Midline
Have you ever wondered where your midline might be? If you squeeze legs together and arms inwards can you recognize a natural bind into your central axis? This is a rocket fueled 45 mins vinyasa class, based on this concept of zipping in. Here we use foot flexion as a route into the midline, waking up the glutes and awakening the hamstrings. Prepare to play around with some new poses to awaken the side body in this juice yet challenging vinyasa.

Senses
A shorter practise to a tune into your senses, here we ignite our internal awareness; our ability to focus the mind into touch, smell, sound and taste. In a way we divide the senses in order to feel how one correlates to the next - and finally looking toward the source of it all: where the essence of sense arises within the self? This strong pocket rocket flow, works into a multitude of heart openers, long pauses and dynamic twists. A short but sweet vinyasa flow.

Less is More
Connect with your innate sense of ease with this steady vinyasa practice. Can we notice a sense of wanting more and more on our mats? How day to day consumerism is perhaps seeping into our practise? Here we drive our senses against the grain. Moving slower, with a long warm-up to open the shoulders, wrists, elbows, hips, feet and ankles. Then find space in a bound reverse warrior, shivas twists and some fun transitions into ardha chandrasana (half moon pose).

Clearing Space
Let’s go back to the root of yoga, what does yoga mean; ‘chitta vritti nirodha’ - which is translated as ‘The calming of mental fluctuations’. We can’t help but have busy, distracted minds but here in this 45 min flow we’ll use this time to remove a few waves from the mental lake of our mind.
Space to move, space to think, clear the dust, to see ourselves more clearly, more truly as the kind, free thinking beings that we are! This is a strong and powerful short flow. Prepare to jump, rotate and have fun in this playful and dynamic vinyasa.

Pause, Flow, Repeat
The body is always in a state of flux, arising , maintaining and then dissolving back into balance. Here we focus our intentions on the pause at the very top of our inhales. The majority of practise faces the front of the mat in this creative yet exuberant vinyasa flow, full of inversions and strong traditional standing postures. A perfect practise if you’re short of time but want to create a little fire.

Todays Centre
Enjoy this full body awakening - which is sure to make 45 mins feel like 90 in this warm and dynamic power flow. Here we move from our centre, anchor the breath into a calm rhythmic pattern to dance between pose to pose. Learn to couple asana (poses) with the joyous breath to create a stable but graceful practise. Here we ask where is the centre? This can change from day to day - practise to practise, so where do you feel it in right now? Let’s explore together!
NB please do add extra time for a longer savasana at the end!
