Slow your body Slow your breath Slow your mind When we slow down we give ourselves the opportunity to rejuvenate, to recharge and to harness our own life force energy or “Qi”. As we move towards winter we begin to turn inwards and connect to the power of Yin, the power of Water and the power of finding our own slow flow. In this 6 week course we will explore Qigong movements, meditations and breathwork practices to support this slowing down, giving us the space to connect to our Qi, to our subtle energy, giving us the tools to feel stronger, calmer and full of vitality. In Traditional Chinese Medicine we are entering the water phase of winter. The water element relates to the organs of the bladder and kidneys, our bones, our ears and our sense of hearing. The meridians of Kidney and Bladder run along our spine and the back of the body and when they are flowing well we feel supported by life, grounded and connected to the world around us. We can find our inner flow with ease, without effort or strain, enabling us to let go of our fears and move forward with courage. Qigong teaches us to come back to our bodies, to come back home, to a place of belonging that is inside all of us, a place of stillness in our the centre. Where we can better navigate life’s uncertainties with greater balance, ease, and steadiness.

This class is ideal for those who enjoy a more active yoga style and want to cultivate both physical and mental resilience. While modifications are offered, some familiarity with basic yoga poses is helpful. Missy is a yoga teacher who specialises in Vinyaysa flow. Her passion for yoga began when she practised on a weekly basis while studying her acting degree at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. She returned to yoga in a bigger way when she started running marathon races in 2023 as it helped with her post run recovery. While reconnecting with yoga she found a new passion for the philosophy aspect, and discovered that The 8 Limbed Path of Yoga and Sutra 2.1 has been incredible for the soul and has realigned her with her life purpose. The introduction to Chakra healing has also been a calming and peaceful addition to her life. With a brand new love of yoga and its lifestyle benefits, Missy studied her 200 hour yoga teacher training to hopefully help others. Her mission is for her students to leave her class feeling a ‘new sense of being’ or ‘self power’ as she believes there is so much opportunity in this world and yoga gives us the self belief, motivation and mindset to grab life with both hands.

My name is Stephen, and I have been practicing yoga consistently for the past five years. Throughout this journey, I have experienced firsthand the incredible benefits yoga offers in various areas, including physical fitness, overall health, mental well-being, flexibility, balance, and breathing. Yoga has not only transformed my body but has also helped bring a sense of calm and clarity to my mind, helping me navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and resilience. In my classes, I aim to share this transformative practice with others through a vinyasa-style flow that emphasizes connecting breath to movement. Vinyasa yoga is dynamic, creative, and adaptable, allowing practitioners of all levels to explore their bodies and minds in a way that feels both safe and challenging. My approach focuses on mindful movement and alignment, ensuring that each posture is accessible yet encourages growth. Whether you are looking to build strength, improve flexibility, reduce stress, or simply take a moment for yourself, my classes are designed to offer something for everyone. Together, we will flow through sequences that are thoughtfully structured to engage your entire body while promoting mental relaxation and inner peace. I believe yoga should be both enjoyable and rewarding. My hope is to create a welcoming and supportive space where you can explore your practice, deepen your connection to yourself, and discover the many benefits that yoga can bring to your life.
