Drop in Classes / Outdoor Yoga

Winter has arrived, and it’s time to turn inwards, get cosy and warm indoors, to reflect and self nurture. Imagine an hour and a half to dedicate to you, to indulge your mind, body and spirit in a rejuvenating, heart-warming yoga session which creates calm, harmony and balance, reboots energy/immunity and tones the body.

I’m running two evening yoga classes, both in cosy candle-lit locations for extra ambience, teaching traditional Hatha (Sivananda-based) with a mix of Dru, a flowing potent and therapeutic style of yoga that focuses on healing the heart energy.

Mondays

  • Hatha/Dru yoga, at Cornerstone Community Centre, Church Road, Hove (corner First Avenue).  7.30pm till 9pm.  £8 drop-in (course discounts and concessions available).  Sivananda-based hatha yoga, including deep relaxation, pranayama (breathing exercises), sun salutations, and a series of dynamic and gentle asanas/flowing sequences to relaxing music.  Suitable for all levels.

The perfect wind-down at the end of the day.  The pace is slower, and the class is very relaxing, with pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, and a series of gentle and dynamic sequences and asanas (poses).  All levels welcome, it is an ideal class for beginners to try.  Cost £8 drop in  / £42 course of six.  Call Sarah on 07960 023871 or Revitalise  directly on 01273 738 389 to book your place.  www.revitalise-u.co.uk

One to one yoga...

If you’re new to yoga or it's difficult to get to class consider some private tuition.  Sarah can develop a personalised yoga programme, whether it's to reduce back pain, deepen awareness of the asanas, increase flexibility, boost confidence, or simply focus on reducing stress levels/depression/anxiety by learning yogic/relaxation techniques to draw on during the day.

Notes for yoga students:

  • To promote safety I will ask you to complete a short health questionnaire before class.
  • Please wear loose comfortable clothing (layering is best) with something warm  for the final relaxation.
  • Allow one to two hours after eating before practising yoga.
  • Mats and blocks are provided at the venues, but you are welcome to bring your own.

  • Salute the sun and increase your energy and vitality in an outdoor yoga session, run weekly over the summer months, Hove Lawns (at the corner of the Western end of Hove lawns, near the bottom of Fourth Avenue, near the beach huts).  9.15 am till 10.30 am May to October, dry weather permitting.  £8 drop in, please text to confirm your place (07960 023871) and bring your own yoga mat, some water, a hat, sunscreen and wear layers as you will warm up then cool down in the final relaxation.
