Gentle Yoga is a great introduction to a Mat-based class. It is gentle, slow and easy with options to progress to more challenging variations. You will experience a combination of standing and mat postures throughout class.
I provide pose options and modifications with the use of props. This class is great for Yogis who want to gain a deeper knowledge of poses or Chair Yoga students who may be looking to experience more.

This Vinyasa flow yoga class has no set sequence of poses, as it is not confined to any particular tradition. You can expect creative and energizing sequencing either targeting certain areas of the body, focusing on different themes or helping to build certain abilities, such as strength, flexibility or balance.
Class begins with gentler movements to warm up the body, then moves into progressively more challenging flowing sequences. These may include standing poses, balances, inversions and peak poses. The classes tend to end with slower, deeper stretches, and often floor-based asana practice.
Every class at Gypsy Rising will offer modifications for every level and will offer props for support.

Rediscover feel-good movement in Chair Yoga. Chair Yoga is an accessible and gentle form of Yoga in which students use a chair to support their bodies in various modified poses to bring stability to the body.
Regardless of age, injury or limitations this can be a fruitful practice. We spend time working on posture, opening up our shoulders, and relaxing our neck with the aim of feeling good!
