Designed to get your foot through the yoga door, this class will gradually develop your strength and stretch through simple and slow yoga flows and transitions.

This is our easiest flow class. All levels welcome.

Yin is a wonderful complement to your strong ‘yang’ yoga practice. Learning how to slow down and really ‘be’ with our body is quite difficult. These classes are the perfect opportunity to do just that.

A meditative, slow-paced practice that uses long, deep stretching to enhance joint mobility and flexibility, lengthening the muscles and fascia tissue. You can experience deep releases as you work through areas of the body that habitually hold tension and stress.

Yin helps restore energy and calms the nervous system. All levels welcome, including beginners.

We begin with a meditative, slow-paced yin practice that uses long, deep stretching to enhance joint mobility and flexibility, lengthening the muscles and fascia tissue.

Then through deep guided relaxation (yoga nidra), the body will completely relax so we can feel our interconnected wholeness and become aware of our true, unified nature – expansive, inclusive, and deeply restful.

Phoenix’s signature flow class developed by Sanjay, the director and head teacher at Phoenix. Combining elements from Ashtanga, Power Flow and Hatha yoga, Phoenix Flow is a flowing sequence of postures that synchronizes breath with movement in order to build strength, balance, and flexibility.

Refine your alignment and nurture your body. Beginner friendly, all levels welcome.

Hot Flow is practised in a room heated between 30 and 35 degrees to warm up your muscles and joints, encourage blood flow and increase flexibility. We sequence this practice slower than Foundation Flow, with held postures and an emphasis on alignment.

The heat intensifies the practice, aiding detoxification and deep cleansing.

* You may need two towels to this class: one to cover your mat, and one for your body.

Not suitable for pregnant women.

Combining the benefits of Yin and Roller Therapy to bring the body back to balance.

The rolling movements provide deep myofascial release, restoring the proper length-tension relationship to muscles and promoting a healthy recovery process for tight bodies and sport related activities.

Primary Series Led Class

An entry level Ashtanga class, with less jump backs/throughs. We skip most of the more difficult poses. This class allows you to experience and develop the Ashtanga rhythm with your body and breath.

A traditional, powerful vinyasa practice from Mysore India, comprised of a set series of postures linked mindfully with the breath to create tapas (burning heat), to purify and unite the body and mind.

The physical Ashtanga practice, conceived of by the remarkable 20th century yogi Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, was handed down to the late Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois, who refined the sequence into what is commonly practiced today.

Some yoga experience is required.

Some experience is necessary, just take breaks when you need to.

Expect to feel your abs! This class focuses on all things core – abdominals, obliques, lower back, hips, buttocks and thighs.

Drawing on Power Flow sequencing we will concentrate on strength and stability in the mid section in order to develop an inner awareness of how to hold the body safely and correctly.

Every now and then we may burst into an 80s abdominal section, working the abs through a sit-up sequence. Leg warmers and fluro tights optional 🙂

If you usually practice Foundation Flow you can still attend this class, do as much as you can, and rest when needed.
