Vinyasa yoga class
Thursdays in term time
9.30-10.30am
Grayswood Village Hall
Do you spend your days racing around, getting everybody to the right place, with the right kit at the right time – and wish you could carve out a little time that’s just for you?
Would you like to create some regular time and space just for you, so you can feel stronger, calmer and more resilient – both on and off the mat?
Join me on Thursday mornings for a playful and dynamic vinyasa yoga class, where movement is linked with the breath to build strength, flexibility and focus.
These classes are fun, friendly and fairly strong, giving you the opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and focus on yourself. We’ll explore familiar flows alongside more playful and challenging poses, helping you build confidence, determination and trust in what your body can do.
In our first half-term block this September, we’ll take some time to familiarise ourselves with the sequences we regularly flow through, building heat, strength and flexibility – particularly if it’s been a little while since you last rolled out your mat.
Each week, we’ll also explore a particular area of the body or family of poses, gradually building the strength, mobility and foundations we need to work towards some of the more playful and challenging poses we’ll explore in future blocks.
Come along, move, breathe, challenge yourself and have some fun.
There are six classes in the block, taking us up to the October half term.
Sessions are now available to book online. You can sign up the block for the best value or drop in when you can make it.
You can also catch my online classes on a Monday lunchtime, 12-1pm.
Places are limited so sign up today to secure your spot.

What to bring
A yoga mat (I do have some spares so don’t worry if you don’t have one or forget to bring it)
Any yoga props that you like to use (I have a supply of blocks and straps)
Anything warm/soft/comfortable that you like to use for relaxation – bolsters, pillows, blankets, eye pillows all very welcome
Wear something comfortable and stretchy you can practice yoga in and something snuggly you can relax in.
Tips for your practice
Try to practice on an empty stomach. We twist and fold during our practice and this can be uncomfortable if you’re digesting food.
Drink plenty of water before and after class to keep hydrated but try to avoid drinking during the class as cold water can cool the body down in contrast to the heat that we build to work safely with the muscles.
Wear comfortable stretchy clothes that will not restrict your practice and beware of anything too loose that may fall over your head every time you come into a downward dog! Remove any jewellery and its best not to practice in socks as these can slip on the mat, although feel free to pop them back on and bring something warm and cosy for relaxation.
Practice with kindness, don’t force any movements and try to let go of any frustration you feel at the strength or flexibility that may not yet be available to you. With patience and practice, it will come. Try to keep your facial muscles relaxed, sometimes when we’re concentrating or working hard, this can present itself as a frown, smile!
