Yoga with Irina
Welcome to Alive Yoga!
Yoga classes in Brighton
Our classes are for people of all ages and levels of flexibility. Beginners are welcome.
If you would like to take a break from ‘doing’ and experience ‘being’, then this class is for you.
You will learn how to undo and let go of unnecessary tensions on many levels: physical, mental and emotional. With detailed instructions and time to explore, you will be guided through a series of movements, including classical yoga postures, breathwork and somatic experiences. You will learn how to connect and integrate your body parts to create a better posture and improve your levels of mobility and flexibility.
During the classes, as well as yoga postures, we use a variety of techniques, including self massage, EFT tapping, affirmations and visualisation. You will develop a better understanding and sensitivity to your ‘energy body’ and learn how to bring it back to balance.
At the end of the class you will feel more relaxed yet energised. You will be able to use what you’ve learned in class in your daily life.
Classes are held at The Barn in Patcham, Brighton. A 15th century barn surrounded by trees, in a quiet location. When the weather allows, we are able to open the hall door to feel even closer to nature.

Testimonials
“I have been attending Irina’s classes for 7 years. I am now 63 and am convinced that these classes have contributed to my flexibility and general fitness. I used to suffer from dizzy spells when I lay down but realised these spells have disappeared. I’m not sure when but I haven’t experienced this problem now for several years.
Irina gently guides us through varied movements to stretch and loosen our joints so we work to the best of our personal capability.”
Ruth, Retired practice manager
“Irina’s yoga classes are a perfect blend of deep inquiry and gentle unfolding. There is light hearted chat and giggles with friendly people. Space is created in the body and mind, and you return to the day a lighter being”.
Frithe Johnson, Osteopath
“Coming to Yoga later in life I didn’t know what to expect but wanted to have the experience. I have not been disappointed. No two weeks are the same, Irina skilfully teaches us to connect with our bodies and breathing through a whole range of exercises, whilst realising our limitations. I thoroughly enjoy the classes, the friendship with fellow members and the discipline of the exercises.”
Lynn retired
“I have been doing yoga with Irina for several years and enjoy the classes. Irina is an excellent teacher who is very genuine and really believes in what she is doing. She obviously enjoys teaching and sharing her knowledge with us, both on a physical level and also spiritually. I hope she will continue teaching for many years to come.”
Helen, Administrator
“I just wanted to highly recommend this new Yoga class on Thursday mornings. I went for a free session a few weeks ago and have been back every week since, for my hour and a quarter of ‘getting away from it all.
This is not a fast-paced, dress in Lycra and bring a big bottle of water class, but focuses more on relaxation and Irina gives everyone individual attention to optimise stretches and breathing techniques to feel energised for the rest of the day.”
