This 10 week course is the perfect introduction to anyone 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. :-)
We build 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
