Whatever class you choose, our teachers offer you personal one-on-one attention. You will benefit from classes that cover the spectrum from dynamic flowing postures to relaxation and restorative yoga. Classes usually have no more than 10 to 12 students so that your individual needs can be met.

Every keen student of yoga aspires to develop their own practice ability. The Led Practice class is an ideal step whereby you can practice with John the previous week's sequence with a minimum of instruction. This will give you the time & space to work more efficiently with your mind, body & breath & consolidate the week of classes.

The Special Needs Class was created to help those who are struggling in or can no longer attend General Classes. Those with injury, illness, chronic complaints (arthritis, fatigue, menopause, depression, insomnia, asthma) or even general stiffness, would benefit from a Special Needs Class. This could be in an addition to your general class attendance. John conducts the class (maximum 5 students). The procedure is an initial 1 hr consultation with John to design your 'personal practice' (active, passive & supported). In class the student is guided through their personal sequence until familiar, then that sequence is practiced each week. John monitors & adjusts your practice with progress. Attendance is a minimum of 5 weeks as consistency is the key to results.

Private Sessions
The advantage of having a private sessions is generally not well understood. Occasionally in every student’s practice they will come up against a challenge, either physical or mental, that needs more time than a teacher can devote in a class situation. The advantage of a private sessions is that it can help students overcome fears, injuries, and physical restrictions. All teachers at Simply Yoga are available for private sessions on either an ad hoc or regular basis.
