A regular yoga ‘asana’ practice helps create strength, space and flexibility in the body. However, yoga is not about being super flexible or pushing the body to the end result, hence why we call it a ‘practice’. It is much more about accepting the journey and bringing calm to the mind, grounding, and finding a sense of peace and well-being.
As one of the oldest yoga studios in Brighton, we are proud to offer many different styles of yoga to suit all ages, body types and levels of experience including beginner. Our teachers are carefully selected, highly trained and hugely experienced. Our reception staff can help you decide which class is best for you so please ask if you have any questions. Below are the types of yoga we offer.
We recommend a beginners course for anyone brand new to yoga if you can commit to a block of 5-6 weeks. In our courses, you will join a small group and have plenty of one to one support from the teacher.
