Class Descriptions

Alignment yoga is practiced through a variety of asanas in an effort to tone our muscles, calm our mind and strengthen our spirit. Alignment is about posture but is more than just doing a set routine of asanas (poses). Our alignment yoga is about precision of postures, muscle training and maximising the health benefits of alignment yoga and minimising the risk of injury.

Precise instruction and demonstration are two of the key elements of our alignment classes. Focusing on precision of postures, our teachers put extra attention on which muscles are used and how they are used to ensure the accuracy of posture is performed. Props such as blocks, blankets and straps are also used to help us do the asanas.

Vinyasa — a dynamic moving type of yoga with a flowing linked sequence which aligns your body energy with smooth breathing. Poses are generally held a shorter period of time compared to traditional “Hatha” yoga, which helps practitioners focus on a fluid movement experience to improve posture, mobility and strength.

Our stretching class incorporates elements of alignment yoga and practices active stretching technique. What is active stretching? Active stretch does not only rely on gravity, as often that is less effective and could increase the risk of injury. With active stretching, muscles are engaged during the stretching, therefore better at preparing our muscles for subsequent exercises. If you are looking for static stretch, you could try our Yin class!

This 75 minute class is suitable for mums-to-be. To attend this class, students must be in their second trimester and have doctor's clearance for the safety of the student and baby. Dads-to-be are welcome to attend. Our qualified prenatal teachers will take you through a sequence that suits you and your baby, moving you through yoga poses to stretch and strengthen the body; going through breathing exercises to connect with your baby and help with labour; and also offering simple exercises that you can do at home everyday.

Prenatal Strength — focused on muscle strengthening, especially the back muscles and all the important parts during pregnancy. Prenatal Hatha — practice different pregnancy-specialised asanas and flows with breathing practice, with more variation & flexibility, while muscle strengthening is also covered. Both practices are suitable for beginners or mamas who have never tried yoga before. You can join from Week 12 to Week 39.

Common problems for postpartum include tightness of the shoulders due to lactation, pain in the knees and the loss of overall body strength due to weakened core muscles, and urinary incontinence due to loss of pelvic floor strength. With our training and strengthening exercises — relaxation of the back muscles, repair of the rectus abdominis (abs), and building up of the core, shoulder, arm and back muscles — we aim to methodically relieve these issues, making it easier for you to return to your pre-labour body and regain your body awareness.

Postpartum Care — a yogic postpartum practice using specialised asanas to relax and strengthen the body. Post-natal Pilates — focuses on training the deep core muscles, helping to flatten the tummy and relieve lower back pain. Abs & Butts — focuses on functional movements practitioners can apply to everyday life. We encourage mothers to join us 1 month after natural birth / 2 months after caesarean section.

Yin is a practice of stillness and long-holding postures. Each pose on each side can last from two to five minutes — exerting gentle pressure on the body. Unlike most other types of yoga, Yin practice focuses on letting go and minimising muscular effort in a more relaxing environment. Suitable for all levels of practitioners, and particularly beneficial for those who seek to relieve mental stress and restore balance in the health of soft tissues and joints.

Are you new to yoga? Just practising on and off, or are you a regular? The Practice's Hatha yoga class is for you. The class starts with gentle movement to warm up your body. By giving clear instructions, the teacher will guide you gradually through various yoga postures that open up different body parts. The final posture may be slightly challenging — just to amaze you how much your body can do! The class wraps up with simple stretching to cool down the body and, of course, Shavasana.

Our AntiGravity® classes are all held in Studio 1, which can fit 7 students in one class. We are one of the few studios in Hong Kong with the AntiGravity® licence, and all our AntiGravity® teachers are qualified to teach the particular sequences. AntiGravity® uses a different hammock compared to other aerial classes, creating more resistance, and follows a set sequence as set out by Christopher Harrison, founder of AntiGravity®. All of our AntiGravity classes are classified as Specialty Classes.

Focusing on decompressing the spine, these classes offer the opportunity to build mobility and flexibility in the spine. Expect inversions to help with this. No flips will be done in this class. Leave the class feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and relaxed. Suitable for all levels.

Just as the name implies, this class will both build your strength and stretch your muscles! Using the hammock, you may discover new muscles that you didn't know were there. Be prepared to sweat and have fun. Suitable for all levels.

For those who have tried AntiGravity classes, this is a great option if you want to continue to fly and soar on the hammock. Our teachers will guide you through tricks, inversions, flips and all the other fun stuff on the hammock. Leave the class with lots of laughs, sweat and maybe even a new friend! Suitable for those with some AntiGravity experience.
