About the class

Move 360° around the mat in this dynamic, strengthening and grounding practice.

About the workshop

Mandala Yoga is a vinyasa based practice moving 360° around the mat in a layered and dynamic flow. It’s based on the elements; Earth, Water, Fire & Air, relating to different physical & energetic centres.

This practice incorporates slower, longer held Yin postures while taking inspiration from Ashtanga and Rocket. To finish we’ll take time to come back to our centre and end with a Savasana head massage.

In this workshop we’ll explore Fire Mandala. Lengthening the side body to find space through our twists, while energetically connecting to our Solar Plexus, Manipura chakra, to ignite that inner flame.

This workshop is open to everyone, but some yoga experience is helpful. Modifications will be offered to make the practice work for you.

** PRACTICAL BITS **

Due to the nature of the Crescent Bakery building, it's ideal to wear layers of clothing for cooler / warmer fluctuations.
