Classes
There are three hybrid classes - online with Zoom and at the same time some people in the home studio with me. There is an in-person only class at the Friends Meeting House, Hartington Grove, Cambridge and an online only class for people living with cancer. If you sign up to my email list - nightingaleyoga@gmail.com - you will get full details of all classes including stick person lesson plans every week which you can print and work with by yourself. I'll be teaching those lessons that week, pricing is explained below.
There's also the YouTube channel and the blog, which is on this website.
All classes involve sitting, standing, lying; twisting, balancing, back- side- and forward-bending; aerobic sequences, meditation, relaxation. Joining with Zoom you don't need any special yoga equipment, we can manage with what you've got.
All classes have students new to yoga and students who have been coming for many years. All of us have challenges, and we support and encourage each other in finding variations to make it all useful for each of us. Students have told me that the classes help them with strength, flexibility, toning and relaxation and that they walk, run, sleep and garden more easily. Joints ease and muscles relax. The classes are welcoming, light-hearted, life-affirming, and make us feel better in so many ways.

MONEY
There’s a sliding scale for all classes so you can choose the price ranges that suit you best. But even if you are unable to pay at the moment please still come to the classes. My suggestion is that you pay for 10 classes at a time, and just use them up, however long that takes. I’ve suggested rates for 10 classes and for drop-in. But honestly, whatever is ok for you at the moment. Email me, and we can sort something out.
If you only want to come to the YIN YOGA 5 WEEK COURSE, I’ve written the suggested payments for that, you are also welcome to use it as a class you can switch into.
There is no difference in what’s offered, no matter how much or little you pay. All the classes are the same length – 1 ½ hours.
Basic – A reduced-price suggestion for anyone who is struggling financially - £70 for 10 classes
Regular – The mid-point - £110 for 10 classes
Supporter – If you are financially able to pay more and it feels right for you, you can support us and also support people paying less at the moment - £130 for 10 classes
Drop-in – £14
CLASSES
Gentle Yoga for People Living with Cancer - Wednesdays 3-4pm - this class is provided free in association with Maggie's Cancer Care, Cambridge. Please contact me or Maggie's - 01223 249220 - to join us. Carers are also welcome, and of course as it's on Zoom, you don't have to be near Cambridge to come.
Recommendations from students: 'I’ve found the class so useful. Your gentle yoga puts me back in touch with my body and enables me to enjoy it again. This is my second bout of breast cancer and I found the treatments so destructive last time – mentally as well as physically – that I became completely alienated from my body. Yoga would have made such a difference. My treatments have been easier this time, but your classes have had a huge healing effect too. Thank you!'
'As a previous member of the Maggie’s team I have had the privilege to join in the Yoga class every Monday via Zoom. It is run beautifully, skilfully, gently and compassionately by Sally Lander. We also have fun and relaxation built into the sessions. I highly recommend these classes.'
'Being in your classes has strengthened and relaxed my whole body and mind.. My feet are more flexible and less painful.'

CAMBRIDGE
General classes
In-person only
91-93 Hartington Grove, Cambridge, CB1 7UB
Thursday mornings 10.30am-12
The Friends Meeting House is a special space. I attended my first yoga class here; I taught my first yoga class here. And my first mindfulness class. There's a lovely big comfortable room and a welcoming garden too. From time to time we go to the nearby cafe, Balzano's, for a proper catch-up after the class. Masks will be worn when off the mats, there will be a maximum of 10 students and the room has a C02 monitor to help us make sure we have good ventilation levels.
BURWELL
General classes
Online & In-person (Hybrid)
Thursdays 7.00-8.30pm
Fridays 10.30am-12
In the yoga room we have shelves full of props, everything you could need! There's a big screen so I can see the Zoom students really well, and a camera so they can see me well. In the room we have a maximum of 6 students, and we have a CO2 monitor to make sure we maintain good levels of ventilation. The hybrid system works very well, with both on screen and in person groups getting attention. We prefer not to use mute, so questions can be asked at any time, though of course mute is useful for those times when a delivery comes or your pets and family are noisy!
GENTLE YOGA
in Burwell
Online & In-person (Hybrid)
Wednesdays, 10.30am-12
This class is for anyone who could not do a general yoga or exercise class at the moment AND anyone who is interested in gentle yoga, meditation and extended relaxation. Many of the exercises are chair or floor based, with some standing. The movements encourage joint mobility and flexibility, improving circulation, body confidence and strength.
Class members have differing needs, for example arthritic changes, chronic fatigue, recovery from illness or operations. Some people enjoy or need a change of approach and pace from other classes.
Recommendations from students:
'You really can’t imagine how much I look forward to my Tuesday Yoga and every week you seem to find something new to teach us. So thank you so much for all you do, especially during these bizarre times.'
'The class is always full of interest and variety. Sally is able to tailor the class to individual needs both short and long term. There is an informal but supportive atmosphere in the class. The meditative and relaxation elements are an important adjunct to the gentle work-out that we give our joints.'
Wednesdays 7-8.30pm
YIN YOGA Yin Yoga is floor based, and very easy to differentiate in terms of how much stretch / compression we get using time and props. It's great for flexibility and for relaxation - it's meditative and fascinating.

Day Retreats
Led by Sally Lander, supported by Jeremy Lander - we hope to get back to these soon - do sign on to the email list to get the first news!
Here's some feedback from a previous retreat to give you a little idea of how you might feel:
'Just to say that it was really wonderful in every way. I found it very revitalising and I thought it was a lovely group of people. You had thought of everything! I felt so pampered and looked after. The food was wonderful and it was so nice to be in your house which felt cosy and calming. Thank you for planning the day so thoroughly - I really appreciated it and I really hope you do it again. I felt very tired that evening, went to bed early, slept really well and felt very good all the next day (and even found time to meditate).'
