Dharma – Eddie

Eddie

Devote • Awaken • Remember Dharma Yoga is a complete traditional yoga practice rooted in the teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra. Each class weaves together postures, breathwork, mantra, meditation and yogic philosophy, reflecting the breadth of the classical tradition. The physical practice is only one thread. Over time, students discover that yoga becomes less about what the body can do and more about how we meet ourselves. Whether you're seeking strength, stillness, meaning or simply a place to begin, Dharma Yoga offers a complete path of practice. You'll leave feeling clearer, steadier and more deeply connected. Suitable for: All levels, with variations offered throughout.

Flow – Ayesha

Ayesha

Move • Strengthen • Energise Flow is a dynamic, continuous practice that links movement with breath. Expect to build warmth, strength and mobility as you move through creative sequences designed to leave you feeling both grounded and uplifted. These classes are ideal if you enjoy movement and want a practice that challenges both body and mind. While options are always offered, Flow isn't usually the best place to begin if you're completely new to yoga. You'll leave feeling stronger, clearer and more connected to yourself. Suitable for: Students with some yoga experience or a regular movement practice.

Flow to restore with sound – Ayesha

Ayesha

Move • Rest • Receive Beginning with gentle, flowing movement before gradually slowing into restorative yoga and immersive sound, this class offers the perfect balance of effort and ease. Gong, chimes and voice invite the body and mind to soften, creating space to unwind, rebalance and deeply rest. Suitable for all levels. You'll leave feeling balanced, restored and deeply at ease.

Mama Circle in the Park

Join us for a gentle weekly Mama Circle throughout August—a space to slow down, connect and remember that you don't have to navigate motherhood alone. These circles offer a little more structure than our usual Mama Connect mornings, with time to share, listen and hold space for one another through the joys and challenges of this season of life. If the weather is kind, we'll gather beneath the trees in People's Park, opposite the café, where you can grab a drink before we begin. There are toilets nearby, and older children are very welcome to come along—simply bring some toys or an activity to keep them occupied. We'll also make the most of being outdoors with a couple of simple breathing and meditation practices each week. Nothing complicated—just gentle practices to help us return to ourselves so we can show up with a little more presence in our roles as mamas, partners, friends and, importantly, for ourselves. I'll most likely have Maya with me too. Partly because that's the reality of this season of life, but also because I believe practice doesn't have to wait until life is quiet. Together we'll explore what it means to weave moments of presence into the beautiful unpredictability of motherhood. We know that life with little ones rarely runs to plan, so please don't worry if you're running late. Come when you can. We'll aim to begin around 10.30am and finish the circle at 11.30am, with time afterwards for anyone who would like to stay and connect more informally. There is no pressure to share, no expectation to have it all together, and no need to be anything other than exactly as you are. Exchange: £5 If money feels tight at the moment, please don't let that stop you from joining us. Simply choose a free ticket when booking. Creating accessible community is important to us, and everyone is welcome. I look forward to sharing these mornings with you.

Pregnancy yoga – Alice

Alice

Breathe • Connect • Prepare Pregnancy is a time of extraordinary change. As your body grows and your baby develops, so too does your sense of who you are. Between appointments, preparations and endless to-do lists, it can be easy to forget to pause and simply be with yourself. Pregnancy Yoga offers a dedicated hour each week to reconnect with your changing body, your growing baby and the quiet unfolding of motherhood. Through gentle movement, breathwork and relaxation, you'll learn practices to help ease common pregnancy discomforts, prepare both body and mind for birth, and develop breathing techniques that may support you during labour. Just as importantly, you'll become part of a warm and welcoming community of local mothers, sharing this remarkable journey together. No previous yoga experience is needed. We simply ask that you have attended your 12-week scan and have the all-clear from your healthcare provider to attend. The studio doors open 15 minutes before class, so if you can, come a little early. Many of our mums enjoy those first few quiet moments to settle in, chat and connect before class begins. You'll leave feeling calmer, more connected and better prepared for birth and motherhood.

Stretch – Eddie

Eddie

Soften • Release • Nourish Stretch is inspired by Yin Yoga, where postures are held for several minutes with the support of the breath. Rather than stretching harder, you'll learn to soften. The long, supported holds encourage the connective tissues to release while gently inviting the nervous system to slow down. This is a quiet, deeply nourishing practice for anyone carrying physical tension or mental busyness. You'll leave feeling more spacious, softer and at ease. Suitable for: All levels.
