Explore the use of sound – if you’re interested in trying something new and would like to expand your yoga experience with the use of sound, then we are collecting names to start a beginners chanting class in early February, you don’t need to be able to sing!! Come and learn the basic notes and start with small sounds and chants while having fun too!

A Gentle class for Seniors on Friday mornings is starting Feb 9th that aims to keep strength in the muscles that support you, to uplift the energetic system while keeping the mind active but relaxed.
