Do I need to be flexible to join your yoga classes?

You don't have to be extremely flexible to enjoy yoga, and you certainly don't need to be able to touch your toes. Yoga can be done by anybody, and beginners are welcome in our classes.

How are your classes tailored for different levels and abilities?

My classes are tailored to individual needs based on experience, strength and ability. In each class, I will give variations of each posture based on your level of fitness and experience.

What is Vinyasa Flow Yoga at Body & Soul Yoga?

Vinyasa Flow Yoga is based on Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, where you flow from one posture to the next using mindful movement and steady breath. Classes mainly draw from the Ashtanga Primary Series.

Vinyasa Flow Yoga is the main style of yoga taught at Body and Soul Yoga. It is inspired by Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and involves flowing from one pose to another harmoniously, accompanied by mindful movements and focused breath. Emma incorporates postures from the Ashtanga Primary Series along with sun salutations, standing, balancing, and seated poses. Each class includes a guided relaxation to promote deep relaxation and rejuvenation.

It is important to note that Vinyasa Flow Yoga is not suitable for pregnant students who are new to yoga.

Restorative Yoga is another style offered at Body and Soul Yoga. This practise focuses on allowing the body and mind to rest and rejuvenate, offering a respite from the fast-paced and demanding nature of modern life. Props are used to support the body in comfortable positions, allowing for deep relaxation and restoration. Restorative Yoga has been proven to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes a sense of calm and relaxation.

For those seeking a more focused and strengthening practise, Core Yoga is available. Core Yoga incorporates slower postures, emphasising breath awareness and core strengthening. This style of yoga not only strengthens the body but also works to calm and focus the mind.

Regardless of your fitness level or experience with yoga, Body and Soul Yoga welcomes all individuals. Emma believes that yoga is not limited to flexible individuals and that everyone can benefit from the practise. Yoga is known for its ability to increase strength, flexibility, and body tone, while also promoting mindfulness and stress relief.
