In person and online

 

 

Oadby Yoga would like to welcome you to our purpose built Yoga studio From here we teach all of our classes, group, on line, 1:1 and small private classes (up to 4 people).

 

1:1 and private classes can be tailored to your own requirements making it an ideal way to complement other sports or activities, ie running, gym, swimming, football, martial arts etc.

Our aim is to provide friendly tuition, suitable for all ages, levels of fitness and ability.  We specialise in Beginners' Yoga as well as helping those who have been practicing Yoga for a while who would like to deepen their practice, and always with an emphasis on correct alignment and breathing.

 

By limiting the number of students in each class you are guaranteed our complete attention providing you with a safe, productive and enjoyable Yoga experience whether you are online or in person

Throughout your practice you will be introduced to new, interesting and fun ways to get fit, stay healthy, mobile and strong.

Online Classes

Why choose Yoga?
Our Yoga is not just another exercise.
Without doubt postures performed correctly will tone, strengthen and make your body stronger and more flexible, we call this 'functional mobility'
But Yoga is much more than this, our Yoga is a mindset, a connection to the moment, awareness of the breath and
the union of the mind and body, this all helps with stress management and teaching us how to slow down and tune in
Oadby Yoga is far more about the journey rather than the destination.
Take some time for yourself, focus, let go and just be.

   Beginners Hatha Yoga   60 Minutes

Perfect for total beginners and suitable for anyone looking to learn or revisit the fundamentals of Yoga.  We will practice basic Yoga postures (asanas). The emphasis of these classes is on the teaching of the connection of breath, mind and body.

Our classes always start with a period of grounding, gentle breathing exercises and stretching, allowing the body to warm up naturally. You will learn the Classical Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar C)  an important foundational sequence in yoga that will energize and warm you up. It will also stretch your entire body while strengthening your arms, shoulders, and legs and core.  Once the body is warm we will continue by looking at some of the more common asanas by breaking them down, allowing us to understand the connection of physical alignment and the use of the breath. Finally, ending our practice by lying down onto our mats and spending a little time time in our final relaxation (Savasana)


Hatha Yoga   60 and 90 minutes

For those who have been practicing Yoga for a while and would like to move to a more free flowing class

Using the experience and knowledge they have gained, students in this class continue to work on deepening their practice while increasing their strength, stamina and flexibility

Dynamic Flow & Power Yoga 90 minutes

For those who would like to progress and to increase their strength and fitness through their practice. These classes start with grounding, mindfulness and pranayama (breath work), before moving on to  Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskara A and B and C)

Though continuing in the vinyasa flow style, we will also spend time working into some of the more challenging

seated and standing asanas.   As in the other classes, we will finish the class by spending some time in our final relaxation.

(Wednesday power yoga class is a little more advanced than the Monday class)
