Our Classes
yoga
There are many different styles of teaching yoga, but they all focus on the same postures (asanas) of which there are thousands so you’ll never get bored!
Our Beginners 8 week course is perfect for introducing you to all styles and postures, but there are other classes that welcome beginners. Hatha Yoga has a more gentle relaxing pace and covers postures, breathing and relaxation. Some classes focus much more on the alignment and precision in a posture, whilst Vinyasa has a more flowing and casual style using the Salute to the Sun as a basis for the sequences of poses, occasionally with music.
Hot Yoga
We also offer hot yoga classes in our FAR Infra-red studio, which has many health benefits as well as being a great way to open up inflexible areas and detoxify the body.
pilates
The Pilates Method is not just a series of exercises but a complete approach to developing body awareness. It concentrates on developing the strength of the core stability muscles and in doing so improves posture alignment. It is highly recommended for those with back injuries or postural issues.
tai chi
Tai Chi Chu'an is an ancient Chinese system of exercise, meditation and self-defence. With it's gentle and harmonious movements it is suitable for all ages and all levels of fitness. it enhances flexibility, respiration and balance, whilst utilising the internal power of the body for healing and meditation and self awareness. Our teacher Martin studies the 103 step Yang Style Tradition and has had first hand tuition from the Yang family from China.
Qi Gong
Qigong is an ancient movement practice and literally means ‘life energy cultivation’. Gentle, repeated flowing movements are used to smooth and harmonise the energetic flows of the body, resulting in a state of balance
and equilibrium. Repeated practice results in greater balance and health in all areas of life and helps us to meet stressful situations in a state of clarity and calm.
Qigong is very gentle and can be practised at any age and in any state of health.
mindfulnes meditation
Mindfulness is our Western take on Meditation, an ancient practice enabling us to quieten our "chattering monkey mind". Many studies have been carried out on the health benefits of Mindfulness or Meditation click here to read some
Our 6 week Course is in non-denominational mindfulness meditation and beginners are welcome. Mindfulness is one of the hottest topics in the field of mental health today, and regular sitting shows measurable benefits in brainwave patterns within only a couple of months.
yoga nidra relaxation
Yoga Nidra is a deep relaxation class. You start with some gentle stretches and then learn some breathing exercises to help you relax. Visualisations and soft music are used to enable you to let go of the stress in your life and learn to deeply release tensions..............it is the most wonderful thing!
Improving community wellbeing
the self centre is a special type of business. On a practical level we share many problems and factors for success with business in general. But we are more than that.
Our distinctiveness comes from the reasons we have been set up, the needs we meet, and the principles by which we work. This gives the self centre core values that most traditional businesses lack.
There is acceptance now that much of today’s dis-ease and illness is a direct result of our frantic modern way of life. the self centre provides a wide choice of stress relieving and health promoting activities and therapies – a place of sanctuary.
the self centre is motivated by social goals of employment creation, provision of quality local services and improving the health and wellbeing of our community.
