This course is suitable for beginners

Join me for a 60-minute dynamic vinyasa flow, where we will tap into power of the breath to guide our movements and sooth us during challenging poses. I will guide you through the various poses and this class will focus on heart and hip openers, with some deep back bends, don't worry we'll start gently.  It will be an opportunity for us to open our hearts and lengthen through our spines, balancing out some of the rounding and hunching of our hectic modern lives.

As we playfully work towards a modified King Pigeon, we will celebrate the diversity of our bodies and breath. Together we’ll practise with non-attachment and compassion, understanding that it’s not about achieving the “perfect” shape, but about cultivating curiosity in a journey towards self-understanding. We’ll end with a guided meditation to support a gentle surrender to stillness.

Rachael Ball - Yoga

I’m Rachael, mum of three, special needs teacher and passionate yogi. My personal journey into yoga began following a period of mental illness. Through my practice, I have found refuge on my mat, reconnecting with my body with curiosity and compassion. When I’m not teaching or practising yoga, I enjoy running, walking, paddleboarding and adventures with my family.
I love the playful exploration of a vinyasa flow and relish the opportunity to surrender to stillness within a yin practice. In my classes expect lots of dynamic movement and juicy stretches. Through challenging postures, I explore the ability of the breath to soothe and cultivate resilience. I like to finish each class with a guided meditation to support a gentle surrender to stillness. I hope to provide a safe and nurturing space in which we can celebrate and compassionately re-connect with our unique bodies and breath.
