Yoga Classes
Our yoga classes blend physical postures, breathwork, and meditation to enhance flexibility, reduce stress, and improve mental clarity. Suitable for all levels, sessions include energising flows for fitness enthusiasts and restorative practices for relaxation. Participants develop body awareness and cultivate inner peace in a supportive environment.
Pilates Sessions
Matwork pilates classes focus on building core strength, posture, and controlled movement using body weight. Core Strength Pilates challenges balance and coordination through dynamic exercises. Both formats improve muscular endurance and joint stability while accommodating beginners and advanced practitioners alike.
Pregnancy Yoga
Specialised pregnancy yoga helps mothers-to-be connect with their changing bodies and prepare for childbirth. Gentle movements alleviate discomfort, while breathing techniques promote relaxation. Classes create a supportive community for expectant mothers to share experiences and build confidence for labour and postpartum recovery.
Family Yoga
Interactive family yoga sessions encourage parents and children to bond through playful postures and cooperative challenges. These classes improve family communication, develop children's motor skills, and create joyful shared experiences without screens or distractions in a non-competitive setting.

The mums and bubs class is oasis of peace in an otherwise crazy week! The class is paced and designed with recovering/new mums in mind and is tailored to the needs of the participants. Distractions from bubs are part and parcel, and by now my baby loves it as much as I do! Alisons patience with the numerous interruptions is amazing, and she somehow keeps the rest of the class on track through crying babies and feeding. Thank you Alison and the team at Focus Yoga and Pilates!
