Yoga Classes at Coastguard Studio
Power Yoga | 6:30pm Monday Evenings
Power Flow classes are dynamic, playful and challenging, taking you deeper into what yoga has to offer through stronger postures, inversions, breathwork and philosophy.
Expect faster-flowing sequences that warm the body, strengthen the muscles and challenge your energy levels, with a combination of standing poses, core work and mindful transitions.
These classes are ideal if you enjoy a faster-paced practice, want to build heat and strength, and are ready to explore more challenging postures.
Classes also include pranayama (breathwork) and always finish with deep relaxation.
Pause – Yin & Deep Relaxation | 7.30pm Monday Evenings
Chill out with this evening wind-down.
Pause is a restorative Yin Yoga class designed to help you slow down, release tension and reconnect with yourself.
We move through a series of supported, long-held floor poses, using bolsters and props to encourage muscular release and restoration for both body and mind.
Yin Yoga is a passive, non-ambitious practice, with an emphasis on stillness, mindfulness and mindful breathing. Rather than focusing on strengthening the muscles, Yin works with the body’s deeper connective tissues and joints, making it a wonderful practice for recovery, rest and relaxation.
The class concludes with a guided meditation and extended Savasana, giving you space to completely switch off.
Regulate Slow Flow – 6pm on Tuesdays
Slow down. Breathe. Regulate.
Regulate is designed for anyone looking to reduce stress, support nervous-system regulation and move more mindfully.
This beginner-friendly class combines Slow Flow Vinyasa with Yin Yoga, creating a gentle and grounding practice with an emphasis on the exhale, pauses, breath connection and mindful movement.
We begin with a gentle Slow Flow Vinyasa sequence, focusing on the fluidity of movement and synchronising breath with mindful poses.
Intentional transitions help to develop strength, flexibility and body awareness while creating a sense of calm within the movement. In the second half of the class, we move into the quieter world of Yin Yoga. Longer-held, supported poses encourage the body to soften and release, while creating space for stillness, introspection and deeper relaxation.
Throughout the class, the breath is used as a guide. We’ll place particular emphasis on conscious breathing, longer exhales and moments of pause to encourage a deeper connection between breath, body and movement.
Vinyasa Yoga – 6.30pm on Wednesdays
Move, breathe and explore. The Journey is a Vinyasa Flow class built around a unique peak pose. Every class follows a different theme, story and intention, creating an opportunity to explore the connection between body, breath and mind.Through flowing sequences and mindful transitions, you’ll build strength, mobility and body awareness while working towards the class’s peak pose.Take time to appreciate what your body can do, move with intention and finish your practice feeling released, refreshed and energised.This empowering flow class is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with a deeper yoga experience, with options and modifications offered throughout.
