What is Stretch & Unwind yoga?
Stretch & Unwind is a gentle yoga class designed to help you release tension, improve flexibility and leave feeling calmer than when you arrived.
Each class combines slow, mindful movement with deep, full-body stretches before finishing with a guided relaxation, giving both your body and mind the chance to unwind.
Unlike faster-paced yoga classes, there's no rush and no pressure to keep up. Instead, you'll be encouraged to move at your own pace, listening to your body and choosing the variations that feel right for you.
Whether you're completely new to yoga or simply looking for a quieter, more restorative practice, Stretch & Unwind offers a welcoming space to breathe, move and recharge.
