Classes
Which type of yoga is right for me?
There are many styles of Yoga, some so rigid and physically taxing that you have to be an athlete to participate. That's wonderful for those with the capacity, but at Yoga Compass, yoga is about focus, self improvement and inner strength. The yoga we share is expressly designed to for all bodies and minds. It is important we understand our uniqueness and what that means for our yoga practice. We must also remember that our body is different from day to day, week to week, so our practice needs to be accommodating and agile to our needs on any day.
With any practice you join, make sure you ask yourself "What do I need today?" and let your teacher know so your practice truly serves you.
Gentle Vinyasa
Great for beginners or experienced yogis, Gentle Vinyasa uses the breath and asana to create a flow of movement between poses. It provides an opportunity to build strength and balance with movement paced to each inflow and outflow of breath.
Slow flow
A slow form of vinyasa. Slow flow gives time to find each pose and extend the breath. With longer holds it is a strong satisfying yoga.
Peak
In this class we will work through flows with the aim of reaching a peak pose. This may be achieved over several weeks
Yin
A slow-paced style of yoga incorporating principles of traditional Chinese medicine, with asanas that are held for longer periods of time than in other styles.
Teen yoga
A safe and inclusive space where teens can develop a better awareness of their body, as well as their overall coordination and cognitive abilities.
Restorative
Restorative Yoga is designed so you can relax in poses, with the aid of props, without strain or pain, to achieve physical, mental and emotional relaxation.
Private
Sometimes if we are starting something new or after a little more care, a private lesson can be the answer
