Peak Pose Practice
with Kristabelle Irons

Peak Pose Practice is a monthly, 75 minute class on Sunday mornings.  It is an opportunity to go deeper into some of the more physically challenging postures in yoga practice.  The objective is to work on the practice, not necessarily to “achieve” the posture.

In a Peak Pose class the teacher will take you through a progressive sequence to prepare your body and mind for working on a specific posture (asana).  You’ll start with foundational movements to build the necessary strength, flexibility, balance and mobility to practice the peak pose.

The sequence will build in complexity and may include drills or other work to replicate body movements, positions or transitions that will be necessary for the peak pose.  When you get to the peak pose there will also be options and props to support your practice of the posture.

The class will finish with an integrative sequence of calming and restorative postures so that the body slows down and recovers safely.

The class moves at a medium pace.  You can slow down or take breaks at any time.

You can use your membership, class pass or pay-as-you-go to attend Peak Pose Practice.

This class will appeal to anyone who has previous experience of yoga and enjoys a class offering elements of physical challenge.  

For instance, this class is suitable for you if you are confident in our Beyond Beginners, Upward Frog Hatha, Vinyasa or Mandala classes.

It is not a suitable class for complete beginners.

You will need to be able to get up and down from the mat multiple times during this class. 

There will be wrist and knee pressure during sun salutations and postures but you can use blankets or double mats to cushion your joints.  You will need an understanding of foundational yoga postures for this class.

We can accommodate many long-term health conditions in this class, please feel free to contact us to discuss.

We offer the Peak Pose Practice in person only.

This class is 75 minutes long.
