Group Yoga Classes

“I am really enjoying Monica’s yoga classes. So glad I am making the time to come along every week.  Love that it works on my strength, flexibility, relaxation and more. It’s exactly what I need in my life!”  Kerry

“Monica has provided a much needed opportunity to exercise at home during this difficult time. My mental health and well-being has been supported too which has been essential during COVID-19 lockdown. It’s an easy online booking and payment system. Monica’s clear instructions and guidance makes the classes enjoyable and she is, as always, very encouraging. I’d recommend her online yoga class whilst face to face contact classes are still out of reach.” Cheryl

Our adult classes link movement with breath and are set at various levels depending on the class with options to advance or take it easier. There may be different themes and we may target different areas of the body such as lower back, shoulders, core or hips.  Sometimes we will flow through our sequences and other times we will linger longer in a Yin Yoga style class to restore and relax.  Every class gives you time in relaxation at the end and some may include a longer guided meditation first.  I am pleased to provide you with the following classes:

How to Book

I have an easy to use booking system and the link is below. If you have not used it before, click on the link then “Newbie” to set up your email address and password. Go to the class you want to book and select “reserve” up to an hour before class.  You can save money by buying a block of classes to hold on your account to book any time (just remember to go back into the class you want to book). Once you have reserved your place, you will get an email confirmation (check your spam folder as it sometimes hides there!). Contact me through karmatreeyoga@gmail.com if you have any questions.  Please note that credit/debit card processing fees (1.4% – 2.9%) charged by our payment processing partner Stripe.com are non-refundable when you cancel your reservation as they are not paid back to us.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve never done yoga before.  Are the classes suitable for beginners?

My focus is about bringing yoga to everyone whatever your shape, size or level of fitness. If you can breathe you can do yoga! It would be helpful if you could let me know a little about your current and previous medical situation so that I can suggest options if needed.

Do I need to book ahead?

The hall classes have a maximum number of attendees to ensure everyone has sufficient space to practice so make sure you book in plenty of time to secure your place. You can book in up to an hour beforehand.

What do I need to bring?

Please bring your own mat and any props such as straps or blocks that you wish to use.  Wear something light and comfortable such as leggings and a t-shirt though you might want to bring some socks and warm top or blanket for relaxation.  Otherwise just leave your shoes at the door along with your cares, worries and other baggage!

I’m not feeling well.  Can I still attend class?

As much as I love to see you at my hall classes, the health and wellbeing of those who attend is my priority. Please do not come to class if you have a cough or other symptoms that could be passed on to others. Many thanks for your understanding.  You are welcome to attend one of my online classes though as I put all attendees on mute so your tickly cough won’t disturb anyone.

I’m not ready to start back at hall classes. Will you be continuing your online classes?

Yes I will be continuing with online classes at 8pm on Mondays and Thursdays.  There are lots of people who are enjoying the ease of doing yoga online with me.  You can fit the class around your busy life, save time and even sneak straight off to bed afterwards as you don’t have to travel home afterwards!

One of the disadvantages of online yoga is I’m not able to adjust your positions.  I’ll give easy to understand instructions and options to advance or take it easier.  I’ll also ask that you pay special attention to those knees (focus on outside edge of feet) and wrists (Down Dog and Cobra: press your spread fingers to mat and visualise palms lifting).

Please don’t practice if you feel unwell or are recovering from an illness, injury or operation. You are participating at your own risk and by booking onto the class are accepting full responsibility for your own health and wellbeing.

I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.  In the meantime, keep safe and well

“Karma Tree Yoga has become an essential in my life over the last few months. Each class is a wonderful balance of challenge and relaxation with a genuine rooting in yoga teachings. What I’ve learned about chakras and breathing techniques have been integrated into my daily life when I feel the tension begin to rise. Monica herself is a bastion of calm and a joy to meet every week. I urge everyone to experience these yoga classes. Integrate them into your life and you will feel better.” Jenni

“Thank you so much for keeping your yoga classes going online.  It has made a big difference to my health and wellbeing over the last year while we have been dealing with the Covid pandemic. I know lots of other people will feel the same way.“  Laura
