Slow flow yoga Community Class Every Monday - from 17th of November
18:30-19:45 - Hackney Downs Studios
An invitation to press the pause button at the start of each week. Every Monday evening, Jen will guide you through a sequence of gentle flowing movements and into stillness.
Each class aims to balance the rhythms of the body with the seasons, to soothe your mind through connecting breath and movement, and is an invitation for you to open up to your own experience. All proceeds from this class go directly to Abuelita's funds to support refugee women referred by MamaSuze CIC - an arts-based organisation run by an all-female team, created to build community and inspire women and children refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants.
We look forward to welcoming you x
Yoga is a mind-body practice that combines physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation. It offers a holistic way to improve mobility and strength whilst building ease in the body and mind.
Improved Mobility and Flexibility: Yoga’s postures help improve joint and muscle flexibility, reduce stiffness, and promote better movement.
Strengthening Muscles: Many yoga poses help strengthen core muscles and improve posture. This reduces the strain on joints, providing structural support and minimizing discomfort.
Stress Reduction: Yoga’s calming effect on the nervous system through breath work and mindfulness, helps reduce the body’s stress response, lowering cortisol levels and promoting relaxation.
Endorphin Release: Practicing yoga can trigger the release of endorphins—our natural feel-good and pain-relieving chemicals in the body. This can improve mood and reduce pain perception.
Body Awareness: Yoga promotes mindfulness and body awareness, helping individuals tune into their bodies, recognise pain triggers, and adjust movements or postures to reduce discomfort.
1:1 Yoga Sessions: Personalised yoga offers the opportunity to work closely with your individual needs, whether you're navigating chronic pain, fatigue, nervous system dysregulation, or simply want more tailored support — perhaps you're returning to movement after injury, seeking confidence in your practice, or wanting the space to explore yoga in a way that truly meets you where you are. These sessions are slower, more intentional, and adapted in real-time to your body, energy, and goals — offering a deeply therapeutic approach to healing and self-awareness.
