What we offer at Carly Yoga

Yoga styles

We cover a range of styles so you can choose what fits your energy, goals, and experience:

• Vinyasa / Flow – Dynamic, breath‑led sequences that build strength, mobility, and focus. Good for all levels with options to modify.
• Kundalini – Energetic practice combining movement, breathwork, sound, and meditation to shift stress and boost vitality.
• Floor / Restorative – Slow, supported postures held for longer periods to calm the nervous system and release deep tension.
• Baby Yoga – Gentle, safe movement for you and your baby, supporting post‑natal recovery, bonding, and relaxation.
• Mindful / Meditation‑based yoga – Classes that emphasise awareness, breath, and present‑moment focus, often with guided relaxation at the end.

Sports therapy & massage

All massage and sports therapy is tailored to your body and goals, whether you’re an athlete, weekend warrior, or just carrying everyday stress.

• Sports therapy / remedial massage
• Focus: muscles, tendons, and joints used in sport and daily life.
• Helps with: tightness, niggles, injury prevention and rehab, posture issues, and recovery after training or long shifts.
• Often combined with simple mobility or breath work to support long‑term change.
• Deep tissue massage
• Focus: deeper layers of muscle and fascia where chronic tension lives (back, neck, shoulders, hips, legs).
• Helps with: persistent stiffness, “knots”, restricted movement, and stress held in the body.
• Pressure is adjusted to your comfort; communication throughout is key.
• Relaxation / Swedish massage
• Focus: full‑body, rhythmic strokes to calm the nervous system and promote deep rest.
• Helps with: stress, poor sleep, general tension, and mental overload.
• Great as a stand‑alone treat or paired with a gentle yoga or mindfulness session.
• Pregnancy & post‑natal massage (on request)
• Gentle, supportive work adapted for pregnancy and the post‑natal period.
• Helps with: back and hip discomfort, swelling, fatigue, and overall relaxation.

Mindfulness & relaxation options

Alongside yoga and massage, we offer dedicated mindfulness practices to support mental as well as physical wellbeing:

• Guided mindfulness sessions – Structured practices focusing on breath, body scan, and present‑moment awareness to reduce stress and improve focus.
• Breathwork for calm and energy – Simple techniques you can use before bed, before training, or during busy days to reset your nervous system.
• Relaxation & restorative sessions – Often held in the relaxation dome, these combine gentle movement, breath, and guided relaxation for deep recovery.
• 1:1 mindfulness coaching – Personalised support if you’re dealing with stress, sleep issues, or want a regular practice that fits your life.

One‑to‑one classes and combined sessions

• Private yoga classes – Tailored to your level, goals, injuries, or pregnancy/post‑natal needs. Can be held in Ayr or in the home relaxation dome.
• 1:1 massage & sports therapy – Individual assessment and treatment plans for specific issues (e.g. back pain, tight hips, running/cycling niggles).
• Yoga + massage packages – Pair a private or small‑group yoga session with a massage for a complete reset. Popular with shift workers, athletes, and anyone wanting a dedicated recovery day.
