✨ Suitable for beginners and all levels.
🌙 Slow Flow → Yin
A veeery slow flow to gently move, wake up and warm the body before melting into some seriously delicious stretches. 🫠
We’ll start with slow, mindful movement — enough to get things flowing without rushing anywhere — and gradually transition into Yin, where the pace gets even slower and the body gets to soften.
Yin is all about longer-held, mostly floor-based poses, giving your muscles a chance to relax while gently working into the deeper connective tissues, fascia and joints. Think less “push, achieve, next pose” and more “breathe, soften, stay.”
Expect deep stretches, longer holds, plenty of stillness and that lovely feeling of having nowhere else to be. 🌿
Come to move a little, stretch a lot, and leave feeling longer, softer and very relaxed. 🫶🏽
Your Teacher & Host Marta
Hi, I’m Marta
I teach Pilates and Yoga, and when I’m not doing that, you’ll usually find me somewhere near the ocean.
My movement journey started with yoga back in 2011 while I was training in Goa, and over the years it naturally expanded into Pilates. I'm trained in STOTT Pilates Reformer and Pilates Matwork (I, II), and I love combining the two worlds: strength and mobility, challenge and ease, effort and breath.
What I enjoy most about teaching is helping people feel more at home in their bodies. Whether you're looking to build strength, move with more confidence, recover from an injury, improve your posture, or simply carve out some time for yourself, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported and welcome.
My classes are mindful but not too serious. Expect movement that feels good, plenty of breathing, a few wobbly moments, some laughs, and hopefully that lovely feeling of leaving class a little stronger, a little lighter, and more connected to yourself.
I'd love to meet you and practice together sometime ✨🌿
