Dear yogi, we’re currently upgrading the website and so will be offline for a short time today. We apologise for any disruption to your practice and, in the meantime, would like to offer these classes for you to practice. We’re working hard in the background so that normal service will be resumed soon. Thank you for your patience.

The route to relieve tension

Ease tired and achy muscles with these therapeutic classes, designed to target areas where we commonly hold tension: the neck, shoulders and back.

Choose the classes that tackle the areas you’re feeling tension and practice them in any order that you wish.

Please note this is not an alternative to medical care. If you’re experiencing any pain rather than tension, please check with your health professional before you start.

You might feel the effects immediately but for the best results repeat the classes a few times a week.
