Yoga energises the body, helps to increase flexibility and relax the mind. We offer small group yoga classes of up to 6 and 1:1 in person yoga. We currently offer Vinyasa, Restorative Slow Flow as well Pre and Postnatal yoga.
At Wandsworth Physiotherapy, our Yoga teachers adapt each of the yoga sessions to our audience so that we can best serve those who join us on the mat. However, during a typical yoga session with one of our team you can expect to start with relaxing meditation and gentle warm up before moving onto more dynamic flows and asanas. During your Yoga session you can relax and enjoy as you begin to open up, feeling supported and guided by a gentle and adaptive approach. We sometimes incorporate breath work and massage into a session and always like to end with a nice relaxing shavasana to leave you feeling calm and well connected with your body.

Our Yoga instructors teach a mix of asana, pranayama, meditation and relaxation, with a strong focus on vinyasa flow, mind â body connection, restorative and Yin Yoga.
Vinyasa creates a meditative flow, focusing and calming the mind while bringing our awareness to the breath / body. The postures vary from simple to challenging, encouraging the body to gradually open and strengthen. Itâs a relatively dynamic practice that builds up internal heat that creates purification on many levels and spontaneously leads to subtle physical, emotional, mental and spiritual transformation. All levels are welcome.
Yin yoga targets the connective tissues, such as ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice. Yin yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. During a Yin practice we can find more clarity, stillness, and inner peace. We learn to be more patient; we learn to observe our body and allow ourselves to drop into the body. Physically we hold simple shapes from 3-5 minutes and allow the muscles around the target area to relax.
