SUMMARY:Yoga with Judy
DESCRIPTION:Join the Yoga with Judy class for your morning yoga fix! \nIn this class Judy Charlesworth guides you to move with your body and connect your mind and emotions along the way. Judy teaches yoga as the art of letting go – helping you lengthen muscles\, create space\, and move mindfully through Asanas. \nYoga invites you to love yourself just as you are – right now – with both your strengths and your challenges. For this reason\, Judy encourages you to take each Asana only as far as it feels right for your body. \nAs you begin\, warming up and moving with awareness\, your muscles gradually loosen\, and your flexibility naturally increases. However\, if you go too deep into a pose\, that’s okay – simply ease out\, take a breath\, and return to your safe edge. \nAt the same time\, keep listening to your body and stay curious about how it responds. After all\, acceptance and awareness go hand in hand in this practice. \nIn truth\, we all bring something different to the mat – maybe a past injury\, tight scar tissue\, or a body shape that affects movement. Whether it’s long arms\, short legs\, or a full bust\, yoga welcomes you exactly as you are\, without judgment. Ultimately\, Judy reminds you that yoga is about showing up honestly\, moving with care\, and working with what your body offers today. \n\nWHO IS THIS CLASS FOR?\nThis class will be enjoyable for beginners as well as people who have already started their yoga practice. This is the ideal class for people who want to work within any constraints their body may present. \nYOUR TUTOR:\nJudy Charlesworth has been with Uxbridge for over ten years and has been teaching for over eighteen years. She even has co-authored a yoga book in the 90s.\nReed more about Judy here. \n  \n\nPlease note:\n\nThere is NO refund or a transfer if you cancel less than 7 days in advance or once the class/workshop has started. Our refund policy can be read in full here.\nIf the tutor is unwell or unavailable to teach a single session\, often at short notice\, it is our preference to find a suitable relief teacher. If we are unable to do this then a session will be added at the end of the advertised course OR a credit voucher or refund for that session will be offered.\nCourse prices may vary slightly between terms depending on the number of sessions (e.g. Term 3 may have 9 sessions\, while Term 4 has 10).

SUMMARY:Yoga with Cherie
DESCRIPTION:Yoga is timeless: it has evolved over thousands of years and works on the physical\, mental\, and spiritual well-being of the person. Cherie leads a traditional Indian yoga class which incorporates postures\, breathing and deep relaxation techniques. \nDuring this course\, everyone will progress at their own pace and level in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Cherie strives to keep the class especially interesting and challenging and also encouraging each step of the way whatever level you want to work at. We welcome all levels of fitness. \nThere are several differences between Indian and western yoga practices. (Hatha) Indian yoga is treated as a lifelong journey of practice. In the western world\, Vinyasa yoga is often used for maintaining your health. Of course\, generally both Yoga styles help with this! \nWHAT IS HATHA YOGA?\nYou move your body slowly and deliberately flowing into different poses that will challenge your strength and flexibility while focusing on relaxing and mindfulness. Generally Hatha Yoga places emphasis on controlled breathing and posture and building core strength\, which is key to good posture. Poses are usually held for several breaths before you move onto the next. \nWHAT IS VINYASA YOGA?\nVinyasa is an approach to yoga in which you move from one pose directly into the next. It is flowing and the specific poses and pace of the flow is dependant on the teacher. Vinyasa moves from one pose to the next as the teacher guides and coordinates your breathing. Breath is very important. As you exhale or inhale it gives you the feeling that your breath is moving your body. \nIN A NUTSHELL – yoga is good for you!\nHatha and Vinyasa yoga incorporate many of the same poses. The main difference is the pacing of the classes. Vinyasa Yoga moves at a faster pace and requires greater breathing control. Hatha is done more slowly\, and poses are held for longer\, Hatha yoga allows for more stretching. Hatha and Vinyasa yoga share many of the same poses. In their own ways\, they each emphasize controlled\, conscious breathing to help you relax and improve your fitness. The biggest difference between them is the pace at which you change from one pose to the next. \nPlease note: \n\nThere is NO refund or a transfer if you cancel less than 7 days in advance or once the class/workshop has started. Our refund policy can be read in full here.\nIf the tutor is unwell or unavailable to teach a single session\, often at short notice\, it is our preference to find a suitable relief teacher. If we are unable to do this then a session will be added at the end of the advertised course OR a credit voucher or refund for that session will be offered.\nCourse prices may vary slightly between terms depending on the number of sessions (e.g. Term 3 may have 9 sessions\, while Term 4 has 10). This is usually due to public holidays or long weekends.

