Class Overview

Mindful Movement centres on integrating mindfulness principles into physical movement, emphasizing awareness, breath, and gentle, intentional motion rather than just physical poses.


These classes aim to deepen the mind-body connection and foster stress reduction by guiding practitioners to observe bodily sensations, thoughts, and emotions without judgment.


The focus is on presence and self-care, with an emphasis on the internal experience and the ability to adapt movements to individual needs. 

  • Is this the right class for me?


    ✔ You can expect a slower pace that prioritizes the internal experience over achieving a perfect pose. 


    ✔ The practice is inclusive and can be adapted to different fitness levels, ages, and physical limitations. 


    ✔ The goal is to leave the class feeling more grounded, present, and at peace. 

  • Can I try a class before committing?

    Absolutely. I offer a single-session intro pass so you can get a feel for the class, the vibe, and the coaching. No experience needed — just show up, and I’ll guide you through the rest.

  • Can I join midway through the session?

    Yes! Simply contact me, and I'll send you a unique promo code that offers a prorated discount based on the number of classes remaining in the session.

  • Who this class is for

    ✔ Beginners seeking confidence

    ✔ Anyone needing stress relief

    ✔ Students building routine

    ✔ Students wanting progression

What to Expect in Each Session

01

Arrive & Set-up

Check in, meet your instructor, find your spot and prepare to warm up together.

02

Warm-up

We begin with gentle warm-up poses to prepare the body for movement.

03

Sun Salutations

Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) are a foundational element in Vinyasa classes. These sequences energize the body and build heat.

04

Peak Poses

We'll select one or two peak poses that align with our theme and provide opportunities for exploration. 

05

Cool Down

After reaching the peak poses, I'll guide students into a cool-down phase, gradually transitioning into restorative postures.

06

Savasana

Savasana is an essential part of any Vinyasa practice — Participants will focus on their breath while letting go of any remaining tension in their bodies.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Melany James

I love to teach and to share my love of yoga and meditation.


The emphasis in my classes is on teaching students to be aware of their breath and its connection to their foundation, movement, and core. Making a connection between the mind, movement and breath will not only change your practice on the mat, but it can also change your life in so many positive ways!


In my classes, experienced practitioners will find a challenging and supportive environment, while newcomers will discover a space where modifications and alternatives are always offered.


I invite everyone to join me from “wherever they are” to experience the transformative power of yoga and meditation.
