Yoga is an ancient form of meditation that developed in India over thousands of years. Yoga is a Sanskrit word that means union with the source of all life. NessYoga - Therapeutic & Restorative classes are designed to help the body let go of tension and deeply relax and release deeply held muscle tension.

The class is designed to deeply focus on release through the body, heal your body from fatigue and stress and as we know, many disease these day are stress related.

a practice of 'being' not 'doing'. We believe that we have to 'work' to increase flexibility, but often we achieve more opening in parts of the body that feel tight by softening and relaxing rather than through an active yoga practice. During a Therapeutic & restorative Yoga sequence, you still stretch, but you relax fully in the stretch, so that tensions can slowly be released. 

 

This class is suitable for anybody who feels the need to slow down and tune in.

Beginners - advance - all are welcome

Concept boys pass Black Belts!!

On Sunday 19 October 3 students graded for their black belts. Callum Coates, Kain Edmondson and Des Talbot.

The boys were put through a gruelling four hours that consisted of running, bodyweight circuits, weighted circuits, plyometrics, the full syllabus, pad work, bag work, sparring and grappling. They were taken to the edge both physically and mentally, and all three boys came out the other side stronger than they have ever been before.

Its been an honour to witness their martial arts journey over the years. They have become humble young men and understand if they approach life with the same determination they will achieve all their goals.

We captured the whole day on our professional camera and will be adding the video soon!

Congratulations!!!!
