Classes In a bit more depth

Let'g get loose and lit! The yoga way! There is a beautiful blend of all of the below throughout the carefully constructed classes. Intelligent sequencing at its finest

GENTLE HATHA - Oja Yoga sequences are designed to connect the body, mind and breath into harmony and alignment. Hatha translates to force and persisting with effort. We stay true to the tradition yet in a more gentle fashion. Ha-tha = the sun and moon, opposites coming into balance. Here we aim to come into homeostasis and equilibrium.

VIN-YIN ASANA - Carefully curated, easy to follow, guided vinyasa flow in the slow lane... can be playful (yet always with purpose) at times... Tension reduction and nervous system deep reset and regulation... Mostly legnthening, loosening, opening and detoxifying poses... Unwind and feel sublime.

SOMATIC SLOW FLOW - Tuning into and honouring our bodies inbuilt natural intelligence. Trauma informed safe space to release blockages or any thing stuck or stagnant. Supportive space to let go of what no longer serves you without talk therapy and through movement and breath.

YOQI - This is where yoga meets qi gong. In Indian/ Vedic philosophy we study the nadi's and in Chinese/ Taoist philosophy its the meridians. They both represent energy channels in our systems. Through intentional movement and breath we create, direct or level out 'prana' (or 'qi') meaning life energy.

PRANAYAMA - The power of pranayama (breath control) revolutionises well being when used correctly and consciously. Breathing techniques provide a multitude of health benefits (to many too list here!) that is now becoming popularised in main stream health and wellness modalities and backed by not only by the sages but science too. In these classes we synchronise our breathing with our movements to release tension, regulate the nervous system and level out cortisol, the stress hormone. We let our breath guide us through the movements to empower us to soften or go deeper into the shapes. We connect to the breath and connect to all pranic (life-force) energy. We use different techniques for different desired outcomes. We can cool and calm or heat and energise our systems depending on what practice we are doing.

KRIYAS - In sanskrit this translates to 'yoga of action' and are known as Shatkarmas. They flush out toxicity and impurities from the body, cleansing it so it feels healthy and glowing internally. In these classes we do a more refined version that are highly effective, like a fresh internal rinse for our vital organs increasing our ojas (vitality). Mild, mindful, meditative applications of these advanced yogi breath control methods typically guide us to a state of clarity, spaciousness and higher consciousness.

DHYANA - Increases focus, memory, confidence and clarity of thoughts over time with consistent practice. Delivered in the form of guided meditation in our sessions like a soothing brain bath and a heart hug. Decrease the level of fatigue and brain fog. Finding stability in stillness. A little bit of bliss.

MANTRA - Sound vibration can be so healing! It is a small component of the classes, however can have profound impacts resonating on the soul space for a little bit of extra soul shine accessing the divine in you and all.
