Exploring the Many Paths of Yoga at Serenity

Yoga is far more than just movement—it's a living, breathing practice that can support us through every phase of life, every shape of body, and every state of mind.

At Serenity, we believe yoga should be accessible, informed, and holistic. That’s why we offer a variety of yoga styles, each one rooted in Serena’s extensive training and international experience. Whether you’re seeking deep rest, physical recovery, emotional grounding or playful exploration, there’s a path for you here.

Let’s take a closer look at the diverse offerings you might find on your mat at Serenity:

Yin Yoga: The Power of Stillness

Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative style of yoga that works deeply into the connective tissues—like fascia, joints, and ligaments—rather than the muscles. Poses are held for several minutes at a time, allowing the body to soften and the mind to quieten.

At Serenity, Serena weaves in principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to help balance your body’s energy systems (or "meridians"). This combination makes Yin an especially powerful tool for nervous system regulation, emotional release, and long-term flexibility.

Ideal for: deep relaxation, tight bodies, emotional processing, and those needing to slow down.

Yoga & Chinese Medicine: Energy in Balance

Drawing from the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Serena brings an added layer of insight to her yoga teaching. TCM sees the body as a network of meridians (energy lines), and each organ is tied to an emotional and elemental landscape.

Classes may be tailored to reflect the seasons, lunar cycles, or even emotional themes—helping you stay connected to your inner and outer world.

Expect a nurturing blend of movement, meridian activation, and mindfulness that invites balance and harmony.

Functional Anatomy & Neuroplasticity: Science Meets Spirit

Serena’s training includes functional anatomy—a practical, movement-based understanding of how our bones, muscles, and fascia move in the real world—and how to modify yoga for every kind of body.

But it doesn’t stop there. With additional study in mindfulness and neuroplasticity, her classes also speak to the brain: how we create new mental patterns, recover from stress, and train our awareness to support both resilience and peace.

Yoga here isn’t about performing the “perfect” pose—it’s about listening, learning, and evolving.

Ideal for: anyone with injuries, physical limitations, curiosity about how yoga actually works, or a love for learning.

Chair Yoga: Strength in Support

Chair Yoga brings the benefits of yoga to those who prefer or need a more accessible option. Using the support of a chair, students can explore movement, breath, and relaxation without needing to get down onto the floor.

It’s gentle, safe, and incredibly empowering—ideal for older adults, people in recovery, those with mobility concerns, or anyone new to yoga.

Expect thoughtful sequences, mindful breathing, and lots of encouragement.

Yoga Nidra: Deep Rest for Body and Soul

Known as "yogic sleep", Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation practice that takes you into a deep state of conscious rest. Lying down comfortably with eyes closed, you’ll be guided through breath, body awareness, and visualisation, allowing the brain to move into slower brainwaves (similar to deep sleep).

This practice supports emotional healing, nervous system reset, better sleep, and mental clarity.

It’s like a warm hug for your mind—perfect for busy lives and overactive minds.

Pre & Postnatal Yoga: Honouring the Mother’s Journey

Pregnancy and postpartum are times of great change—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Serena offers specialised classes for expecting and new mothers, providing safe, supportive movement and breathwork that nurtures both parent and baby.

Classes include gentle strengthening, pelvic floor work, emotional support, and time for connection. Whether you're in your first trimester or settling into life with a newborn, you're welcome here.

Baby Yoga: Bonding Through Breath and Movement

These beautiful sessions are designed for parent and baby together, supporting bonding, early development, and recovery. Movement, massage, songs and relaxation come together in a gentle, loving environment.

It’s a chance to connect with other new parents, move your body safely, and enjoy meaningful time with your baby in a calm, nurturing space.

Aerial Yoga: Playful Strength and Surrender

Ever wondered what it feels like to fly? Aerial Yoga uses soft fabric hammocks suspended from the ceiling to support your body through flowing movements, deep stretches, and gentle inversions.

It’s fun, empowering, and surprisingly calming. With Serena’s guidance, you’ll feel supported and safe—even if you’re brand new.

Aerial yoga is an amazing way to build strength, release tension, and shift perspective—physically and mentally.

Final Thoughts

No matter your age, shape, experience level, or life chapter, yoga has something to offer you. At Serenity, we honour diversity, accessibility, and growth—and we’re here to help you find the style (or combination) that suits your needs.

Come try something new. Move a little, breathe deeply, rest fully—and most of all, reconnect with your sense of Serenity.
