Our Classes

YOGA, PILATES & MEDITATION

We challenge the way that you think about movement and mindfulness, drawing upon modern science, loved traditions, lived-experience and a genuine curiosity to create practices that are considered and deeply human.

In a world that asks us to move faster, do more and push harder, Antara exists to offer something more steady. Our classes are grounded, skilfully guided and designed to meet you where you are. At the heart of everything we offer, one thing never changes: it’s all about YOU.

We believe that consistency matters more than intensity, and that familiar faces, thoughtful teaching and a calm environment create the conditions for lasting change. Return to the truth, to your body and to a practice that supports you over time.

  • Purpose – Patience - Tradition

    Unite and rebalance yourself with the world through a mindfully grounding practice that encompasses traditional asana (postures) and pranayama (breathing techniques). Practised slowly and with purpose, Hatha yoga also includes moments of stillness to explore the postural alignment and modifications, but also allows for the freedom of spacious movement.

  • Smooth – Steady – Strengthening

    This yoga class is a celebration and exploration of movement through shape-shifting, and the breath.
    Fluid & Form smoothes your movements breath to breath so as to increase your conscious awareness – but we’ll also throw in some movement drills and take from other movement modalities to highlight and explore the mechanics of the body and of shape.

  • Static – Soothing – Meditative

    Relinquish your control: surrender your mind and body to its own shapes and spaces as we meditate and breathe our way towards a calmer Self.
    Anchored in the traditional Taoist/Chinese Medicine philosophies, YIN has a strong focus on the smooth flow of our qi (prana, energy of the body), and targets the deep connective tissues of the body (fascia, ligaments, bones and joints) with the assistance of props – you’ll spend most of your time close to the floor and in complete stillness.  Patience and gravity are your best allies here - YIN will invite you to completely stop and listen to what your body really has to say.

  • The Perfect Starting Point

    For the souls who are just discovering the magic of yoga; for those coming back to their yoga journey after being away; for those whom may just be curious AND for those who just want to peel things right back to basics (and we could ALL do that sometimes!), BEGIN welcomes all of you….. because we all start somewhere, over and over again. 
    This REGULAR class is designed to build your basic knowledge and foster self-confidence so that you can float into any yoga class when you feel ready. Or, stay as long as you like, maybe this is the just the right fit for you regardless of your experience.

  • Flowing – Firey – Freeing

    Only when there is a fire in the belly, is there true transformation.
    Let inner warmth and curiosity drive you through this well-rounded, refreshing yoga and movement practice and spark the feel-goods from within.
    Just as each of our breathing patterns and physical bodies are different, no two VINYASA classes are the same - creativity and possibility abounds here, encompassing and welcoming every body and every breath.

  • A Balance of the Best

    VINYIN is that perfect blend of deep stretching, movement, meditation and breathing, designed nourish ALL of the subtle bodies to leave you feeling truly at peace.  
    Bring energetic balance to your body and mind with a practice that supports your yin and your yang – and everything in between.

  • Release – Reflect – Relax

    An offering to reset and reframe our thoughts, to choose heartfelt intention and purpose, and even rewire neural pathways through changing combinations of guided meditations, yoga nidra, singing bowls, mantra, gentle stretching and pranayama…. Best attended in comfortable clothing, just in case you drift off to sleep.

  • The End of the Week Rinse Out

    UNWIND is the perfect way to end your week – or maybe another chance to squeeze in a great stretch before your weekend!
    This is a classic all-over yoga rinse out: not pushing beyond our limits, this is a relaxed, stress-busting, feel-good movement class with a little bit of this and a little bit of that… and we’ll have a little fun while we’re at it.

  • Fun – Fit – Graceful

    … not nearly as easy as it might look!
    BARRE blends elements of Yoga, Pilates and ballet to condition and move your body in a strong, satisfying and almost aerobic approach to your physical health. Each class has its own creative sequence (to avoid your muscles getting too comfortable!) and may include the use of small apparatus such as balls, bands and weights, giving you an extra edge to your practice.

