Core, Dunbar

Starting next Sunday 6th September with Sonny, this 90 min Sunday evening yin/restorative yoga class includes elements of Yin yoga and restorative yoga to allow you to rest, relax and release tension in the body and mind. Yin Yoga is a restful and meditative practice that invites you to slow down, soften, and turn inward, with postures held for longer periods, allowing the body to gently release tension and work into the fascia (the deeper connective tissues) improving flexibility and supporting joint health. Restorative yoga generally uses bolsters and blankets to support the body in long held stretches which aim to create a feeling of deep rest. Combining Yin and restorative yoga, this quiet, floor-based practice is complemented by mindful breathing and stillness, helping to calm the nervous system and create a sense of balance in both body and mind. Unlike more dynamic styles of yoga, this class invites us to be still and cultivate patience. Holding postures for longer can bring sensations that challenge us to soften rather than resist. Through conscious breathing and relaxation, we learn to become comfortable with stillness, allowing both body and mind to gradually release and open. Our Yin/restorative yoga offers space to pause, unwind, and simply be - leaving you feeling grounded, relaxed, and restored. Suitable for all levels, including beginners.

Starting this week…Rise & Shine yoga with Vanessa on Wednesdays 7-8am. Start the day with this peaceful class; a session that will boost your energy and calm your mind, leaving you feeling energised and ready for the day ahead. Starting with a grounding breathwork (pranayama) practice to cleanse and strengthen your body, before moving through sun salutations and other dynamic Ashtanga postures, finishing up with meditation and/or relaxation.

This class is great for beginners and anyone with yoga experience too. You don’t need to be super fit or flexible - there’ll be options to suit you, whatever your age and fitness level, and wherever you’re at in your yoga journey. The only thing you’ll need is to be able to get up and down from your mat comfortably. Book at www.bookwhen.com/peacefullifeyoga

This week sees the return to school in East Lothian and it’s definitely getting darker sooner in the evenings so summer is on the way out. This often brings a sense of getting ready to get into routine again. If that’s how you’re feeling then maybe block booking a Pilates or yoga class would fit in for you. Block booking is available for our 8 week August to October block (£76, w/c 17th August to w/c 5th October) which means you know you have a space in your chosen class each week and don’t need to book online.
