classes with Mel: baby friendly yoga, Ashtanga yoga & Yin yoga
Baby friendly
One hour class
This is open to anyone including mums/dads - you can bring babies or toddlers. We have toys, and a picnic mat for kids to eat food on. Please bring your child's own snacks.
Ashtanga Yoga
Aimed at all levels: One hour led practice (or up to 1 hour 15 minutes Mysore)
Beginners will be led through a sequence of poses starting with Sun Salutations to warm up, standing poses and then seated poses.
If you are familiar with the primary series you may go at your own pace.
These classes involve hands on adjustments and individual assistance throughout. Please indicate if you would not like hands on adjustments.
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is the perfect compliment to Ashtanga and Vinyasa styles as it is the complete opposite! Slow moving, staying in each pose for some time, resolving to remain still. A great opportunity to slow down.

Yin yoga with Mel & Hannah
The evening Yin class starts with breathing exercises to calm the mind, followed by restorative yoga poses where the body is supported to allow the deep connective tissue and fascia to stretch and release. By closing the eyes and moving slowly into each pose and remaining for sometime, then slowly moving out of each pose, the mind turns inward to feel a deep stillness that nourishes on all levels.
The perfect end to your busy day, and classes are suitable for all levels.

yoga for better digestion workshop
Date: TBA
Taking expressions of interest now
“All disease begins in the gut” - Hippocrates said, and during her time as a holistic nutritionist, Ana can certainly vouch for the importance of preventing and addressing dysfunction of the gut.
For that reason Ana is facilitating a 3.5 hour workshop to begin the month of April.
Your time together will include around 60-90 minutes of discussion and education around common complaints, the importance of nourishing our gut, the impact of a chronically heightened sympathetic nervous system and ways in which we can investigate and support healthy gut function.
Ana will then lead a 75 minute Hatha practice with an emphasis on nourishing your gut, pranayama (breath work) and your lower 3 chakras (Muladhara, Svadhishthana and Manipura). This practice will cover both a mechanical and energetic approach to healthy digestion.
Finally to round off the event a light but nourishing lunch with digestive tea will be served. You will finish around 1pm.
Very limited spaces to allow plenty of time for any questions.
$85 per person, bookings essential, contact Ana directly: ana@analynch.nz
