Welcome to Your Yoga Den in Northumberland
Yoga Classes in Morpeth
Vinyasa and Hatha Flow
To flow, is to move with intention and exploration. We move slowly and also dynamically depending on the type of practise.
The physical practise of yoga is ‘asana’, the physical pose.
In flow classes we move between the asanas using the breath.
Classes concentrate on strength, alignment, movement and breath.
Flow classes are great for people with a busy mind who need focus.
We offer gentle flow, hatha flow and vinyasa classes at Yoga Den.
Yin Yoga
A slow, gentle form of Yoga. Yin and Yang takes the form of feminine and masculine, yin being more gentle and yang Yoga (vinyasa) more powerful, focussing on strength. Being slower in pace, it is said Yin Yoga is more relaxing, and can calm the mind quicker. Rather than putting emphasis on the muscles, in Yin we put stress on the connective tissues in the joints which can in time increase flexibility. In flow classes we hold each posture from 30 seconds up to one minute moving into a vinyasa. In Yin yoga postures can be held for up to 7 minutes, however these postures are not balancing, and props such as bolsters and straps are used for comfort and ease.
This is great for anyone wanting the calm the mind, relax and stretch out the body after being sat at a desk all day.
No experience is needed to attend this class.
Yin Yang Yoga
Just as it says Yin Yang is a mix of both powerful vinyasa and slow Yin yoga. Classes begin with pranayama, gentle stretching, and a flow of Yoga postures (vinyasa), the second part of class will move into Yin and holding postures for longer periods of time to increase flexibility.
Great for anyone who doesn’t know which style to choose, and a great session for beginners.
Ashtanga Yoga
The Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga method is a traditional, dynamic style of yoga which follows a set sequence of postures. Ashtanga works with the breath to develop flexibility and whole body strength. These classes will follow a modified version of the Ashtanga Primary Series. As you flow with the breath and become more familiar with the set sequence you will find yourself deepening into postures, experiencing Ashtanga yoga as a moving meditation.
We welcome all levels at Ashtanga.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga, sometimes known as sleep yoga is very gentle, consisting of 5-7 postures that are held from 5 – 15 minutes. Using bolsters, straps, blocks and sometimes blankets, you can expect to feel completely relaxed and get a great night’s sleep afterwards. Restorative classes are 75 minutes long, for the body to evoke the relaxation response, which is the opposite of our natural state of fight or flight mode. We burn candles and incense during the class, and keep the lights off so that everyone can feel at ease, centred and most of all relaxed.
Pilates
Pilates is a method of exercise that consists of low impact flexibility, muscular strength and endurance movements. Pilates emphasises proper postural alignment, core strength and muscle balance.
This class is for all levels with master Pilates instructor, Rachel.
Chair Yoga
Chair yoga is suitable for anyone of all ages and levels.
The class consists of small movements, working with joint mobility and stability. Its great for anyone feeling stiff or fatigued, and perfect to help with specific injuries.
As with all of our classes at Yoga Den, breathwork, movement and meditation is incorporated.
Pregnancy Yoga
This is suitable for anyone in their second or third trimester.
You don’t have to be flexible or have any prior yoga experience. The aim of prenatal yoga is to connect with your baby, build strength and stamina in preparation for labour and motherhood, and establish relationships with other mums on the journey with you.
All new clients will also receive a little goodie bag at the first class.
