for you. Things to consider might include general health, flexibility, and life circumstances.
Benefits of one to one yoga classes:
· Personal attention and tuition ideal for beginners to build confidence
· Convenience of lesson times made by appointment
· Development of a personal practice for your individual needs
· Specific therapeutic benefits for injury, illness and stress
· Class held in our fully equipped studio so all you need to do is turn up!
If you would like to share your session with a partner or one or two friends, it’s a great way to learn and the price is the same at £50.00 for one hour. Therefore, the cost can be very reasonable.

Seniors Yoga – Tuesday & Friday Mornings

Throughout the class we link movement to the breath and always end the class with some dedicated relaxation time giving the mind and body essential time to rest after the yoga practice.

In yoga, it is believed that our real age is determined by flexibility and health of our spine. As we get older, our range of motion and flexibility of spinal column diminishes and our posture deteriorates, leading to reduced musculo-skeletal body functioning. Yoga is the perfect activity to take up if you are older or if you suffer from aches and pains, because its low impact and precise motion combined with weightbearing postures have strengthening benefits for the whole body. Regular practice of yoga can help reduce age linked ailments and will make you more agile, stronger, and importantly bring a real sense of relaxation.

Thai Yoga
with Helen Wild
Thai yoga is a flowing sequence of yoga poses, a harmony of breath and meditative movement. It is a Yin style of yoga, which means that rather than using muscular effort, instead we relax into poses, focus on our breathing and allow gravity to take us deeper into stretches, which are performed mainly on the floor. Thai yoga helps to improve flexibility particularly in the hip and pelvic area, spine and Achilles tendons. By working into the connective tissues and stimulating energy flow within the body, it also improves the health of internal organs and general wellbeing.
Thai yoga can benefit those who suffer inflexibility, lower back problems, knee and ankle pain, stiff necks, poor circulation, headaches, anxiety and stress, or who have an over-toned body.

Pilates - Wednesday Eveningswith Helen Wild
I was trained in classical ballet and have since enjoyed many other forms of dance. After following an academic pathway through university and professional exams, I turned to yoga 20 years ago to regain flexibility, strength and general wellbeing. More recently I discovered Pilates to be a natural development of my dance and yoga practise. I trained to teach Pilates with Michael King and I hope to share its benefits with people from all 'walks of life', of all ages and abilities.
Pilates is a mind-body exercise regime, designed to strengthen deep core muscles (your body's natural corset), improving posture and spinal stability and thus helping to prevent injury. The exercises also improve flexibility and concentration. As you become more aware of your own body and learn its correct alignment, the musculo-skeletal system can work most efficiently. These mixed ability matwork Pilates classes are designed to gradually progress your practise.
Class numbers are kept small (max.12) to give personal attention, offering correction and guidance where necessary and adapting exercises for individual requirements.
