It asks the artist to consider the ‘whole’ piece as it evolves- the hierarchy of emphasis and structure within an abstract composition.

This class is suitable for those with a reasonable level of fitness who want to extend their yoga practice. This open class is traditional, slow-paced and meditative and helps encourage proper breathing, flexibility, strength and vitality in the body while calming the mind.
Yoga Nidra is a state of mind between wakefulness and sleep that opens the deep phases of the mind. The practice takes place lying down under a blanket. Yoga Nidra creates greater mental clarity, problem-solving ability and can be used to improve sports performance and recovery. It doesn’t require great skill or physical capability and can be used as an adjunct to other healing modalities and treatments.
The Dynamic ‘Vinyasa Flow’ Yoga is a heating, flowing sequence of Yoga postures that move from sequence to sequence by means of a Vinyasa. The sequencing pays particular homage to the primary and intermediate Ashtanga series. The results which are both immediate in certain areas and cumulative in others are: a light, strong and athletic body, a peaceful mind and a happy persona.
“This is a really important class in many respects; it improves the quality of thought & focus”
“I enjoyed various techniques which was beneficial for my whole body. I recommend this class.”
