About Hridaya Hatha Yoga:
Hridaya hatha yoga is a form of classical hatha yoga practiced in a contemplative style. We often describe it as meditation in motion.
The practice is mostly performed with the eyes closed and we generally hold the āsanas for longer than other styles. This helps us to interiorise and connect with the more subtle aspects of our being.
The practice is slow and gentle and at the same time, deeply energising. We practice with a non-pushing attitude, striking a balance between effort and relaxation.
Level: People of all ages, body shapes, sizes and ability are welcome. No prior experience necessary, you will be fully guided throughout the session.
Please let us know, prior to class commencing, if you are pregnant or post-natal or if you have an injury. This way we can tailor the class, so it is safest for your body – there are lots of easy ways to add variations and make the whole class accessible to everyone.
What to Bring:
The space is not equipped with yoga mats or props. However, we do have a limited number of yoga mats and meditation cushions. We encourage you to bring your own equipment if you have it.
Wear comfortable clothing that you feel confident to move in. Layers are recommended, so you can best regulate your body temperature. It is particularly important that we have warm layers (especially jumpers and socks) for the shavasana at the end of class.
Location:
