Yoga Classes

At The Inner Place we believe that everybody can practice and benefit from Yoga, regardless of age, shape or physical condition. Our Yoga teachers are all highly qualified and have many years experience of teaching both Hatha and Iyengar Yoga.

Yoga Classes @ The Inner Place

The Yoga classes at The Inner place Yoga Studio are suitable for all ages and abilities.

We offer regular Yoga classes during the daytime, the evening and at weekends. We also teach one to one Yoga and often run more specialised classes and workshops, such as Restorative Yoga and Yoga for  health and weight loss.

In Yoga, we work to develop awareness of our limitations and anyone can practice Yoga regardless of flexibility, age or size; no-one is too stiff, old or big. If you have a bad back, dodgy knees, or anything else, there is a Yoga class for you at The Inner Place.

The benefits of Yoga are numerous. On a physical level Yoga will improve strength, flexibility and balance, making you fitter, healthier and less prone to accidents and falls. On a mental level Yoga will bring you a sense of peace and well being, reducing stress, insomnia, depression and anxiety.

What to Wear

There is no set uniform for practising Yoga. Wear clothing you feel comfortable in that allows you to easily bend and twist. Yoga is practised in bare feet, for traction and stability but you may want to wear some comfy socks while you warm up. Basically anything goes. The Yoga studio has facilities for changing so if you’re coming straight from work, no worries.

What to Bring

Just yourself. The Inner Place is fully equipped with everything you need to practice Yoga – mats, prop and blankets so you don’t need to bring anything. Just a smile.

What will I do?

Yoga classes at The Inner Place last a full hour and a half and typically start by warming up with some gentle stretches.

 

This is followed by series of physical postures (asana) that are coordinated with full breathing and a mental focus on the present moment.

Finally the class ends with a deep relaxation (known in Yogic terminology as Pratyhara) under a cosy blanket and, for many of our clients, a quick zizz.

Remember Yoga is a lifelong practice of progressive change and there’s no need to do it all on the first try. There are many modifications available for the physical poses to make them more or less challenging depending on your needs. It is not a competition with others or yourself.

What does it cost?

Class fees are £45.00 for a block of five classes. We offer a ‘catch up’ scheme whereby, if you miss a class, you can attend any other class, within one month. We do have a number of drop in places and these are reserved for people who cannot guarantee to attend a regular class, due to working shifts or irregular hours.
