Classes Offered
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a floor based practice focussing on a deep exploration into a small number of postures, held for a prolonged period. It is a slow and meditative practice, which targets deep connective tissues, joints and bones. Yin gives you time to tune into your mind and the physical sensations in your body, learning how to breathe, relax and sit with your thoughts. We finish the practice with a deep relaxation, allowing you to dedicate a little more time to yourself.
Pilates
Pilates is a slow mat based practice which improves posture, strength and overall fitness. The main focus is core strength to support everyday movement and improve the body's longevity. This is achieved by co-ordinating movements with conscious breathing, improving balance, stability and core strength. All classes conclude with guided relaxation.
Slow Flow Yoga
Slow Flow Yoga is a steady but strong, Vinyasa style practice, where we flow from one pose to the next. This practice builds strength & stability in the shoulders, flexibility in the hips & back and improves core strength & balance. This fluid, flowing sequence gives you the time and space needed to focus on what is best for your mind, body & practice. All classes finish with guided relaxation.
Gentle Yoga
Gentle Yoga is perfect for beginners, or those rehabilitating from an injury. This is a Hatha style practice, combining slow, deliberate movements with our breath to gain strength, flexibility and increase our range of movement. This class is great for people suffering with sciatica, lower back and shoulder pain. The practice concludes with guided relaxation.
Studio Schedule
Kids Yoga Cornwall
Little Yogis 4+
Our Little Yogis learn about yoga and breathing techniques through the media of stories, songs and games. These classes are a great introduction to yoga, keeping it fun and exciting. We often incorporate crafts to accompany a story, which develop fine motor skills, concentration and creativity. Our yoga games help the Little Yogis to build confidence, learn to co-operate with one another, and develop friendships. Each class finishes with a mindful guided relaxation.
Junior Yogis 8+
The Junior Yogis are the next step, progressing away from story based Yoga. In this class the yogis develop their strength, stamina and flexibility, whilst building confidence and resilience. This is achieved by attempting harder postures and holding them for a little longer. The Junior Yogis follow a theme giving them the opportunity to broaden their yoga knowledge. The yogis often create their own yoga sequences based on a theme, and sometimes they even teach them! Every class finishes with a guided relaxation, giving the yogis the opportunity to switch off and enjoy a few moments, free from distraction, where nothing is expected of them.
Teen Yogis 12+
The Teen Yogis are one step away from an adult class. They follow a similar curriculum to our Junior Yogis, but we go a bit deeper in terms of anatomy and physiology, how and body works and why. We aim to reduce stress and anxiety, whilst gaining strength, flexibility and stamina. We teach them how to regulate and manage mood, and how to overcome obstacles mentally. The classes are structured to build a routine, whilst providing time out from screens and technology. Every class concludes with a guided relaxation, which often promotes thoughtful questions and conversation.
Private Classes
Ask us about our private classes. We offer one-to-one tuition for those who require a more in depth class or for those wanting to meet specific targets. Our private sessions are great for those recovering from injury or those a little nervous of a group session.
We also offer staff well-being sessions for your colleagues and business.
