Tree of Life home to a wide range
of dynamic and gentle, restorative yoga classes suitable for all levels.
Yoga is an excellent way to relieve stress while promoting relaxation, yet still providing physical exercise. It can be aptly described as a moving meditation.
The postures are designed to release feel good hormones; endorphins while also improving organ function,
re-balancing the nervous system and helping the body's systems to work more efficiently.
Here at Tree of Life our emphasis is Holistic, non judgemental and assisting our students in developing a correct and Authentic Yoga practice

This flow centers around control and precision, with a diversity of exercises and modifications to suit a wide range of levels from beginner to advanced. With this class, you will learn and practice the tools needed to lead a healthy and fit lifestyle, while also remaining mindful in every act you perform
Hatha Yoga
Hatha is considered a relatively gentle, slow-paced style of Yoga that focuses on a combination of specific postures and meditative breathing exercises with the aim to balance both body & mind. As it generally includes holding poses for longer periods of time rather than constant movement, it's a great choice for both beginners and students who prefer a more relaxed style of Yoga which leaves you in a state of relaxation and inner stillness.
Yin & Restorative Yoga
Yin is a gently challenging style of yoga that works through passive stretching, holding poses for several minutes at a time which are mostly performed on the floor. The purpose is Yin Yoga is to relax your body and mind through an initial state of resistance, allowing you to go deeper in postures which target not only the muscles but also the connective tissue in the body including ligaments, bones, and joints. This way, it offers much deeper access to our bodies and minds that we tend to neglect. Yin Yoga reminds us to embrace mild challenges and embody our nature as human 'be - ing's.
Prenatal Yoga
