Basics
This class is for beginners looking to learn the foundations of yoga. Our Basics classes focus on introductory poses, breathing techniques and proper alignment to help you build strength, flexibility and mindfulness.
HOT 26
A set sequence made up of 26 poses and 2 breathing exercises, conducted in a heated room. Practiced regularly over time, you can expect to be able to execute each pose with greater depth and stability - a testament of improved mobility, flexibility and strength. A good introduction to hot class for beginners, or anyone who enjoys a good stretch in a heated room (around 40℃)
HATHA
Our Hatha class caters to students who have some experience with yoga and looking to deepen their practice. In this beginner-intermediate class, teachers focus on holding poses longer with the objective of building strength and flexibility to prepare you for more advanced poses. Expect a holistic class that includes dynamic movements, static holds and strength building drills. Arm balances, hip openers and backbends will be taught in this class too.
HATHA 2
Hatha Level 2 (Hatha 2) is for experienced practitioners who want to further their practice by exploring more challenging poses and sequences. Students will work on drills to achieve mobility and strength needed to execute advanced poses safely. This is a class to push your boundaries, build endurance and enhance your overall well-being. In Hatha 2, expect advanced and complex poses that range from arm-balances to backbends and hip openers. Inversions and transitions between poses will also be taught.
FLOW ALIGN
Flow Align is a practice of yoga poses through alignment that compliments breathing. With the layering of physical and energetic engagement, you will be engaged in a purposeful sequence that brings you into a peak pose.
FLOW
Flow is a movement-based class for students with a knowledge of fundamental yoga poses. It is a fun and fast class for yogis to move smoothly and gracefully from one pose to another. Expect creative sequencing and transitions with arm balances and inversions. Options are available for students new to Flow classes.
CORE
Core is a strength-based class that works on strengthening the core muscles through multiple sets and repetitions of movements / drills. The class seeks to enhance your physical awareness that compliments yoga and any other physical activity that you may engage in. As movements introduced will be technically easy to execute, no yoga experience is required. Do expect a good challenge to your physical strength and endurance as we go through many repetitions of each movement. Be prepared to sweat buckets!
STRETCH
Stretch is a great class to work on your flexibility. With gentle movements and longer holds, this class will help relieve tense/tight muscles, pain, and release trapped lactic acid in the body.
YIN
Slow-paced with poses held for longer periods, Yin yoga helps to increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility. It also aims to cultivate one's inner silence - a reprieve from busy modern lifestyles.
YIN Yang
Yin Yang provides a well-constructed sequence to improve fitness while promoting relaxation, by integrating both Yin (passive, cooling energy) and Yang (dynamic, warming energy).
MOBILITY
This is not a stretch class. Mobility training is strength training. Our Mobility classes are designed to enhance your joints’ range of motion, control, strength and overall movement quality through targeted drills. This class may incorporate some passive stretching. However, a major portion of the class will be focussed on isometric holds or controlled movement through a chosen range. Expect weight bearing exercises. Classes will rotate through 3 themes Upper body mobility - shoulders, wrists, elbows Lower body mobility - hips, knees and ankles Spine mobility - lateral, twists, flexion and extension As you attend our classes regularly, you'll notice a steady improvement in your mobility and flexibility. (If you are currently expecting, do join us in our Prenatal classes instead.)
STRETCH & SOUND THERAPY
This class is a perfect time to slow down the mind and stretch out those tight muscles- Yin Yoga practised in the immersive experience of the Himalayan singing bowls. You will be embraced into a state of calmness against the background of the meditative resonance of sound therapy that you not only hear but feel, while guiding and surrendering your body into a comfortable alignment.
PRENATAL
A class for all mother-to-be, to have a comfortable and enjoyable pregnancy through the techniques of breathing exercises, physical movements and postures to strengthen and relax the body, to ease the mind and to connect with their baby in a safe and supportive environment. Kindly check with your doctor before starting any exercise program.
More information here! INVERSIONS
This class focuses on the safe and effective practice of inversions, including headstands, handstands and forearm stands. Inversions is suitable for practitioners with a regular hatha practice. Drills will be taught to strengthen the upper body. Do expect to walk up the walls, hold for an extended period in order to build strength and endurance. Inversions help improve balance, strength and concentration whilst boosting confidence and overcoming fear. Join us in turning the world upside down!
backbends
Backbends focuses on improving spine, shoulder and hip mobility. Suitable for everyone regardless of your existing range of motion, we seek to build on your individual capacity to practice backbends with control. Expect end range strength drills coupled with some passive stretching in each session
INVERSIONS
In Arm Balances, you will learn strength drills and other prep work required to safely enter arm balances. As students will be on their hands and arms for extended periods in this class, baseline upper body strength is required. The class is not for beginners. Students should have a regular Hatha / Flow practice. This is a specialised class that will challenge students with advanced poses.
vinyasa slow flow
This is a movement-based class for students with some knowledge of fundamental yoga poses. As a slower version of our Flow class, students can still expect seamless transitions and creative sequencing, but advanced options for arm balances and inversions will not be given in this class. Suitable as an introductory flow practice for those who have only been to hatha and basics, but would like to experience a flow class without the worry of speed or advanced poses typical in a regular flow class.
yin (with myofascial release)
Expect long and passive holds in this practice. The intention of Yin Yoga is to affect ligaments and the deeper connective tissues called fascia. Myofascial refers to fascia that wraps around muslces. Myofasical Release (MFR) is an alternative technique that treats muscle immobility and pain by relaxing the contracted muscles. The long hold allows the muscles to relax and work into the deeper layers of our body. By tugging and loading them in a yin-like manner, we increase blood supply, fluidity and suppleness to these areas. The long-held, passive nature of the Yin practice hones our interoception, inviting us to a journey inward. The MFR techniques applied in our classes come in the form of ball rolling, trigger point release with props. MFR helps to release adhesions, reduce pain and stiffness in our muscles.
Children's yoga
This class is specially crafted for children between the ages of 10 to 12 years old. The aim of the class is to introduce children to the basics of yoga and breathing techniques. Through the practice of the breathing techniques and yoga poses, children will learn how to keep calm and train their focus. Prerequisites:
