Slow Flow - Online
with Nicola Brimson

Join us on Tuesday evenings for Slow Flow, a class designed to help you transition smoothly into the rest of your week with a sense of balance, strength, and nourishment. This class invites you to move mindfully through a sequence of yoga postures at a slower pace, allowing ample time to explore each pose and connect with your breath.

We begin with a gentle breathing practice to ground and centre, followed by a warm-up to awaken the body. The sequence gradually builds in intensity with poses that promote strength and stability, finishing with restorative postures and a deeply relaxing 10-minute guided savasana. This approach reflects the yogic principle of Ahimsa, or non-harming, encouraging you to honour your body’s needs and limits with compassion and awareness.

Scientific evidence suggests that slower-paced yoga practices can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which supports relaxation and recovery, reduces stress, and promotes overall well-being (Harvard Health Publishing). The mindful movement and breathwork in this class also align with the principles of Vinyasa Krama, a yogic philosophy that emphasizes the importance of sequencing and adapting poses to meet each individual’s needs.

Slow Flow is suitable for all levels, offering variations to meet you where you are, whether you’re new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice. The class integrates mindfulness, flexibility, and strength-building elements, along with breathwork and meditation, creating a holistic practice that nourishes both body and mind.

You are invited to move at your own pace, with the freedom to adjust and explore poses in a way that feels supportive for you. As always, our focus is on creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space where you can connect with yourself, find your inner strength, and carry that sense of calm and resilience with you through the rest of the week.
