Course Overview

Course Overview
Want an evening yoga practice that supports balance, ease and mental clarity?

This mixed level evening course is designed for adults who want to move mindfully, unwind and reset at the end of the day. Sessions combine accessible Hatha yoga, movement, breath awareness and relaxation, allowing learners to release the day’s demands while staying gently active. Postures are adaptable, so learners can work at their own pace and level.

Classes follow a calm, steady rhythm and include gentle stretches, standing and floor based postures, breathing practices and guided relaxation. The emphasis is on moving with ease, improving comfort in the body and supporting mental clarity rather than pushing intensity or performance.

Sessions offer a supportive space to slow down, reconnect with the body and leave feeling more settled, refreshed and ready for the rest of the evening.
