Yoga for Women, Woman-Aligned & Pregnancy
Tuesdays, 19:00-20:00 London Time, via zoom
Classes will be back soon!
WHAT TO EXPECT
In this class, we share practices that are empowering, grounding and gleeful with you, creating space for you to thrive and flourish. We can begin to see this practice as a vital movement which enables space, community and time to acknowledge your experiences, cultivating a deep awareness of yourself and your body.
Despite approximately 80% of yoga practitioners in the UK being female, contemporary yoga is largely built upon a foundation and understanding of anatomy and alignment for men, by men. This isn’t to say that we should leave behind our dynamic, strength & heat building practices. Instead, perhaps there is the opportunity to explore a complement that is more grounded in experiences of women and woman-aligned, appropriate for all stages and cycles of life.
In general, this is a slower, softer class, which combines meditation, pranayama (breath practices), yoga postures and gentle somatic movement to help you attune to your body, cultivating ease and space.
WHO THIS CLASS IS FOR
This class is for you if you identify as a woman or woman-aligned (this is intended to be language which includes trans women, genderqueer people and femmes), it is fully-accessible if you a pregnant or postpartum, are menstruating or experiencing endometriosis. This class does not include prone (front-lying) or supine (back-lying) positions.
WHAT YOU NEED
A yoga mat (maybe, a carpeted floor is also probably fine!), a strap/belt/scarf, a blanket, a yoga bolster or a large cushion, and a block are all nice to have, plus anything else you like to have for your yoga practise.

Restorative Yoga
Tuesdays, 20:15-21:15 London Time, via zoom
Classes will be back soon!
WHAT TO EXPECT
Join Harriet for a 60 minute class, dedicated to rest, replenishing and grounding.
You can expect to rest in 3-4 postures each class, beginning with more upright/seated postures to help us unravel our days/bodies/minds, and ease into reclining postures, which a long savasana.
This class spends more time in postures (anywhere from 2-5 or 15-20 minutes) and also offers more silence from the teacher. We provide a playlist if you’d like to have background music playing.
WHO THIS CLASS IS FOR
Suitable for beginners through to experienced practitioners and yoga teachers. Something for everyone with opportunities to tone up or down depending on your mood, energy levels and needs. This class will involve some prone (i.e. front lying) postures, so modifications will be offered if you are pregnant. Feel free to contact us if you have a specific question or concern you’d like to chat through.
WHAT YOU NEED

- A yoga mat
- 2 bolsters (one round and one rectangular is ideal)

Yoga Studies Reading Group with Theo Wildcroft
Having run a Teachers co-practice for some years, it’s clear that there are students that want to learn from Theo in a way that goes beyond her standard course offerings, and to be in a more free-flowing and intimate conversation. A year ago, however, after 15 years of teaching yoga, Theo took the decision to stop teaching a physical practice for a while, while she worked out how to best support her new diagnosis with an autoimmune condition.
That sabbatical from teaching and practising hathayoga has turned out great. Theo is swimming, walking and learning a little T’ai Chi. It’s all practice; it’s just that practice has changed. What Theo really wants to share with you isn’t vinyasa and pawanmuktasana. You already know how to do that.
We think that conversation might be much better supported by a monthly reading group than a shared practice.
Roughly every 3rd Tuesday of the month you can expect conversations on topical issues in yoga, as well as things that, for Theo, inspire and support a lifelong practice of not just asana, but meditation, journeying, rest, dance and more.