SUMMARY:Yoga - Restore Rest Renew
DESCRIPTION:Yoga – Restore Rest Renew \nThis nurturing course combines the slow\, mindful movement of Gentle Yoga with the deeply restorative practice of Yoga Nidra to help you unwind\, reconnect\, and restore balance in both body and mind. Throughout each session\, participants slow down\, breathe deeply\, and move freely without pressure\, judgement\, or comparison. \nFirst\, Gentle Yoga links breath with movement through slow flows\, supported stretches\, and longer-held postures that improve flexibility\, mobility\, posture\, and strength. Participants tune inward\, develop greater body awareness\, and build strength in a safe and supportive way. In addition\, classes include pranayama (breathwork) and restorative practices that encourage stillness\, calm\, and ease. \nThen\, the second half of the session introduces Yoga Nidra\, often called “yogic sleep\,” a guided meditation practice that encourages deep physical\, mental\, and emotional relaxation. Yoga Nidra welcomes everyone and requires no previous yoga or meditation experience. Through gentle guidance\, participants enter a restful state between waking and sleeping\, allowing the body to deeply relax while the mind resets and restores. \nHave we captured your attention yet? \nAs a result\, this course suits older adults\, beginners\, those returning to movement after injury or illness\, and anyone seeking a gentler\, more restorative approach to yoga. Furthermore\, the programme particularly supports people experiencing stress\, anxiety\, fatigue\, poor sleep\, or the ongoing demands of a busy life. \nExperienced tutor Juliet Slogrove\, a NZ Yoga Alliance registered teacher and accredited iRest® Yoga Nidra teacher\, leads the programme with warmth and compassion\, creating a welcoming environment where students can nurture mind\, body\, and spirit. \nWHAT TO BRING:\nPlease wear comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat\, cushion\, or eye cover if you wish. We provide blankets and bolsters to help you feel supported and relaxed throughout the session. image \nMEET YOUR TUTOR:\nJuliet Slogrove\, a registered NZ Yoga Alliance teacher with over 40 years of yoga teaching experience. Juliet believes yoga doesn’t change life’s circumstances\, but it does transform how we experience and respond to everyday challenges. In her words\, “Yoga helps us remember the joy of being\, even when life feels rushed\, heavy\, or overwhelming.” \nPlease note: \n\nThere is NO refund or a transfer if you cancel less than 7 days in advance or once the class/workshop has started. Our refund policy can be read in full here.\nIf the tutor is unwell or unavailable to teach a single session\, often at short notice\, it is our preference to find a suitable relief teacher. If we are unable to do this then a session will be added at the end of the advertised course OR a credit voucher or refund for that session will be offered.\nCourse prices may vary slightly between terms depending on the number of sessions (e.g. Term 3 may have 9 sessions\, while Term 4 has 10).

SUMMARY:Move to Know
DESCRIPTION:Move to Know – Contemporary & Somatic Movement for Adults \nMove to Know is a welcoming group movement class led by Celeste. Designed for adults who feel curious about movement\, body awareness\, and new ways of connecting with themselves through motion\, this class invites exploration in an accessible and supportive environment. No dance experience is required\, just a willingness to move\, explore\, and listen to your body. \nDrawing from both contemporary dance and somatic movement practices\, Move to Know encourages participants to develop awareness\, confidence\, and freedom in movement. Rather than focusing on performance\, we focus on curiosity\, sensation\, and discovery. Together\, we explore how the body moves\, senses\, adapts\, and responds. Through guided exercises and creative prompts\, participants gradually expand their movement. \nEach session begins standing with gentle warm-ups that improve mobility and awareness. From there\, we experiment with momentum\, balance\, coordination\, and weight shift. As your confidence grows\, we’ll move closer to the floor\, opening new movement while maintaining individual pacing. \nAs the course unfolds\, participants connect movement into short sequences inspired by contemporary dance principles. These movement phrases help transform the experience into something memorable and enjoyable. Rather than striving for perfect execution\, participants focus on personal experience and expression. \nUltimately\, Move to Know is not about learning choreography for performance or achieving a specific outcome. Instead\, it offers time and space to reconnect with the body\, expand movement possibilities\, and enjoy moving alongside others in a relaxed\, encouraging\, and non-judgemental environment. \nSuitable for adults with a general level of mobility. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely\, and come ready to explore\, move\, and discover what your body already knows. \nIMPORTANT NOTES: \n\nSome course prices can vary between terms depending on the number of sessions (e.g. Term 3 may have 9 sessions\, while Term 4 has 10). This is usually due to public holidays or long weekends.\nThere is NO refund or a transfer if you cancel less than 7 days in advance or once the class/workshop has started.

SUMMARY:Yoga with Judy
DESCRIPTION:Join the Yoga with Judy class for your morning yoga fix! \nIn this class Judy Charlesworth guides you to move with your body and connect your mind and emotions along the way. Judy teaches yoga as the art of letting go – helping you lengthen muscles\, create space\, and move mindfully through Asanas. \nYoga invites you to love yourself just as you are – right now – with both your strengths and your challenges. For this reason\, Judy encourages you to take each Asana only as far as it feels right for your body. \nAs you begin\, warming up and moving with awareness\, your muscles gradually loosen\, and your flexibility naturally increases. However\, if you go too deep into a pose\, that’s okay – simply ease out\, take a breath\, and return to your safe edge. \nAt the same time\, keep listening to your body and stay curious about how it responds. After all\, acceptance and awareness go hand in hand in this practice. \nIn truth\, we all bring something different to the mat – maybe a past injury\, tight scar tissue\, or a body shape that affects movement. Whether it’s long arms\, short legs\, or a full bust\, yoga welcomes you exactly as you are\, without judgment. Ultimately\, Judy reminds you that yoga is about showing up honestly\, moving with care\, and working with what your body offers today. \n\nWHO IS THIS CLASS FOR?\nThis class will be enjoyable for beginners as well as people who have already started their yoga practice. This is the ideal class for people who want to work within any constraints their body may present. \nYOUR TUTOR:\nJudy Charlesworth has been with Uxbridge for over ten years and has been teaching for over eighteen years. She even has co-authored a yoga book in the 90s.\nReed more about Judy here. \n  \n\nPlease note:\n\nThere is NO refund or a transfer if you cancel less than 7 days in advance or once the class/workshop has started. Our refund policy can be read in full here.\nIf the tutor is unwell or unavailable to teach a single session\, often at short notice\, it is our preference to find a suitable relief teacher. If we are unable to do this then a session will be added at the end of the advertised course OR a credit voucher or refund for that session will be offered.\nCourse prices may vary slightly between terms depending on the number of sessions (e.g. Term 3 may have 9 sessions\, while Term 4 has 10). This is usually due to public holidays or long weekends.
