Yoga class styles
Our yoga classes at Inna Bliss are based around an intuitive, holistic and contemporary style of Vinyasa yoga, infusing alignment based instruction with flowing sequences & postures, inspired by a deep awareness of our breath & life force energy (prana). Additionally we offer a variety of classes and instructors to choose from catering for those newer to yoga to those with a more experienced practice. We invite you to sample what we have on offer to see what best resonates with you. Enjoy!
Vinyasa
A flowing and invigorating practice that synchronises movement with the breath and creative sequences, designed to take you deeper in your body & mind. Within the flow of the Vinyasa class, we explore intelligent alignment of asanas and encourage you to build strength, discover freedom and feel rejuvenated, as well as deeply Blissed out!
Suitable for all levels, with variations and modifications offered to support newer students, whilst seasoned yogis will have the opportunity to explore depth in their practice.
Essentials
Our Beginner Yoga level class. This practice is one of a lower level of intensity, perfect for those who are new to yoga, recovering from an injury or simply wish to refresh the fundamentals. The class is taken at a slower pace with thorough instruction of the breath and correct alignment within the asanas (poses).
The class explores all of the key elements of Vinyasa flow yoga, in a safe & supportive environment. The best place to start for absolute yoga newbies!
Slow Flow
Taken at a slower pace then our Vinyasa classes, our Slow Flow classes offers a practice and pace that allows you to go deeper by moving mindfully and purposefully through the flow of the class. With longer holds, slower transitions and focused alignment we cultivate spaciousness with our bodies, minds & hearts. Open for all levels, beginners can experience a slower pace while seasoned yogis can enjoy moving mindfully and intelligently within their bodies & minds, whilst dipping deeper into the feeling tone of the practice.
Yang to Yin
A balanced practice that explores the complimentary forces of both yang and yin within our physical, emotional and energetic beings. The class starts with a flowing vinyasa practice to warm, open and strengthen body and mind, to ground you in the feeling tone of the present moment and connect you deeply to your breath.
For the second half of the practice we transition into a nourishing Yin, floor based practice. Here we consciously explore longer and deeper holds for stretching into the deeper connective tissue layers of the body, as we relax away tension, holding and grasping and surrender into a peaceful place where are nervous systems can receive the gentle nourishment they so deserve.
It's offers the perfect balance of Yang & Yin energies, leaving your feeling both invigorated & deeply renewed. Catered for all levels.
Yin
Yin Yoga is a slower, deeper & more passive approach to the yoga practice with a sequence of floor-based postures, usually held for 3-5 minutes.
Each posture invites you to move consciously and meditatively toward exploring your edge, whilst breathing gently and opening up to the sensations that arise in your body.
This deeply nourishing practice targets the deeper yin tissues of the body, including the joints, connective tissues and fascia in order to create more space and flexibility within the sketelal and muscular system. Energetically it seeks to free up internal blockages through our meridian lines to enable chi (our vital essence) to move freely through our bodies.
Yin yoga can be both deeply nourishing, particularly on our nervous systems, as well as challenging to our bodies and minds, and yet it offers the perfect balance to some of the more 'yang' based physical exercises and general way of living.
Candlelight
Flow
Candlelight flow is a sweet & meditative class with an deep emphasis on internalising the practice, as you connect with your body and move with your breath. This soulful flow practice gradually builds heat, strength & openness whilst allowing the mind to achieve deeper meditation, enhanced by the soft glow of warm candlelight.
The second half of the practice has a restorative emphasis and often includes deeper hip opening asanas & floor poses, as well as guided relaxation. Open to all levels.
Yin & Meditation
Our Yin and Meditation classes incorporate yin postures designed to open, relax and ground you before being guided deeper within through meditations and relaxations, and finishing with a sweet, long and peaceful savasana. Open to all levels of yoga and meditation experience.
Relax
Enjoy a nourishing & restorative practice to unwind and rejuvenate. This class focuses on breath work (pranayama), gentle restorative postures, meditation and guided relaxation all to encourage a deep settling of your nervous system, letting go and centering within body, mind and spirit. It is a divinely holistic class and perfect for those who are looking to slow down and savour some luxurious rest and replenishment, so beneficial for our nervous system and mental health.
The class encourages positive mind focus, a releasing of stress & anxiety so that you can walk away feeling refreshed, grounded and spacious in body and mind. Open to all.
Magic Hour Meditation
Reclaim and reboot yourself at the end of the week with a magical hour of meditation, restoration and relaxation. Meditation is about cherishing all the flavours of life and giving yourself the freedom and space to repair the natural wear-and-tear we all experience and to be revitalised as you connect to deeper joy and meaning. In this instinctive, individuality-honouring approach facilitated by Alison Potts, there is no forcing or blocking or uncomfortable sitting, no restricting of your dreamscape and no silencing or stilling of the mind. Instead, there is complete freedom to be yourself, to spread out, to allow all that matters to you to come forward naturally and all your energies to circulate in their healthy spontaneous flow. In just one hour, experience healing and vitality that will pulse in you long after the class is finished.
