A bit about the yoga classes on offer at the Mooryoga Studio…
VINYASA FLOW
A breath to movement practice where you ‘flow’ from one posture to another. A Vinyasa Flow practice fires up and energises the whole body. This class is for all abilities - each pose can be modified according to ability.Vinyasa Flow is fairly aerobic and primarily focuses one the continuous movement with the breath. Vinyasa flow can raises your heart rate and helps increase strength and flexibility.
GENTLE FLOW YOGA
A slower more restorative practice where we enter each posture gradually working with the breath. Some of the class will be a gentle ‘breath to movement flow’ where you move mindfully from one posture to another and some of the class will involve being in more restorative postures for a longer period of time ~ allowing the nervous system to settle. This class is suitable for complete beginners, those returning after injury or those who wish to take a more gentle approach to their practice - each pose can be modified according to ability.
YIN YOGA
A slower practice aiming to create inner calm. Postures are held for a longer length of time allowing space for self awareness whilst releasing tension and achieving complete relaxation of the muscles. Yin Yoga targets the deep fascia layers (the connective tissue in our body that keeps us intact and connected) that we don’t often reach - freeing stagnant or blocked energy. Yin Yoga trains these layers to become stronger and more flexible encouraging increased mobility and blood flow. Yin Yoga has been found to calm the nervous system, reducing emotional imbalances and easing feelings of anxiety and depression.
RESTORATIVE YOGA
A practice to help bring us into a state of balance without any active (strong) stretches or engagements in the body. The practice uses a combination of supportive props and longer gentle holds to help bring a sense of calm and comfort that triggers our body’s healing mechanisms. Restorative yoga can boost the immune system — When we aren't well rested, our immune system can start to suffer. Restorative yoga can help bring us into a meditative state encouraging the rest and relaxation needed to keep our immune system functioning healthily and happily. This practice is suitable for everyone, but highly recommended for those with injuries or recovering from injury. Restorative yoga is very beneficial for those suffering from stress or anxiety. It has been found to slow the heart rate, reduce blood pressure and calm the mind.
OUTDOOR YOGA
During the warmer months I run a weekly Outdoor Yoga class in Lynmouth on a Monday morning. We practice in an idyllic location right next to the sea - allowing you to breath in the fresh sea air whilst taking in the beautiful views of Lynmouth bay and Foreland Point. Outdoor Yoga connects you to the earth through a relaxing and energising practice. Practicing outside gives you the added benefit of extra vitamin D. The fresh air heightens your awareness of breath and helps you feels more present. Outdoor Yoga helps to lower cortisol levels and reduces stress. It helps boost the immune system. A truly wonderful way to start the week!
