What the classes work on
Most of the classes here are for the back, and nearly all are yoga. Many of them are gentle hatha classes, where slow, deliberate movements are coordinated with the breath. A smaller number are vinyasa, where the poses flow from one to the next along a set sequence. Some classes are for the neck and shoulders, and a few for the hips, core and pelvic floor, or balance.
The classes are built around the kinds of tension that come from sitting, so the focus is on movement and sensation rather than any particular outcome.
When and where to practice
The classes run mostly in the evening, with a smaller share in the morning and at midday. Start times range from 9:30am to 7:30pm, and the busiest start times are 7:30pm, 9:30am and noon. Monday, Tuesday and Saturday are the days when most classes are scheduled. Weekend classes are rare.
Most classes run about an hour, which fits neatly between the end of a working day and the rest of an evening. Yoga and Pilates Truro is the studio with the most classes in this collection, and it is the place to start for most of the options listed.
