Monday

Ashtanga Yoga Level 1

7 - 8:30pm

Union House, Hall Street, Tod, OL14 7AD & Zoom

For those with some previous experience of Ashtanga yoga. We cover about half of the Ashtanga primary seires but have a different focus each week, sometimes working in sequence, at other times working towards the more challengins postures in the second half of primary. I try to offer variety, some amount of challenge and fun. There is always plenty of time for breath work and relaxation at the end. Beginners are welcome but may find it helpful to try a few introductory classes first.

I have mats and props but do advise you to try to bring your own mat and a blanket for relaxation.

Tuesday

Women's Yoga Class

8 - 8:45am

Union House, Hall Street, Todmorden, OL14 7AD

Early morning yoga class suitable for all levels and abilities. Lots of work mobilising the joints and moving the body. Some basic yoga postures with a couple of harder ones thrown in to challenge you. The class is light hearted and fun but you do work. I always make time for some breathwork, sometimes some chanting and always a relaxation at the end. The perfect wway to start your day and the week.

These classes run in blocks of 8 - £45 for 8 sessions. If booking both the Tuesday and the Thursday mornings then is is £70 for the 8 weeks.

Mysore style self practice

6 - 8pm

Union House & Zoom

A guided self practice class. Each student practises as much of the Ashtanga sequences as is suitable for them at thier own time and pace. The teacher gives verbal and hands on adjustments and teaches the student new postures as and when they ready. This is the way ashtanga is traditionally taught, all the students moving and breathing at the same time creating a focused, meditative and motivating enrgy in the room.

Wednesday

Dynamic Yoga

9:30 - 10:45am

Calderdale Yoga Centre, Hebden Bridge, HX7 7DD

A chance to look at postures in detail, focusing on technique and alignment which you can bring into your regular yoga practice or can just be a practice in itself. There is also the opportunity to experiment, to have a play and try something new by looking at how to access more challening postures. we always start the class with some chanting to help bring the awareness inwards and I always include some focus on the breath and basic pranayama techniques.

Thursday

Early morning yoga

8 - 8:45am

Union House, Todmorden,

Following on to the success of the Tuesday mornig women's class I decided to run two classes a week, this is a mixed class so open to anyone and to people of all levels and abilities. We start with a lot of warm up work, mobilising the joints. Moving on to classic yoga postures with some more challenging variations thrown in. Ending with some breathwork, maybe some chanting and always a relaxation. The perfect way to start your day.

Ashtanga Self practice

6 - 8pm

Calderdale Yoga Centre, Hebden Bridge and Zoom

If you prefer self practice or can't make the later start time of 6.30pm for the led class this session may work for you. Students do their own practice at the back of the room with guidance and hands on adjustments from me.

Please note that this class runs alongside the led class which starts at 6.30pm - students will be coming and going. You can arrive and finish when you like. experienced students only

All levels Ashtanga

6:30 - 8pm

Calderdale Yoga Centre, Hebden Bridge

A fast paced class covering most or all of the Ashtanga primary series with the occasional intermediate postures added in. Do as much or as little as feels right for you. Lots of options will be given if you are newer to the practice. There is lots of time for relaxation at the end of the class.

Do feel free to leave early if you need to. there is also the option to arrive from 6pm if you would like to do self practice

Weekend Yoga and Breakfast

These weekend yoga classes are about building a yoga community and making connections with other yogis. Teaching on a weekend gives more people the opportunity to come and practise in our lovely yoga centre in the beautiful market town of Hebden Bridge set in the Pennines.

Classes are either taught in the traditional Mysore self-practice style or are a counted primary series. We then go for a long lazy breakfast in one of the local cafes giving everyone the chance to catch up with old friends and form new friendships.

The time specified is for the class itself (2 hours), the breakfast is after this.

£15 (breakfast not included) (please don't let cost be an issue - pay less if need be)
