CLASSES

our group training classes

Yoga increases flexibility, muscle strengthening & lengthening, reduces anxiety & stress, and calms nervous system. It is good for your mind, body and soul.

Our goal of Yoga in our studio is to create a safe, comfortable space. With no judgement, no “have to’s”, no competitions, no perfect postures. 

A class where each individual honours their own body and what it is capable of doing today.  Encouraging movement, breath and relaxation.  Never to feel pain, only muscle activation or stretching.

There are many different styles of Yoga that have evolved over the years, definitions have blurred, so people’s expectations differ greatly.

About: 

Our Stretch 'n' Flex classes are run by one of our practitioners who has a understanding of your body's posture, core stability and medical conditions/injuries.

This class is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. The class will be designed full of static and dynamic stretching and some balance exercises.

Static stretching– holding a muscle in a mildly uncomfortable and stretched position for a period of time (e.g. somewhere between 10 – 60 sec)

Dynamic stretching– moving a limb through its full range of motion, with or without the use of momentum, repeated for a number of repetitions without holding the end positions.

 

Cancer rehabilitation and exercise can reduce side effects of the disease and debilitating cancer treatments, and can improve functional ability, quality of life and ultimately, survival.

We understand that while surviving cancer can be difficult, recovery can also become difficult if your body is deconditioned. We know some clients can find it difficult to complete certain exercise programs due to pain, feeling sick or fatigue levels. It is not uncommon to need regular rest breaks or modified exercises on your road to recovery. Therefore, it is recommended you listen to your body and find a way you can keep moving and being active in any way possible to optimise your recovery.

Exercise is a safe and effective evidence-based intervention to counter the adverse effects of cancer and its treatment.

What is the difference between Mat & Reformer Classes?

Reformer classes can be more targeted, and can be a higher level of gentle exercise. Resistance is applied via a reformer bed which has several levels of resistance to cater for all abilities. Exercises on the Reformers could include a variation of balance, Pilates and stretches to target all areas of the body and can increase muscle strength due to the targeted resistance that is greater than just body weight, as in our Mat classes. It is personal preference so come down and try both classes out and see for yourself.

 

Learn to activate your core muscles, improve your posture and strengthen muscles throughout your body.

Mat Classes can include light weights, balance exercises and pilates based exercises done either standing up or lying on a mat. It is important that you can independently get up and down off the floor to take part in this class. We incorporate a range of Pilates equipment during the class to cater to your own individual ability and help you achieve your personal goals.

Our Mat class is particularly effective for people with an injuries or pain-related conditions, as exercises are adapted to take this into account and help with pain management and recovery.