  • Strengthen – Lengthen – Breathe

    Invented by Pilates founder Joseph Pilates, the Reformer Pilates apparatus uses spring loaded resistance to increase or decrease the intensity and focus of Pilates exercises. No two Reformer classes are the same and share the same important principles of mat pilates. 
    Work on your core strength, muscle tone, balance and alignment in a fun and supportive 45-minute sequence that has our modern-meets-tradition approach all over it.
    Please note that it is a strict hygiene and safety measure for you to wear pilates socks (grips on soles) whilst in a reformer class, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Socks and reformer mats are available for purchase at reception.

  • Control – Concentration – Centre

    This is mindful muscle connection: the original powerhouse practice developed by Joseph Pilates built around his philosophies of control, concentration and centering. Improve your strength, balance, flexibility and range of motion while increasing those feel-good endorphins - this fun class has it all!  Suitable for all levels of experience.

  • The First Step in Reformer Pilates

    This is a dedicated class for beginners, those returning from injury or time away, and those who wish to refine their precision. It will draw intentional focus to your control: you’ll be taught exactly what it means to have correct technique for breathing and core engagement without being rushed, and questions are welcomed (the more the better!).

You will be supported the whole way as we develop your confidence and knowledge so that you can float into any class that you choose (or, stay right where you are if you love it!). All levels of experience are welcome (doesn’t hurt to refine the essentials from time to time, right?)

Please note that this is not a pre-requisite for other reformer pilates classes, but is an ideal starting point for those that are new to Reformer Pilates.
    
Please note that it is a strict hygiene and safety measure that you wear pilates socks (grips on soles) in ALL reformer classes. You may bring your own or purchase at reception.

  • Sweet – Spicy – Sweaty

    Our express version of the REFORMER PILATES classes that you know and love: 35minutes of mindful movement with just the right amount of spicy-spice (and sweat). 
    It may be a shorter-length class, but you’re likely not going to wish for any more time in this one…. And if you know, you know….

  • Our Signature Sunday Morning Session

    NOURISH, much like VINYIN, is the perfect blend of deep stretching, movement, meditation and breathing, designed nourish ALL of the subtle bodies to leave you feeling truly at peace….

    BUT for a whole, delicious 75mins so that you can truly settle and savour this sacred space, just for yourself.

Far Infrared Heating

Some of our classes harness the therapeutical and nourishing benefits of our far infrared heaters – these classes will be denoted on the timetable as Warm (around 28*) or Hot (around 35*) and are NOT the same as Bikram.

Far infrared heating provides the same radiant and soothing heat that is naturally emitted from the sun. The objects (ah, that’s you!) and walls of the studio are evenly heated without having to warm the surrounding air; infrared wont harm your skin and safely permeates the body more effectively than any other type of heat – which makes for an even deeper, satisfying stretch. 
Additionally, by practising in the heat you will be giving your immune system a boost, increasing your metabolism and detoxifying the body through sweat.

Because of how infrared rays are also absorbed by the water in our bodies, it’s important that you stay well-hydrated before and after any heated class. You are welcome to bring your water bottles into the studio space and a water station is located just outside of the studio doors for your use. 

Please ensure you have a towel and wear comfortable clothing (preferably non-slippery fabric); please also be mindful that some pre-existing health conditions may be stimulated by increased heat – be sure to check with your doctor for advice before attending if you’re unsure.

Wait until you experience that incredible afterglow from a class under the heaters…. we’re quietly confident that you’ll be back for more!

PLEASE REMEMBER: to always practise to your own ability, being mindful of any health conditions or injuries and the limitations that they may bring. Our practices are not a race or a competition. While our experienced teachers will always endeavour to offer you as many variations as required, we do not replace the advice of your qualified medical health professionals.
