Gentle and Chair based Yoga for Ladies over 60 - - Full - get in touch to join waiting list
1:00pm - 2:30pm
Zion Church, Annexe Building, Hallgate, Cottingham, HU16 4BB
Gentle and chair yoga, is extremely relaxing and helps enhance range of motion. In gentle yoga, the movement is slow, each movement is linked with breath, and we enter into the postures gradually—moving in and out of each pose smoothly and mindfully. This fluidity into postures protects and nurtures the joints, muscles, and connective tissue. With gentle yoga and the aid of a chair, you explore your pain-free range of motion and find your edge, so you can come safely and comfortably into the pose, depending on what’s right for your body on any given day. Gentle yoga with a chair can be particularly good for balancing digestive difficulties because its slow, rhythmic movement soothes and relaxes the nervous system. Done regularly, It works to access to tools that help us engage the parasympathetic nervous system so the body can rest and restore. A truly valuable practice for Mind Body and Soul.

Iyengar Inspired Yoga - - 2 places available
Suitable from beginner to Advanced - An Iyengar Inspired class
7pm - 8.30pm - *note new time slot
St Nicholas Church, Pickering Rd, Hull HU4 6SA
This form of Yoga concentrates with a strong emphasis and focus on structural alignment of the physical body through the practice of static asanas and Breath work know as Pranayama. It differs from many of the modern styles of yoga in three ways: precision, static poses, sequence, with heavy use of props.
It is excellent for building strength, stamina and flexibility and is all about quality rather than quantity. To me this style of yoga is the building blocks of all other forms.
This Iyengar inspired class will also bring back alignment in the sense of a truer meaning of an Asana practice as laid down in the roots of yoga. And that everyone is able to find steadiness (Sthira) and ease (Sukha) in their yoga, systematically working for the good of their body as a whole.
*note - the last class of the month all classes will be dedicated to a much needed Yin Yoga. Yin is mainly floor based postures encouraging the physical, mental and emotional body to unravel, release and let go!.
It really is quite the Yummy practice it sounds.
Remember to wear loose fitting clothes and bring your blankets and bolsters/cushions for this one.

Vinyasa Flow for Mixed Abilities - - 4 places remaining
7:30pm - 8:55pm
St Nicholas Church, Pickering Rd, Hull HU4 6SA
Vinyasa is a style of yoga where poses are strung together to form one fluid sequence of movement. The classes are often fast-paced and rhythmical, with a focus on connecting the movements with the rhythm of the breath. Vinyasa means to move with the breath. Often called yoga flow, Vinyasa Flow is a style of yoga with focus on transitions and movements, with less time spent in stationary poses. Although Vinyasa is often considered a fast and physically challenging practice, it can also be soft and gentle. Moving with the breath can also mean slowing down your transitions with deep inhales and slow exhalations. No two classes will be the same, and often the sequences are creative and playful.
