non-postural

yoga + class styles

Yoga doesn’t have to be a physical practice; you might sit still and simply breathe. You won’t practise any asanas (postures) in these classes. Instead, you’ll turn inward and explore what’s inside through practices like devotional singing, meditation and breathwork.

Free your inner voice with kirtan, or call and response chanting, a form of meditation that is joyful and fun.

Turn your attention inward with one-pointed focus and bring about a sense of peace and self-acceptance. 

Pranayama classes focus on breathwork. It’s the fourth limb of Patanjali’s ashtanga yoga and the bridge that connects meditation with asana.

Yoga and Pilates are excellent during pregnancy and for you and baby after the birth. However it is recommended that you do not practice yoga or Pilates in your first trimester. You can return to practice in your second and third trimesters, where yoga and Pilates are both fantastic supports. Find out more about our pre and postnatal classes and treatments.

The wonderful thing about yoga, is that you can never be ‘too old’ to start or practice. Yoga and Pilates are practices for life, and they can be modified to suit all ages, and levels of strength and fitness. At triyoga we offer classes for all ages, from babies and kids through to adults. If you’re new to yoga the best way to start is with a beginner’s course or with a level 1 class.

Some people wear baggy, loose fitting bottoms and a t-shirt. Other people wear tight stretchy leggings and tops. The only thing that matters is that you wear comfortable clothes that you can easily move and stretch in.

As you move through a class you can get warm so it’s good to wear clothes that keep you cool, but bring a jumper for relaxation, when the body rapidly cools down. Some people also bring socks for the relaxation phase.

In triyoga hot, dynamic and ashtanga classes you will get sweaty and some people like to bring a small towel to class.
