Beginners: This class is ideal if you have some experience or have attended our beginners course. We practise the various groups of poses; standing, sitting, forward poses, basic backbends, restorative poses and preparation to some inversions as well as simple breath work and relaxation.

Level 1: Classes are suitable for students who have completed our beginners course and new students with  yoga experience and a regular practice. You need to know alignment for basic standing and seated poses.

We practise standing, seated poses (twists, lateral moves & forwards) and basic backbends, as well as the foundation for inversions (shoulder stand, handstand, forearm balance & headstand) and alternatives when students cannot practise them, so you can move to the next level when ready.

Level 1 teaches you to be present and pay attention to your body responses and to understand personal needs and adjustments. It provides the groundwork to progress your practice in a safe way and prepares you for our Experienced class.

Experienced: Classes are for experienced students with a weekly regular practice of at least one year. This ensures that you have gained enough practice and understand of all the foundation poses. All the work from Level 1 is deepened and weekly practice of handstand, forearm balance, headstand and shoulderstand with or without support. Students are expected to understand the prep work and alignment for inversions and be able to perform these poses at the wall unaided or ready to learn and practise them with aid, you also need to know the alternatives when not practising these poses.

For everyone

1 Yin Doha 2022_edited.jpg

​

Yin with Doha: This class is suitable for all levels of practice - beginners to experienced practitioners.

Yin yoga is a great complement to more active yoga practice. A slow-paced practice with long passive floor poses typically held for 1 to 5 minutes. A more meditative approach yin yoga invites you to surrender and let go. Props can be used to ease into the stretches. The poses stretch and work on the the tendons, fascia and ligaments. Yin yoga is known to increase circulation in the joints,  improve flexibility, and reduce physical and mental tension.

My journey with yoga began at Hills Yoga 21 years ago and I can't image going anywhere else! I'm still learning and challenged in the poses. The different levels of classes and dedicated teachers ensure that you gain all the wonderful benefits of yoga in a safe and caring environment.
