BOXING SKILLS

Our Boxing Skills class, focuses on boxing technique whilst delivering a full body conditioning workout.

You will cover the essential elements of boxing: refining your stance and punching technique, improving your footwork, while also focusing on defence and the level of physical fitness required to be a boxer!

By taking part in these sessions, you will learn specific boxing combinations whilst achieving a phenomenal cardio workout.

This class is for both those who are starting from scratch, and for those who wish to develop their boxing skills a little further.

CAPOEIRA

Capoeira Angola is an African-Brazilian art form that fuses dance, acrobatics, fight, music, voice, history and community. Training prepares for the “roda” – the ritual circle in which players take turns to play in pairs, accompanied by music.

This class will introduce you to some of the foundational rhythmic movements, attacks, escapes, inversions and philosophy of Capoeira Angola. This flowing style is often played close to the floor, which develops strength, flexibility and resilience. By the end of the class you will have the basics for a game with another player.

Be prepared to connect with your inner child and with other practitioners! No experience necessary, but expect physical work!

Please wear loose clothes and a t-shirt you can tuck in.

CONDITIONING FLOW

A 45 minute blend of conditioning and weight training designed to tone your muscles, improve your balance and core strength and work your entire body in one continuous flow. You will move with precision and purpose through sequences created to target specific muscle groups.

These classes are a great way to support your regular practice and also to switch things up if you’re looking for a fun, productive break from traditional yoga classes. 

You will be moving through some familiar poses, but using light ankle weights and added resistance. So expect to work hard and build up a sweat!

HANDSTANDS

Flip your perspective and take flight! In this handstand-focussed class expect to prepare the whole body to get up-side down safely, build strength, stability and body awareness, learn techniques and drills and have some playtime.

We will often use props, which may include the wall, and sometimes with partners, to work on a variety of handstands, whether you are just gaining the courage to get up-side down, or working towards holding a straight line or a press handstand.

Natural movement

Natural movement is a fitness training system based on the full range of natural human movement skills. We strive for effectiveness, efficiency and adaptability through a combination of movement skills, conditioning and mindset.

The Natural Movement classes are game-based and inspired by the Fighting Monkey research, which explores the many different principles of Human Movement in a fun and enjoyable way, bringing longevity to the practice.

The motto is: Enjoy more, Move better, Last longer!

Expect an hour of non-stop movement, inclusive of partner games, creative tasks and plenty of crawling.

The set of skills you will learn can help restore the natural flow of movement in your day-to-day life. The more of the techniques you master, the more fit but also skilled you become. Learning these new skills challenges mind and body in ways you never thought possible.

STRENGTH & CARDIO FLOW

The class consists of an hour long all round approach to movement focusing on cardio, strength and conditioning.

Starting off with breathwork and movement flow to warm the body up before stepping into the main workout. The class will be a mixture of strength, cardio, high intensity and lots of energy.

Expect sweat and hard work! Empowering others to move well, feel strong and increase the heart rate.

Open to all levels- everyone’s welcome.

Tai chi

Tai chi is accessible to a wide range of people thanks to its elegant form, structured to take the practitioner from simpler movements into more complex ones step-by-step, through repetition.
