Yoga
We practice two styles of yoga at Louma: Vinyasa and Hatha. Our experienced teacher, Pip Scammell, will guide you throughout, offering a variety of poses to suit your ability.
Vinyasa Yoga enables you to experience the flow of your body’s energy and breath as you follow an ancient and dynamic sequence of poses. A gentle yet powerful practice, it releases mental, emotional and physical tension.
Hatha Yoga is a slower restorative practice, resetting your equilibrium through a combination of yoga breathing, postures, meditation and rest.
Pilates
Our mixed ability mat based Pilates classes offer a balanced session for both mental and physical conditioning. The flowing and dynamic classes incorporating essential oils will improve your strength, flexibility, postural alignment and coordination as well as helping to reduce stress and improve focus through a mind body connection. Working with small equipment props such as weights, foam rollers and Pilates’ balls ensures exercises can be adapted to any ability.
Our instructor, Cat is absolutely passionate about the benefits of Pilates, having had a long career in Interior Design her spacial eye ensures that classes include a hyper focus on alignment and fostering the correct technique.
Craniosacral Therapy
We are delighted to have Lisa offering Craniosacral Therapy for our guests at Louma. Lisa has been interested in Craniosacral Therapy for almost, thirty years since her mid-twenties when a practitioner in London helped her finally release the pain in her back after months of struggling every day.
She would describe herself as being totally open minded, open hearted and caring, with the steady and strong belief that your body is a sea of possibility ready to find a core healthy flow in the right supportive environment.
Craniosacral therapy is a light but potent touch (over clothes) modality. Through this practice the therapist can listen carefully to the systems in your body; like a talking therapist hears your words, through their hands, a Craniosacral therapist can hear your body. A Craniosacral therapist is touching you in ways and places that can tap into your rhythms, reminding the body of resources it has, blocks that can be released, and vital connections it can make. It is your body that can do this amazing work and make these adjustments.
Some examples of issues that Lisa has had success helping with are; chronic migraines, neck pain, back pain, anxiety, held trauma, low energy levels, hormonal imbalances, and in babies; general discomfort, sleeping and feeding difficulties.
