Slower & gentler practices at Maitri Studio

I started writing this as a yoga / exercise for the over-50s, but then I was thinking age is just not a useful bracket! I'm lucky that I'm fit and healthy at 50, and I know lots of people who are incredible athletes a lot older than me. And I know that regardless of age and fitness, sometimes a slower class is just what you need because of all the other pressures of the world - jobs, family responsibilities, the burden of a hectic society that can be hard to set down and switch off, or even the time of year and incessant rain!

So whatever your reason, here are some classes to slow down with 😊 I may also say that almost ALL classes are suitable, just contact the teacher and let them know what you need. Check the class descriptions and the teacher profiles for more details. You're also welcome to email us [email protected] and ask. There's literally something every day of the week!
