Hatha flow classes with Lucie

Lucie offers two different classes, welcoming every body types and levels of experience.

All classes follow the same pattern : breath control and awareness (pranayama), physical practice (asana) and meditation practice.

Classes are friendly and non pretentious.

Whether you are looking to stretch and recover physically or to deepen your self awareness and your practice of stillness, these classes could fit you well.

Yoga for Athletes - Mondays 6.30-7.30pm from 5th August

I have been teaching this class for a couple of years now and it turns out that most people coming regularly to it are cyclists, runners, climbers or altogether active people (myself included!). So by default, to adapt to their needs, this class became a weekly stretching session for athletes.

In this class, we work on the breath, on areas of the body that might be particularly tight that week and on resilience, patience and balance - all needed if you practice a sport.

This is a practice open to all leading an active life, especially if you are feeling very stiff and feel the need to incorporate some slower movements in your week. You do not need to have practiced yoga before to join us. We are a very friendly bunch and you will feel right at home with us!

You can drop-in for £10 or purchase a 6 week pass for £50 that saves you a class worth.

3 week Yoga course - Tuesdays 6-7pm from 6th August

In August I am running a 3 week Yoga Course and every week we will explore a different area of the body and incorporate different elements of pranayama (breath) and meditation to the practice.

This is a course open to all, regardless of your fitness level, your background and your experience of Yoga. Props are being used to support the body to get into poses safely and comfortably and options are given to adapt to your body’s needs.

A 3 week pass is £30 but you can also drop-in for a class if you can’t make the 3 - drop-in fee is £10.

All students with a 6 class pass can still use their credits to come to class, just book on the app.

• Paying cash on the day is fine but contact Lucie to book your spot as classes tend to fill up!

About Lucie

In her own words...

"A few of years ago I was deeply unhappy with my life and decided that it was time to make a change. I wasn't well physically and mentally and didn't know where to seek help until one day a yoga video popped up on my YouTube suggestions. I didn't know anything about yoga then, but what I did know is how much better I felt after a few minutes of breath work and meditation. I became curious and started reading books about yoga and mindfulness and a few weeks later decided to book a plane ticket to India. If there is one place that is loaded with spirituality it's Rishikesh. I headed to the holy city situated at the foothills of the Himalayas and spent an intensive month of studying yoga and its philosophy. I came back a different person and all I wanted was to share with other people my experience and to help them the same way yoga helped me."

"I have now been teaching at Maitri Studio and around Belfast for nearly four years. I have trained in Ashtanga, Hatha and Vinyasa yoga – as well as meditation, pranayama and philosophy. Since my initial training I went back to India a second time to deepen my knowledge and I am now 500hr Yoga Alliance Certified.

I have also recently completed a Restorative yoga training. I have more than 1000 hours of teaching experience and can help you find what type of yoga could work for you if you're not sure!"
