This is an early class to get your weekend off to a good start.
We will work on breath and movement and learn some sun salutations and vinyasa. We will work with an uplifting practice to bring energy into the system. this will be a nourishing practice that will leave you refreshed but relaxed. Will finish with a sort meditation and relaxation to help balance our nervous system.

I will encourage you to listen to your body and breath and work at your own pace. yoga does not have to be strong to be effective, going slow can help bring us to the present moment so we can really look after ourselves.

Beginners are welcome

Gentle accessible yoga class. this new class will focus on yoga for health and wellbeing.
This is a class for people who perhaps would like to do yoga but are put off by thinking it might be too challenging or they are too stiff or have a health condition such as Arthritis.

"Accessible"
Floor or chair. If you have problems getting on the floor you can use a chair instead. If you have health problems , such as Arthritis or you have had a replacement hip or knee this would be a suitable class for you to get back into exercise. If you have a back condition or your back needs to get stronger this class would be suitable .

" Gentle yoga"
This class will build up strength and flexibility gradually. Each week we will explore a new posture and learn a sequence. We will work on breath and movement. Slow mindful movement has a calming effect on the nervous system. This helps our mental health and can help with conditions such as anxiety and depression. 

" Breathing"
We will learn how to use the breath to help bring us more energy and also to relax. We will work with the breath in the yoga poses and also at the end of the class we will work on breathing exercises known as pranayama. These help calm the mind.

"Relaxation"
At the end of the session we will have a guided relaxation. This can be done lying down or in a chair.

"Fun and friendly"
This will be a class to enjoy and feel part of a group, meet like minded people and make new friends.

Friday Morning Gentle Accessible Yoga

Mary Squires 

Thank you Donna. I have never done Yoga before and am really enjoying the classes. You are very gentle on us and determined to make it all an enjoyable experience. I have been made to feel very welcome. Great ! 

Angela Dawes

Lovely gentle class but definitely did  me some good. So relaxed. 

Janet Cole-Brooman

This new yoga class was rightly named ‘Gentle’ but for me who hasn’t practiced Yoga for several years it was a good reminder of the basic principles and moves.  A very mixed small class , however  Donna is skilled in assessing the abilities and needs of those attending and managed to make it challenging for everyone.  For those starting Yoga …or even wishing to improve mobility in all areas it is a good and helpful class. I sure she can take clients as far as they want to go as the weeks go by, and the class will remain inclusive to all.

Michelle Hill

I look forward to this class every week now. Made to feel extremely welcome by everyone. Any ability catered for. A gentle class that still leaves you feeling like you've made positive effort towards a healthier body and mind. 

Suzanne  Griffin

Mary Squires

These classes are great. Donna is lovely and makes everyone feel good about themselves. Come and join the class. 

Stephen  Squires 

I  am not a well man ,but I would thoroughly recommend this Yoga class. Donna .who runs the class. Is both sympathetic and supportive.  She stresses that we must not attempt anything that might cause pain and we can do the exercises sitting on a chair, which is a great. Help for me. I can recommend this class wholeheartedly. 

Angela Couch

Yoga with Donna is great. She is very aware of everyone’s needs and tailors her classes accordingly. These classes are suitable for everyone from complete beginners to people coming back to yoga, as I did. 

Loverly and very kind to different people's abilities 

Stephen Squires

Absolutely marvellous. I am not well , but Donna looks after us all.  We can use a chair and we’re not forced into anything that hurts. I love attending  and feel the sessions really help me

This is a group class for all abilities, beginners are very welcome. I encourage you to work at your own pace. no need to worry what anyone else is doing.  There is no competition in a yoga practice, not even with yourself. I will always help you with modifications to make the practice work for your body. This class is very accessible and will give you confidence in your body.   

We always start with some warming up, sometimes a breathing practice to centre. We work towards a pose ,taking time to get there. We have fun along the way to make the practice enjoyable and achievable .

Towards the end of the class we practice some yoga breathing, which is called pranayama. This is of huge benefit to the nervous system and helps us to relax and calm before final relaxation for around  ten minutes. This is so helpful for our mental health and well being and helps the immune  system to work better.

MONDAY MORNING CLASS

Tuesday Evening  Yoga

John Locke

First time at Yoga so a little apprehensive. Donna, was welcoming & helpful, supplying me with a mat, cushion & knee support (both of mine crocked). Her direction was clear and everyone could sense her willingness to go slowly and not expect anyone to get the variety of moves and stretches immediately. A very sensitive person. I felt truly recharged after the 75 minute session. Slept very well & fewer pains! I shall return!

Richard Nicholls 

Lovely friendly environment. Warm greeting on arrival. Very relaxing evening yoga session. Would definitely recommend.

Had 4 weeks away so a little rusty (read stiff) but Donna’s gentle approach to newbies allows one to ease into movement without discomfort. I shall return! 

Debra Haines

Hattie Todd

Such a lovely evening class, thank you so much Donna. Would recommend 100%

This is a lovely class to get your day off to a good start.  This is a slightly faster pace than my Monday class, although still suitable for beginners as well as those who are practiced in yoga. 

We start with warm ups, breathing and gentle stretches. We work with breath and movement. This has an energizing quality that is truly nourishing. We usually work on Standing postures, then floor. I always include a balance and a gentle inversion. We finish with a breathing practice and relaxation.
