Vinyasa Yoga helps to build overall strength and flexibility

Vinyasa yoga is a unique form of yoga where poses are linked with breath in a flowing sequence and the beauty of this style of yoga is the variety. Depending on your needs the flow can be dynamic with focus on strengthening postures or it could be slow with an emphasis on mobility and flexibility. You will be guided through the session with awareness between postures and careful correction of body alignment.

Benefits of Vinyasa Yoga :

Calm your mind by focusing on the steady cycle of inhale and exhale
Cardiovascular health improves by building internal heat through continual movements from one pose to another
Increased strength and flexibility ( Slow or fast paced )flow will challenge your body.

Restorative Yoga

Restorative Yoga is a restful practice that holds yoga poses ( asanas ) for a longer duration using props like yoga blocks, blankets and bolsters. It promotes deep relaxation that is beneficial to body and mind. Once the body enters the state of relaxation the mind can also consciously relax as tension is released from both body and mind. The only work required from the restorative session is to focus on your breath and enjoy the sensation if feeling stretched and supported.

Benefits of Restorative Yoga

Increased relaxation : Deep breathing calms the nervous system to promote relaxation. Studies have shown that restorative yoga is more effective at inducing relaxation than regular passive stretch.
Better Sleep : the more relaxed you are , the better your chances are of getting a good night’s rest
Reduced pain : restorative yoga helps to ease and manage musculoskeletal pain
Gentle on the body : this type of yoga is gentle on the joints and consistent practice can strengthen the connective tissues that surrounds the bones and joints.

“I first tried Ivana’s Pilates classes and private reformer sessions over ten years ago and I have never looked back. I originally came along to help me deal with back/hip pain which I can triumphantly say has not bothered me for a very long time now as ivana has helped me strengthen my core. Ivana is a wonderful motivator who will push you just enough while also maintaining a calm and good-humoured atmosphere. She has always taken the best care to support me through various health issues and is great at coming up with ‘work-arounds’ if I need them. I wholeheartedly recommend Ivana to anyone looking for ‘proper’ Pilates instruction. She is immensely knowledgeable and it’s great fun too.”

Rebecca Ekins
“The best reformer Pilates trainer I’ve ever had in 14 years practising. Ivana is so versatile, observant, creative and fun, she creates an expert, bespoke experience specific to your needs and skill level. She’s constantly up to date with new courses and advanced techniques and is a genius at somehow making each session different, fun and challenging. Ivana has that elusive gift of being professional but relaxed and caring, ensuring you enjoy each and every session, secure in the knowledge you are safely and expertly supported. Her beautiful, light and airy studio is clean and serene. Cannot recommend Ivana more highly!”
