Friday Class: Just Breathe The quiet practice of rest, release and conscious breathwork. Join Michael for the transformative power of breathwork and deep rest as we unwind the body and quiet the mind. We’ll learn and explore bodywork, theraputics and assisting technique combined with restorative yoga postures. Saturday Class: Maha Vinyasa A complete Vinyasa Krama journey and Michael’s signature practice series. This practice weaves together breath, movement, meditation and the deeper wisdom of yoga, creating a practice that is both dynamic and deeply embodied. Accessible yet profound, Maha Vinyasa invites you to explore the relationship between effort, awareness and the art of moving with intention. The Great Unwind A slower, nourishing practice dedicated to the hips creating space to move, soften and let go. Move with intention and practice with purpose, come and enjoy longer-held postures that invite a little more ease and freedom into the body. This is a practice of opening without forcing, of listening rather than pushing, and of giving the body the time and space it needs to unwind. Come as you are. Leave with a little more space.

Somatic Yoga x Reiki – Feel. Trust. Shine: Somatic Yoga invites you to become more aware of your body through intuitive movement and, step by step, to find greater self-assurance. You’ll learn to move freely whilst remaining grounded in stability and presence by following your sensations, your truth and your body’s innate intelligence. Combined with Reiki, this creates a space for sensing, letting go and recharging. From this, self-confidence and your inner radiance can grow. ------------------------------------------- Yin Yoga & “Say YES to Yourself” Journaling: A combination of gentle Yin Yoga and journaling, inviting you to connect honestly with yourself and your truth. The longer-held asanas create space for clarity, reflection and inner alignment. “SAY YES TO YOURSELF” reminds you of your vitality and encourages you to consciously choose what brings joy to your heart and nourishes you.

The Grace of Letting Go - Subtitle: A Practice of Surrender, Transformation, and Opening the Heart: As nature softens into late autumn, the trees remind us of an ancient wisdom: release is not an ending, but a return. Every falling leaf creates space for new life to emerge. In this two-hour morning practice with Sandra, we will begin with a guided chakra meditation, creating a moment of stillness and inner connection. Through this meditation, we will awaken awareness, restore balance, and open the space within to receive the wisdom of the season. From this place of presence, we will move into a mindful and energizing yoga flow inspired by the rhythm of autumn, exploring the art of letting go: releasing expectations, old stories, tension, and whatever no longer serves us. Through breath, movement and conscious awareness, we will journey inward and discover the freedom that arises when we soften our grip and create space for transformation. Throughout the class, Sandra will offer hands-on yoga assists to support your practice, helping you deepen your experience with greater awareness, ease, and connection. As we welcome the quieter energy of the season, we will embrace change as a natural part of life, finding strength in surrender and wisdom in release. Come as you are. All practitioners are welcome.

Yin Yoga: We practise a well-rounded Yin Yoga sequence that addresses all the main meridians and gently brings the nervous system into a state of deep rest.

As we become still, both physically and internally, we come into contact with the essence of our being and the source of all existence. --------------------------------------------- Yoga Nidra: Yoga Nidra is a form of deep relaxation practised whilst lying down. Through various mental exercises, gentle pranayama and visualisations, we can let go completely, rest and regenerate.
