Classes
Six classes. Pick by how you want to feel.
Every class is capped at twelve mats and taught by the same four teachers, so you learn a pose once and keep it.
- 01 Morning Flow 60 min Breath-led vinyasa that builds heat slowly. Sun salutations, standing poses, a long rest. Steady 60 min
- 02 Strong Flow 75 min Longer holds, arm balances and inversions for people who want to work. Strong 75 min
- 03 Slow & Yin 60 min Floor-based poses held for three to five minutes. Bolsters, blankets, very little talking. Gentle 60 min
- 04 Gentle Basics 60 min The foundations, taught slowly. Chairs available. Our most popular class for new students. Gentle 60 min
- 05 Prenatal 60 min For every trimester. Hip openers, gentle strength and breathing you can take into labour. Gentle 60 min
- 06 Breath & Stillness 45 min Twenty minutes of breathing practice, twenty of guided sitting. Cushions provided. Gentle 45 min

From the mats
4.9 from 380 reviews
I came for my back and stayed for Walter's Tuesday breath class. Three years in, it's the hour of my week I protect.
Twelve people, no mirrors, and a teacher who knows your name by the second class.
Ama's prenatal class got me through two pregnancies. I still use the breathing.
Visit
