The way we move has changed. We run, lift, cycle, do pilates, play sports, train for races and sometimes just need an hour to undo everything our bodies have been through that week. Yoga Movement has always believed that yoga doesn't have to be the only way you move. It should be something that works alongside everything else you do.
So we're changing with you.
From 14 September, we're introducing the all-new Yoga Movement line-up: eight new ways to move, each with a clearer purpose and a better understanding of what you might need from your time on the mat. Whether you're completely new to yoga, looking to build strength and mobility, want a harder training day, or simply need to recover from everything else you're doing, there's a class for it.
The New YM Line-Up
BASE is where everyone starts and where the best keeps returning. Foundational poses are held for 3-5 breaths, using blocks for optimal alignment. Learn what each pose strengthens and stretches, while building endurance and flexibility. Perfect for newbies and experienced yogis looking to refine their practice, strengthen foundation and learn how their body moves.
FLOW : PACE takes those foundations in Base and links them into a seamless flow. With 2-3 breaths in each posture, find more ease, control and mobility in your flow. Vinyasas are also introduced in Flow : Pace with multi-level options to suit your practice. Perfect for those looking to move with more intention, breath and body awareness.
FLOW : BUILD is where you start putting the pieces together. Work towards a peak pose or transition by breaking it down and rebuilding it across the hour. You’ll work on the strength, balance and mobility needed to enter complex shapes. Flow : Build bridges Pace and Power, giving you the same unhurried flow in Pace but with a harder finish.
FLOW : POWER turns up the intensity. Move continuously through creative sequences, with more challenging variations, arm balances or inversions woven in to test your strength, stamina and focus. Perfect for those already with some flow experience and are looking to push the limits.
RESET is your invitation to slow down. Think recovery, release and giving your body the space it needs to keep moving well. Long, supported holds of 3-5 minutes while seated or lying down are introduced, with blocks and straps for support. Perfect for those looking for a deep stretch to ease tight muscles and release tension.
MOBILITY gets into the places that need a little more attention. Blending breath work with dynamic movement and targeted stretches to increase your strength and active range of motion, you’ll work through cycles of movement. Perfect for runners, athletes or anyone who wants to move a little better everyday.
HOT METHOD keeps things intentionally consistent. A fixed 26-posture sequence in a heated room gives you the chance to focus on your body, track your progress and see what changes over time. There are also no weights bearing on the hands or wrists.
Class #8...Coming Soon
We said eight new ways to move, and we meant it. But we're keeping the final addition to our Beyond line-up under wraps for just a little longer. You'll meet number eight soon but for now, consider it one more reason to keep an eye on us.
