Our Class Styles
Hot Yoga, Hot Pilates + Barre in Crosby
Hot yoga is the practice of yoga and the integration of body, breath and mind in a heated room. During a hot yoga class you will perform a series of yoga postures with the intention of increasing strength, balance, flexibility and mental focus.
All of our classes are 1 hour long (unless otherwise stated as more) and beginner friendly but some are more physically challenging than others. Most of our classes are heated to either ‘warm’ or ‘hot’ unless it’s very hot weather.
Some are dynamic classes focused on increasing strength, balance and flexibility, some are gentle classes which prepare the body for rest, sleep and explore self regulation practices that can help manage stress and anxiety, and others are a mix of meditation, stillness and relaxation. I’ve added some general information below if you would like some help choosing a class to start with.
Dynamic Classes
HOT YOGA (INC FLOW & VINYASA)
Tuesdays (75 mins), Wednesdays & Thursdays 6.30pm, Saturdays 10am
Dynamic classes focusing on strength, flexibility and balances, usually involving sun salutations, balances and binds. Beginner friendly if you’re generally fit and well. Tuesday 6.30pm is an extended class (75 mins),and can be very hot. Wednesday is currently our most popular class and is a hot vinyasa flow. Thursdays is also a vinyasa flow class but slower than Wednesday so may be a nice one to start with. Each class is with a different teacher who brings their own interests and focus so its good to try them all. Absolutely all classes are beginner friendly.
HOT Pilates
Mondays 10am & 6.30pm, Fridays 10am
Dynamic classes focused on strengthening the back, core and major muscle groups as well as building stability. Absolutely beginner friendly. Please note that beginner friendly doesn’t mean easy!
Ballet Barre
Thursdays 6.30pm
A combination of ballet warm ups, yoga stretches and Pilates strengthening. Classes incorporate a ballet barre and use classical dancers moves such as plies alongside static stretches and high reps. It’s great cardio and you may experience what we call ‘Barre crawl’ the next day!

Introduction to Pilates
Pilates is a tough but low impact workout and is excellent for toning. If you have back, shoulder, hip or knee issues then Pilates is also a safer way to work out. Pilates is also excellent for post natal women. Research suggests that the regular practice of Pilates can significantly decrease lower back pain and improve the mobility and movement of people who suffer from chronic lower back pain. All in all, a win win! In our Pilates classes options are given for everyone (beginner, intermediate and advanced) so you are working out at your own level.
Monday 10am and 6.30pm and Friday 10am is Hot Pilates (in the hot room).
Wednesday 6.30pm Postnatal Pilates in in the Loft (not a hot class and is a separate course £50 for 5 sessions).

Introduction to Barre
Barre is a hybrid workout class - combining ballet-inspired moves with elements of Pilates, dance, yoga and strength training. Classes incorporate a ballet barre and use classic dance moves such as plies, alongside static stretches. Barre also focuses on high reps of small range movements. But the real difference between barre and other workouts are the isometric movements you perform - holding your body still while you contract specific muscles, until you shake and feel the burn! Brilliant for toning arms and legs and improving posture, Barre is it’s own reward!
