The styles we currently offer are Hatha, Vinyasa, Pre-Natal and Yin.  You will find a brief explanation of each below and even better, why not try both and see which  you like best.

 

We  have vacancies on most of our classes and you can book on line - or if you prefer telephone 0161 764 1440 or email yoga@mindandbodybury.co.uk to book

	Hatha is a traditional style of Yoga which is a good mixture of standing,  balancing, mat postures, flows,  breathing, meditation and relaxation.  The underlying aim of Hatha Yoga is to balance Body, Mind and Emotions.   It is a great way to develop flexibility, suppleness and strength and improve the efficiency of your breathing.  Regular practice helps you develop a calmer outlook on life.  Classes vary from week to week.
	Yin  is a great complementary style for those already practising yoga - it allows the soft tissure in and around the muscles and in joints including the spine to gently stretch for longer to aid comfort and flexibility .  It is also a very calming and relaxing style.  There are variations in pose to suit all anatomies - yin is evolving so no longer just a complementary style it is becoming a style in its own right.
	Vinyasa is a style of yoga that moves from one posture to another.  Often called flow yoga.  It is suitable for yogis with some experience and is an invigorating and energising style
	Pre-natal Yoga  Yoga can help women get through their pregnancy with minimal discomfort. It also helps the birth and post-delivery stages. Yoga classes help to boost circulation and also help with fluid retention. The stretching exercises relieve aches and pains. Posture is also improved by yoga and this can help ease back problems, which are common in pregnant women. Yoga helps to prepare for the birth - it encourages breath and body awareness, reduces worry and teaches women to adapt to new situations. And yoga continues to have benefits after pregnancy, too. Postnatal yoga, which can be started about six weeks after the birth, strengthens abdominal muscles and your pelvic floor. It also helps you to get back to your pre-pregnancy shape faster.
	Beginners Hatha 4 times a year (subject to sufficient demand) we run a 5 week introduction to Yoga for complete beginners. This course will demonstrate some of the basics of yoga and some of the more popular posturing.  Some people feel this gives them a little more confidence when moving on to a regular class.  In between these courses many of our classes are suitable for beginners with a reasonable range of movement.

Not sure which class style is for you?  If you go to our booking calendar you will find an indication as to the level of practice suitable for that class i.e. Beginners+, Moderate experience, Advanced.  Just look in the toolbar at the top right of the classes booking screen.  Select the level yu want and only those classes will show. 

 

 

Equipment - no need to bring your own mats or blankets we have a supply in the studio, although you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.  If you are coming regularly you may choose to build up some oth er equipment like bolsters, blocks etc (which we sell) although there are many people in the classes who do not have lots of equipment and we can improvise. Some people prefer to use specialised yoga towels to cover the mats and help with slipping but it is not essential.

What to Wear - nothing special - just loose fitting trousers and a comfortable T shirt will be fine.  If you want to wear specialised yoga gear that's fine too. Everyone is welcome to our classes and workshops whether they attend another class but want the extra practise at the weekend or are attending one of our classes during the holidays when their regular class is closed. Attending our classes  You do not have to attend the same class each week and can mix and match.

Feedback

 I really enjoyed the class- please thank Barry for me -& I slept really well which is novel.  Can't wait for next week.

I spent £1000+ and about 18 months at the chiropractic because I had a painful lower back. I was advised by her not to do Yoga. It didn't improve much and I decided to come try Yin Yoga instead and over a period my back was completely better and stayed better. It's over two years since I have been to Barrys class and I am now beginning to get some twinges that tell me it is coming back. I need to find a local Yoga class with a teacher like Barry, to get on top of it before it gets bad (I've moved from Bury) but just want to thank Barry and to say that it would have saved me a lot of money to just do Yoga in the first place. I think the chiropractic was right though in that some Yoga classes would have been bad for my back but Barry is very skilled and encourages you to be careful and self-aware. So if you have a bad back i hope this help you feel confident to join one of Barry's classes. Thanks Barry. (A. L.)

Thankyou - from Scotland - for the yoga Friday and the laughter workshop
Sunday. The "Inner Smile" seems to have settled in and is having a good
holistic effect! Hope to see you again sometime - best wishes Abi

I loved the Yin Yoga and the fantastic atmosphere in your studio
