A beginners course is the perfect introduction to anyone totally new to yoga or wanting to revisit the foundations. You don’t need to be super flexible, do a headstand or have a wardrobe full of amazing workout clothes - just come with an open mind and willingness to practice yoga. :-)
This course builds week by week, introducing you to the physical postures (asana), teaching alignment, basic meditation and relaxation techniques, and exploring the breathing techniques (pranayama) used to calm the mind and reconnect to the body. Each week we will focus on a different physical & emotional aspect of the body,
Week 1 - Introduction & standing poses
Week 2 - Back bends & the spine
Week 3 - Hip openings & emotion
Week 4 - Twisting & detoxing
Week 5 - Forward folds
Week 6 - Arm strength
Week 7 - Balances
Week 8 - Putting it all together
Week 9 - Feeling strong and fabulous
Week 10 - Restorative class
