What people are saying about Yoga Zone

Carmel’s classes are always a little oasis of calm and de-stress. She pushes everyone to their individual comfort level while explaining the benefits and background to each pose. So we know why as well as how. She makes great use of props for different abilities so everyone gets the most from her invigorating classes.

I am a secondary school teacher and I have been doing yoga with Carmel twice a week for the past five years. Several of my colleagues also do yoga with her. We love her classes. She is an excellent teacher who manages to combine fun and hard work effortlessly. She caters to all levels of ability and takes great care to adapt the yoga poses to suit each individual student Her yoga makes us not just physically fit but mentally calm. I cannot recommend her classes highly enough

Yoga with Carmel is amazing, I have been going to her classes for a very long time. She has the ability to make a class suit different levels and different requirements, all blend together to achieve a fantastic hour and a half of heaven after a hard day. Many thanks, Carmel, and may you long continue!

I tried the Yin yoga class on Tuesday with Carmel. It was very different from my regular weekly class but the results were equal if not more rewarding. I felt both mind and body really benefited. The overall well-being feeling I had afterward and the following day was, for me, amazing. I recommend you give it a go! You may be pleasantly surprised.

I really enjoyed all the classes I attended over the last couple of years and Carmel's soothing approach is especially welcome in the antenatal class! Did someone say Shavasana?

Yin Yoga - 13th September @ 8:00 p.m.

Yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It’s a slower and more meditative class, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body.

Because you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in traditional styles of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.

Energetically by stretching and deepening into the connective tissue, we’re opening up any blockages and releasing energy Qi ( vital energy) to restore healthy flow. All poses are done seated and poses are typically held for longer to access deeper tissues. The class also focuses on meditation to enhance overall holistic health. The class is open to all levels and can be done after eating and wearing your comfiest PJs!

Dynamic Flow - 13th September @ 6:00 p.m.
