A sequence set to music

This is a flowing class built around transitions rather than postures. Lila is less interested in how deep you get into a shape than in how you travel from one shape into the next, which is where most of the strength and nearly all of the grace lives.

You will work on

  • Moving through the feet rather than landing on them.
  • Keeping the breath even while the shapes change.
  • Shoulder mechanics in weight-bearing positions.

The sequence

Each month the class works with one transition family, returning to it every week from a slightly different angle. Over four weeks something that felt impossible in week one usually becomes ordinary. The rest of the class is a steady, warming flow with a clear arc and a proper rest at the end.

What is assumed

You should be comfortable with sun salutations and know your way around a lunge and a downward dog. You do not need to be strong, flexible or fast; you need to be willing to repeat things.

For people who know the shapes

Little instruction, more practice.

What is assumed of you

Forty-five minutes moves quickly here. Come with a little warmth in your body if you can, and stay for the last five minutes, which is where the class actually lands.

I know the postures and I want to move, not be taught. Lila's sequencing and her playlists are the reason this is the one class in the week I will not move.

Get In Touch

Do I need experience to start?

No. Every class is taught with options rather than expectations, and our Fundamentals and Gentle sessions assume no prior practice at all. Tell your teacher it's your first time and they will look after you.

What should I bring to my first class?

Comfortable clothes and a water bottle. Mats, blocks, straps and bolsters are all provided, and there are showers and lockers in the changing rooms.

Can I come without a membership?

Yes. Drop-in classes and pay-as-you-go class packs sit alongside our memberships, so you can practise as often or as rarely as suits you.

How early should I arrive?

Fifteen minutes before your first class, and around five for every class after that. It gives you time to check in, settle and set up your mat without rushing.

Can I pause or cancel my membership?

Pause or cancel anytime with 30 days notice. There are no joining fees and no lock-in contracts, and any unused class credits stay on your account.

Do you teach pregnant or injured students?

We do. Several of our teachers are qualified in pre and postnatal practice and in therapeutic yoga. Let us know before class so your teacher can adapt the session for you.
