At Tidy Temple Yoga we teach a variety of yoga styles.  Our primary focus from 2016 are vinyasa based “Yoga Flow” inspired by the Baptiste Yoga methodology of self leadership and empowerment and “YogaBasics” – both stemming from the traditions of Iyengar yoga and Ashtanga yoga. We offer a total class experience incorporating physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), meditation (pratyahara, dharana, dhyana), relaxation (savasana, yoga nidra) & philosophy. We aim to connect with people, build community and teach from intuition and authenticity.

Pilates

At Lucas Studios we offer the whole gambit of Pilates options in Small Group classes or One on One private sessions:

• REFORMER;
• MAT;
• PRE-NATAL;
• CIRCUIT (multi equipment); and
• REMEDIAL.

Stretch and Relax 

Stretch & Relax is a Dynamic Stretch class with flowing movement, targeting all those tight spots including neck, shoulders, back, glutes, hamstrings and calves.

Often we complete the class with a meditative relaxation segment so you leave feeling released and calm.

Vinyasa Yoga 

Vinyasa is sequential movement interlinking postures to form a continuous flow.

It creates a movement meditation that reveals all forms as being impermanent and for this reason are not held on to. A flowing, dynamic form of yoga, connected to breath.

Why yoga?

Yoga is for everyone, for fitness, fun and flexibility, without competition or any feelings of intimidation, and in today’s hectic world, we need yoga to bring balance to our lives.

Yoga is not just for the super flexible, it builds strength, cardio vascular fitness, and of course develops balance. But it is more than just exercise, it is the combination of movement, breath and the mind, the perfect trilogy for staying fit and healthy in today’s hectic world.

What makes Balanced Yoga so special?

Our studio is not a gym, but a peaceful, comfortable and open space, designed to provide the perfect setting for you to strengthen your muscles, stretch, relax and escape from the outside world.

Yoga for Beginners

If you are new to yoga or returning from a break, or perhaps you just want to make sure you are doing things correctly, then yes, we do run beginners courses.

Modern Pilates can be experienced in two forms; each offers different presentations and outcomes:

Studio Equipment – Based Sessions

• Designed for each individual, can adapt each session, all levels can work togetherCan be individual (private) or up to four participants with the one trainer (semi-private)
• Involving some matwork and specialized spring loaded resistance equipment
• Enabling each participant to achieve their particular physical goals and balance of body

Matwork Classes

• Small groups of up to 10 participants
• Classes grouped by Pilates training levels (Introductory through to Late Intermediate)
• Classes flow, working the entire body, using the entire body
• No impact on body, so perfect for a wide range of body types and conditions
• Working through a broad range of exercises on the floor including working with specialised small equipment

Pilates is a great way to improve overall body awareness, posture, flexibility, balance and muscle control. It assists the body to learn how to move freely and efficiently during daily activities, occupation and sports.
