PICK YOUR FAVOURITE, OR TRY THEM ALL!
HOT BIKRAM YOGA
Vigorous and exhilarating, a fixed sequence of yoga postures taught in a heated room with added humidity to increase flexibility and enhance stamina. These classes are great for both beginners, but experienced yogis also enjoy them.
HOT VINYASA YOGA
Also heated. A creative flowing class, set to music, where a range of postures and transitions are explored. Yogis of all levels are welcome in these classes.
HOT POWER YOGA
Similar to our Hot Vinyasa classes, but with an increased cardio element - some strength work and added stamina training. A great class for people who are serious about fitness.
YIN YOGA
Long, slow, deep. Yin Yoga is a non-heated practice in which deep stretches are held for a few minutes at a time in order to heal the joints and connective tissues.
MEDITATION
A weekly gathering where we practice different styles of mindfulness meditation, mostly guided, with beginners instruction. Our meditation classes are not linked to any specific tradition, and are open to people from all backgrounds and levels of experience.
ROCKET YOGA
Based on the classical ashtanga sequence, this class has a number of added mood-elevating postures, including heart openers and arm balances. A great class for people who want to play and unleash their inner child. Ideally you should have done one or two vinyasa classes before coming to a Rocket class.
MEET THE TEAM
POP IN AND MEET OUR AMAZING TEACHERS!
NOLTE
Nolte is a chiropractor and yoga instructor. His modern soldier yoga is a vigorous flow grounded in warrior poses and yoga lunges, influenced by movement arts like martial arts and animalistic locomotion.
JAMES
James approaches yoga from his background in Daoist martial arts and Jungian psychology. You can expect a progressively challenging synergetic journey, one riddled with poetic narrative and yet anchored by mindful presence.
JOHANNES
Johannes has many years experience in yoga and meditation. His classes include instruction on basic alignment, but also give experienced yogi’s the opportunity to explore advanced postures.
EUGENE
Eugene is a qualified yoga teacher that comes from an Aerobic background and teaches a combination of Power Yoga and Vinyasa flow. You can expect to be challenged in a practice that embraces yoga asana to music, with attention to sequencing that facilitates smooth transitions, technique and breath.
SANDI
Sandi has a background in dancing. She teaches classes that integrate breath with movement, integrating a mixture of standing postures and arm balances.
EVA
Eva has been practicing yoga for many years and trained with a variety of teachers around the world. In her classes she focuses on breath awareness, alignment and mindful transitions between postures with the aim to create a safe space for beginners but also offer a challenge for experienced yogis. You can expect dynamic flows and creative sequencing inspired by Ashtanga, YogaSynergy and Budokon.
