Elmsgrove Yoga

Holistic yoga classes - mixed ability, suitable for beginners. The yoga taught is a traditional style of yoga with a focus on the individual, so groups are small. The classes include asana (postures), pranayama (breathing practice), kriyas (cleansing exercises using the breath), meditation, mantra (sounds) and yoga nidra (deep relaxation). The classes are taught with a spiritual basis (though not religious), and are influenced by therapeutic yoga, so are suitable for almost all, including those with health problems.

Therapeutic yoga - classes for back-pain, pre and post-natal classes, and gentle classes for those with other limiting health conditions. Individual therapy sessions (yoga therapy and other complementary therapies) are available. See www.elmsgrove.com for further details.
