Our philosophy in Yoga and Mindfulness
At Vitality House, we incorporate various modalities in mindfulness and pride ourselves on remaining open-minded. We feel Yoga must be adapted to the individual's changing needs, with an emphasis on the use of breath in asana, the relationship of asana to pranayama and the relationship of asana/pranayama to meditation, and to life (Mark Whitwell).
By directing attention away from the distractions of the outer world, mindfulness allows us to focus on our inner journey. This may be through yoga, meditation, breathwork or sound healing, each with an equal emphasis on the individual and their experience.
Vinyasa Yoga (warmed)
Vinyasa is our staple yoga practice, a combination of asana, pranayama, and meditation taught in a dynamic sequence of postures. Vinyasa Yoga involves a continuous flow of breath and body movement allowing for a deep-moving meditative practice. This class promotes an inner connection, expression, and flow and is suitable for all levels, no matter the experience.
Slow Flow Yoga (warmed)
Our slow flow yoga combines asana, pranayama and meditation through a sequence of postures. This is a gentle class that embraces balance and typically practiced slower than a vinyasa class with longer static postures. A class to allow you to enjoy the postures, stretch the body and focus on breath.
Breathwork
Our breathwork classes combine the ancient tradition of pranayama and scientific breathing techniques that support vitality. On a physical level, breathwork utilises and strengthens the whole range of respiratory organs through exploring the lower, middle and upper parts of the breath through inhalation, retention and exhalation. Through a regular breathwork practice, we are able to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, countering the stimulation overload our bodies endure through our fight or flight response, entering a rest and digest state.
Restorative Yin
A practice of complete relaxation. As you flow through guided restorative postures completely supported with props you will have the opportunity to release tension from your body and mind. Immerse yourself in the gentle ebb and flow of each breath, fostering a deep connection with the subtle sensations that permeate your being.
Yoga & Breath
A unique practice of breathwork and flow yoga. This practice will involve breathwork patterns and pranayama techniques, connecting to the pranic/energy bodies. The flow yoga will further enhance this connection, moving the body purposefully, slowly and rhythmically in accordance with the breath. This connection of breath and movement will assist with deepening connection to physical and energy parts of self, with the intention of introspection and peace.
Mat Pilates
Mat Pilates is a low-impact, energetic, and strengthening workout designed to enhance your core strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness. This class focuses on controlled movements and precise techniques to build a strong foundation of stability and mobility. This class is slightly warmed with our infrared heaters.
Movement Studio
Our movement studio provides the incorporation of a functional fitness routine and places focus on recovery through mobility and stretching. Functional movement takes your joints through their full range of motion and engages the stabilising muscles which is important in preventing injury and bringing efficient and healthy movement back to the body. This boutique studio features all Technogym equipment, including free weights up to 30kg, TRX straps, cable machine, bands, balls, mobility sticks and foam rollers.
Cardio Fitness Room
Our cardio fitness studio features top of the range Technogym equipment, including exercise bikes, treadmills and rowers. The cardio equipment provides the opportunity to tune into live or on-demand content and track your workouts and progress through the MyWellness App.
