This signature practice weaves together an exploration of body, breath and movement, through a supportive range of stillness, flow and restorative.

An encouraging practice of self regulation, blending softness and strength to support the body’s natural rhythm. Through carefully curated asana and breath techniques.

With deep respect for the lineage of this practice, we honour its teachings as a foundation of self inquiry.

As the winter months start to settle in, the end of this practice invites you to embrace the nurture of a slightly extended rest invitation. With props — cushions, blankets, bolsters to support you.

Beginners, all levels | in-person only

A dynamic flow with movement based around vinyasa, creative and nourishing sequences that are theme led, often linked with the elements, moon phases or the cycles of the seasons.

Bryony encourages awareness and connection to breath whilst listening to your body's intuition. A chance to strengthen and focus with reminders to stay curious and playful. You can expect manta, mudra, conscious playlists and deep relaxation at the end.

Let yourself drink in the goodness of practice. All welcome.

This practice is an unhurried blend of yin and restorative yoga. A slow and purposeful space designed to ease you gently toward rest. We nestle into longer-held, supported shapes as gravity gets to work. This gentle unraveling intends to soften the edges of your day and take the weight of things like busyness, burnout and anxiety.
Inspired by the wisdom of Yogic and Taoist traditions, as well as the cyclical nature of all things, this is a grounded approach to mindful breathing and being. Attuning to the quiet intelligence of the body through fascia, fluid and subtle rhythm- each session is a reflective ritual of return.

All levels welcome.

Pilates helps to build intrinsic stable strength. Hannah works with everything from rehab and injury recovery to pre- and post-natal training, sport-specific strength, and helping people grow confidence with strength training. 

 She has so much deep respect for the Classical Pilates principles and bases her classes around this, with some creative twists and dynamic flows which are energising but also deeply grounding.

Pilates is not only a nice opportunity to build stability and strength but also a chance to come back to our bodies and move in a way that brings us into that ‘rest and digest’ state. With breath work and some flowy movements, her classes are like a whole body refresh. Expect to leave feeling strong, connected and supported.

Ailsa will guide you through a Mandala Vinyasa Flow and Yoga Nidra sequence. The epitome of from yang to yin, each class will begin with a Mandala sequence, which involves moving around the yoga mat in all directions, and close with an extended relaxation of Yoga Nidra. Flowing, smooth and constant movement synchronised with the breath as well as the creative, playful and flowing Mandala sequence combine to create an uplifting and energising style of class. Immerse yourself in this moving meditation to stretch and strengthen the body, calm the mind and reduce stress. Each class will explore one of the five elements from the yoga tradition. Each element is linked to a different area of the body, a different Chakra and a different aspect of your life. The Vinyasa Flow portion is designed to clear the mind, release tension and create space for you to land back in your body, preparing you to enjoy the restful stillness of Yoga Nidra. The rejuvenating, restorative and grounding practice of Yoga Nidra comprises the final portion of the class. Yoga Nidra is a form of meditation practised lying down and guides you between sleep and wakefulness. This state is profoundly nourishing and restorative and helps you to guide your body into the rest and digest nervous system response. Ailsa’s classes are for all levels and suitable for everyone from beginners to those more experienced at practising yoga. Ailsa gives a number of options in more challenging poses to accommodate all levels. Overall, Ailsa’s yoga classes are a deeply relaxing, meditative and physically rewarding experience.
