Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa refers to the Sanskrit term for connection. In terms of a yoga asana (posture) practice,
Vinyasa Flow classes will usually consist of a variety of asana (postures), from standing, seated,
twists and inversions, linked together with movement and breath.
The breath helps to build a basis that allows fluid movement through the sequence.
Charlotte’s classes offer a wide range of options depending on your practice level so, whether you
are an advanced asana practitioner or a complete beginner be rest assured that you are in safe
hands under her guidance.
You will leave the class feeling rejuvenated, relaxed, and ready to take on the world.
Dynamic Vinyasa
Charlotte’s Energetic Dynamic Flow class is a vinyasa class, just at a faster pace.
Expect to sweat and come out feeling incredibly energised.
This class offers the chance to take those arm balances you’ve been working on, explore the
world of upside down, and build on your strength and flexibility under the guidance of Charlotte’s
expert eye of alignment.
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga works deeply into your body with passive, longer-held poses.
It targets the deepest tissues of the body, the deeper fascia networks, and the meridians (energy
pathways of the human body according to Chinese medicine). This practice is in contrast to a
Yang yoga practice like Vinyasa Flow which looks at stretching and strengthening the muscles.
Energetically, Yin Yoga improves the energy flow throughout the body and its organs, enhancing
the flow of Qi to provide an overall sense of relaxation and positive health.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra, also known as 'Yogic Sleep', is an ancient meditation technique where practitioners
enter a deeper state of conscious relaxation, moving awareness from the external world to the
internal. The most general description of the practice is that it combines guided mental imagery
with a specific yoga posture called Savasana.
Mandala Vinyasa
Mandala Vinyasa yoga, is a practice that works towards a firm intention and established on the
four elements that bring connection between you and each of the Elements in the Universe –
Earth, Water, Fire and Air. During a Mandala Vinyasa class, you will be integrating the spiral
patterns of nature, as there is never perfection nor straight lines in nature. You’ll explore circular
movements with your body, moving around all four corners of the mat in 360 degrees.
Beginners Yoga
Beginners classes offers you the chance for an accessible and thorough introduction to a yoga
practice.
We will focus our attention on correct breathing (pranayama), basic asana (postures), relaxation,
meditation, and a guide that will structure your practice to suit your personal needs.
If you are brand new to the practice or need to brush up on a few skills, this course is for you
