New Vinyasa Flow Yoga Class

A Vinyasa class with Amanda is a journey of self discovery. The class begins by turning inward to listen to the bodies innate wisdom. The sequence begins slowly with a gentle warming of the body to prepare for a deeper dynamic flow. Once the peak has been climbed she will guide you down to a nourishing set of restorative poses designed to release any deep seated tension you may be carrying. Sprinkled with humour and fun, Amanda brings her unique style to the art of yoga, encouraging you to follow your own pace and bodies needs.

Her new weekly Vinyasa Flow Yoga class is on every Wednesday from 19:30 - 20:30pm starting from 30th October 2019. This class is closed from 11th December until 22nd January and will restart from 5th February 2020.
