This class is suitable for all. A gentle flow to start your day, starting with foundation poses in week one we will then begin to expand our knowledge of poses to strengthen the body and focus the mind.

This class is all about awakening the body and preparing you for the day ahead. The beginning of class will follow the same format each week, breath work, joint mobilisation to sun salutations. We will then bring in more challenging poses with a different theme / focus each week.
