What is Zen Yoga?

Zen Yoga brings together gentle Hatha-inspired yoga, mindful breathing, meditation, a face and neck Gua Sha ritual.

We pay particular attention to healthy body alignment and strengthening the deeper muscle groups that support stability, posture, and balanced movement.

The Gua Sha ritual is an integral part of every class. Using gentle, intentional movements with a smooth stone tool, we work across the face and neck to release tension, encourage circulation, and support the skin’s natural glow.

Exercises are delivered through a combination of standing, seated, and floor-based postures. Movements are performed at a slower pace, allowing you to develop greater awareness of alignment, posture, and the way your body moves.

Breathwork is an integral part of each practice. By coordinating gentle movements with slow, steady breathing, you can develop a deeper connection between breath and body.

At Zen Yoga classes, props such as yoga blocks, ropes, cushions, and weights are used to support and enhance your practice.

Whether you are new to yoga and mindful movement or looking to complement an existing exercise routine, Zen Yoga provides a supportive environment in which to explore movement, breath, and wellbeing at your own pace.
