Hart Yoga Beginners Flow
We work with a mixture of flowing and static postures.

All classes end with ‘pranayama’ (breath work) and guided relaxation. Therefore, leaving a feeling of balance and peace.

Yoga with Tanya
Tanya has been teaching yoga for over 10 years. ‘Scaravelli’ yoga is a clever approach where movement begins to feel lighter and easier as the body learns to move more freely and efficiently. The sessions are suitable for everyone and are particularly good for people with joint problems, back problems or health conditions such as fibromyalgia. In addition, it can help you regain health after surgery or invasive treatments including those for cancer.
