vinyasa FLOW
Join me for a dynamic vinyasa practice which incorporates breathwork, a moving flow sequence (using Quantum Yoga™️ principles to weave asanas together), followed by a deep and nourishing relaxation.
This is an opportunity to tune into the subtle energy of the body to foster a sense of steadiness and ease, whilst regulating the mind and nervous system. There will be modifications and more challenging options available, so it is accessible for all levels of practitioner. Quantum Yoga™️ is based on balancing the Ayurvedic doshas - Vata (air), Pitta (fire) and Kapha (Earth) - and depending on the energy of the group or what dosha we are working with, we might go slower, softer or stronger - every week is different.
Dawn Collective Shala is in Vale de Telha, Arrifana. It’s a space to slow down, breathe and simply be.

Yoga offerings - style specific
Restorative Yin
Yin yoga works with connective tissue and fascia to provide a deeper release through long held (2-5 minutes) postures. The poses are simple, all floor based and accessible for all, regardless of age, ability or ailments.
It taps into a stillness that triggers deep breathing and helps relax the mind, allowing for a restorative, cooling and calming practice that is perfect to unwind with.
Yin/yang or Slow Flow
Using the combination of flow and stillness, we observe the sensations in our bodies and minds for a mindful practice. Less emphasis on movement means we can reside in poses for longer and feel into the benefits of a tradition hatha style of yoga.
We’ll also be incorporating longer holds as in yin as well as moon or sun salutations to create heat. This combination provides a well rounded and balanced practice.
Dynamic Vinyasa Flow
In this practice of breath syncronised movement we stretch, strengthen and consciously transition between postures that help energise and wake us up. We look toward core stability to be the foundation of functional movement and develop our understanding of body mechanics through standing postures and arm balances, aimed to invigorate our minds and bodies. The pace is fast and flowing, but with ample time for relaxation to finish and regulate the nervous system.
TAke a free class with me
Remember back in lockdown when we couldn’t go to yoga studios and online yoga really took off? During that time I partnered with Surf Girl Magazine to provide a special surf-yoga-flow class. If you’re wondering what my teaching style is like or curious about vinyasa - now’s your chance!
