.. the key to a yoga 'practice' is consistency & persistence

We welcome all of you, we thrive to create a space where you have your own experience of the practice of Yoga. We encourage you to listen to your own body, your inquiry, curiosity & connection so you can trust & learn from yourself, your 'inner teacher'. That is where the magic is.
We commit to share with you what we practice ourselves, abhyasa… steady, devoted practice, to show up as we are - imperfectly perfect. We have always believed in the immense power of connection & community which continues to support & amplify each other...

In practicing aparigraha.. our principles remain the same, we are an independent 'Yoga Space' rather than a business model studio, we just love teaching yoga, we hope over time more 'independent' teachers will want to use the space.

We work on the fundamental forms of asana & pranayama (postures & breath) & meditation for those looking for a more traditional functional anatomical practice.
Incorporating intelligent dynamic vinyasa sequences & static poses, as well as breathing, mobilising techniques & relaxation, we prioritise the use of props & our training allows us to adapt/teach anyone in the room, if its warm we stay on the floor, if its cold we move more, if we can see most of you are tired or need to move we will adapt to that, this is what makes our classes different.
We encouraging strength building, efficiency in breathing, core stability, flexibility, balance & stamina​​
All equipment provided, though you are very welcome to bring your own
