YOGA AT NUMALA
Our Deluxe and Gentle Yoga Classes
More than just movement, yoga is a return to yourself.
When life feels busy, overwhelming, or out of balance, yoga offers a space to pause, physically, emotionally, and mentally. At Numala, we offer a gentle yet powerful approach to yoga that supports your well-being from the inside out.
Alternating between hatha and yin styles, our sessions are guided by compassionate teachers and tailored to help you feel grounded, restored, and reconnected. Whether you're easing tension, seeking inner clarity, or simply needing time to breathe, our tranquil forest setting provides the perfect backdrop to reset.
No experience needed - just a willingness to come as you are.

Many people come to yoga looking for relief - from tension in the body, a racing mind, or the sense of being constantly “on.”
With regular practice, yoga gently increases flexibility, builds strength, and supports better posture and spinal alignment - helping to ease back pain and restore freedom of movement.
Breathing exercises (pranayama) further calm the nervous system, expand lung capacity, and create space for deep relaxation - helping you feel lighter, clearer, and more at ease in your body and mind.
Gentle Yoga Classes - a space to come back to YOU
Whether you’re new to yoga, easing back after an injury, or simply craving a slower pace, our gentle yoga class offers a nurturing space to reconnect with your breath, calm your thoughts, and move your body with care.
Designed for both men and women, this class supports all levels and abilities, with thoughtful variations to meet you exactly where you are.
Each session includes:
-
Kriya (progressive relaxation)
-
Breathwork to regulate and centre
-
Gentle yoga postures to release tension
-
Guided meditation for deep rest
Held at a time that respects your daily commitments, this class invites you to pause - and honour one of your most important priorities: your well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be able to complete the yoga session?
Absolutely. At Numala, yoga isn’t about pushing or performing - it’s about listening to your body and honouring where you’re at. Our classes are designed for all levels of fitness, flexibility, and experience.
Whether you’re brand new or returning after a break, you’ll be supported to move at your own pace, with options to gently stretch and strengthen when your body is ready.
You’re never too old, too unfit, or too out of practice to begin.
What can I expect from a yoga session at Numala?
Each class is carefully curated to support your whole being - body, mind, and spirit.
We alternate between Hatha Yoga and Yin Yoga each week to offer a balanced and deeply restorative experience. Hatha supports gentle strength, stability, and alignment, while Yin invites deep release through long-held postures that calm the nervous system and restore inner stillness.
Every session also includes breathwork (pranayama), guided meditation, and progressive relaxation techniques, helping you release tension, regulate stress, and reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more at peace—ready to face life with renewed energy and calm.
What should I bring or wear to yoga?
Comfort is key. Wear loose, stretchy clothing that allows you to move freely. Layers can be helpful, especially for the relaxation portion at the end of class.
We provide yoga mats, eye bags and all props, but you’re welcome to bring your own if you prefer.
Please arrive a few minutes early to settle in and enjoy the peaceful surrounds - there’s no rush here.
