Monday 31st August – Hatha Yoga – 18:30 - 19:30

Hatha yoga is known as the yoga of balance, with ‘ha’ meaning sun and ‘tha’ alluding to the moon. This class involves physical poses that will leave you feeling longer, looser and way more relaxed. Perfect as an intro to yoga, and as a weekly class to bring some calm to your chaos.

relief.

A beauts barre class outdoors overlooking the river Thames.
Perfect for beginners and more experienced barre enthusiasts. Expect long stretches
and postures, whilst exercising muscles you never knew existed. A low impact,
slow burn class which is a fusion of ballet, pilates and yoga. Leave feeling
relaxed, fully stretched, and with a new spring in your step.

strengthen weak ones and rehabilitate those niggles.

world over.
Friday 4th September – Hatha Vinyasa Flow – 09:00 - 10:00
Southwark Park, Bermondsey
Hatha yoga is slow paced type of yoga with long poses and lengthy stretches. Vinyasa is a faster paced practice focusing on aligning breathing with movement. This hybrid class is a collision between the two, bringing the calm of hatha with the movement and exertion of vinyasa. Expect physical poses that will leave you feeling longer, looser and way more relaxed.
Trainer
Larissa Viana took her yoga qualifications in Mysore, India and also actively practises Reiki. Her classes are suitable for all, sequences are modified for all levels. Inclusivity is key!
