It is common for pelvic floor worries and troubles to cause significant anxiety through bladder or bowel control, lower back pain and many more symptoms. We will explore the pelvic floor through information, movement, breathwork and relaxation to give you mobility, strength, balance and confidence.

Stretch your mind as well as your body with a gentle, friendly course based around the Chakra system. ‘Chakra’ translates to ‘spinning wheel’ and it is this system of energetic wheels which hold the body’s energy. This course focuses on balancing and restoring our energy centres allowing Prana (lifeforce) to move through the body with ease and flow.

Each week we focus on a different Chakra systematically working through the system keeping us alive, healthy and vibrant.

A Chakra yoga practice is aimed at balancing the body, allowing our life-force (Prana/Chi/Energy) to freely flow. In this course Virginia offers a step-by-step method for creating balance in each chakra and the over-all body - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. We look at what may cause imbalances and blockages in the body and how, through breath-work (Pranayama), movement (Asana) and Meditation we can cultivate homeostasis in the body.

Friday evenings

During the Polo season yoga is offered to players/friends of players weekly after chukkas.

As well as the social element, stretches, strengthening, twists and balances targeted at muscles and areas of the body to condition and support the body for optimal play.

Mats and props are all provided.
