Post-workout stretches

Elongate muscles, release tightness and increase mobility with this relaxed-paced stretch class. Perfect for anyone looking to counteract the tensions created by sitting at a desk all day, balance the effects of high intensity fitness training, or wanting to improve their posture and prevent injury; this session focuses on improving muscle length and releasing myofascial (connective tissue around the muscles) tension and tightness to increase mobility in your lower body (hamstrings, glutes, quads, ankles and feet). With a series of slow, held stretches this class is ideal post-workout, as stretching when warm is the most beneficial. This video can also be used as a stand-alone session first thing in the morning or last thing before bed.

Class 3: Hip Opening Stretch

Lotti

This lower body stretch is great for maintaining or increasing mobility, improving posture and releasing muscle tightness. Focusing on your pelvic area (hip flexors, inner thigh) this series of held stretches will lengthen your muscles and release myofascial tension, to help improve both mobility and posture, and prevent lower back injury. This class is a perfect hip release for runners and cyclists, anyone who does a lot of high intensity exercise, and those who sit at a desk all day. As stretching when warm is most beneficial this class is ideal post-workout, but can also be used as a stand-alone session first thing in the morning or last thing before bed.

Class 4: Upper Body Stretch

Lotti

Improve the mobility of your spine, improve your posture and help prevent injury with this upper body stretch. Focusing on the shoulders, back, neck and chest, this series of held stretches work together to open your shoulders, maintain and increase spinal mobility, improve posture, and prevent injury by lengthening your muscles and releasing myofascial tension. This class is the perfect counterbalance to activities that typically cause tightness in the upper body: strength training, calisthenics, cycling, running, and sitting at a desk for long periods. It’s ideal to do post-workout when the body is warmed up, but can also be done as a stand-alone session first thing in the morning or last thing before bed.

Energising Morning Flows

Jules

Our Energising Morning Flows are a series of quick classes to get you moving, wake up your body, build heat, and leave you feeling invigorated and ready to take on the day. Each short flow is a low impact workout for the entire body that builds strength and flexibility; helping you grow whole body awareness and develop a moving meditation through breath and movement. In each class we move dynamically and functionally through postures and stretches, using your bodyweight and shorter holds to strengthen and tone, and core work to build strength and heat in the body. Suitable for all, the classes grow progressively more advanced to create a challenging series for beginner and experienced yogi alike. This low impact series is short and effective, and requires only a yoga mat, making it easy to fit around your schedule. Although ideally practiced first thing, the classes are beneficial practiced at any time of day, and in any order.
