The heat provides a safer working environment to release tension in the body. Especially great for people working with injuries and ailments.

Yoga is for everyone and at LANO we want to make sure no one is missing out. ‘Gentle’ is a class specifically designed for those students who want to move slow and mindfully.  Poses are broken down so that they are safe and accessible.  It is great class for those working with specific injuries.

 

This idea of this class is in the name, no one style of movement modality or discipline but instead a broad incorporation of many. Expect to explore strength, fluidity, mobility, coordination, stillness, breath-work and more. Using these components as nourishment, we will move towards creating a mind and body that is adaptive; able to navigate not only controlled, organised and planned movements or situations, but also the variable and unpredictable. This approach offers a variety of benefits from learning to embrace play and rediscovering patterns of movement forgotten from childhood, to improving your ability to problem solve, to better protecting the body from injury. Above all else, this class will embrace exploration – going beyond ideas of ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ ways to move and prioritising a continual process of trial, error and discovery.
