Our unique foundation yoga class for the beginner, the stiff, old or broken or the experienced practitioner wanting to re-establish correct alignment.
15 years in the making - this yoga/physio hybrid class is a powerful tool to create a solid foundation in your body and also in your yoga practice. Originally designed to help people with physical issues or those in need of injury rehabilitation, it soon became a cult class for practitioners of all levels wanting to re-establish correct technique & alignment and stabilise the body.
