This is a flow class - a class to awaken movement and rhythm in the body.
Elemental Hatha Yoga is a dynamic Yoga flow with a deep respect for the classical aspect of Yoga. Drawing on a fascination with ancient wisdoms, Victoria weaves elemental themes into her classes. This practice will reflect the season we are in and the energy of the day. Expect a blend of breathwork, strong asana practice with emphasis on different energy centres and their elemental correspondences.
This class is for all abilities with guidance and modifications given.

Flow Yoga refers to the styles of yoga characterized by stringing postures (asanas) together so that you move from one to another, seamlessly, with a big focus on your breath - your life force. In flow yoga styles you will feel the benefits of lengthening, twisting, balancing, bending, strengthening, reconnecting and revitalising your body and mind. There are several styles incorporated into flow yoga including Vinyasa, Hatha, Ashtanga and Dru yoga, each one it’s own sacred practice and offering something different for the yogi’s body, mind and spirit.
While yoga is an excellent way to keep your body healthy, mobile and strong (especially your core), it is so much more than a form of physical exercise.
The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit root “Yuj’ which means to join or unite, and in the old Hindu yogic scriptures the practice of yoga is seen as both a discipline and an art form that connects the individual consciousness with the universal consciousness, meaning we feel more in harmony in our own body-mind-spirit, and that we as human beings remember how connected we are to each other and to the rest of nature.
In a world where we see things in separate categories (body or mind, out-there or in-here, work or rest, them or us etc), that feeling of union is pretty amazing, even if it starts as just a feeling for a fleeting hour on the mat. Yoga is a wholeness practice, for every body and every mind, and that’s also why no one can be bad at it.
