Course overview

This course is designed to cater to both those who have prior experience with yoga and absolute beginners looking to explore the practice. We will engage in yoga postures synchronised with the breath, carefully adapted to meet each individual's unique needs. In addition to postures, the course includes breathing exercises, mindfulness meditation, and guided relaxation to promote overall well-being. The tutor is committed to supporting your personal journey and will be happy to discuss and work with your specific requirements to ensure a positive experience. Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience level or background.

Course description

This course offers a perfect balance of consistency and variety, ensuring that you can deeply connect with the practice while exploring different aspects of yoga. We will work with a diverse range of postures, including standing, lying, seated, and inverted positions. You will experience postures such as Warrior, shoulder stands, twists, side bends, as well as backward and forward bends. However, the primary focus is on listening to your body and only going as far as is comfortable for you. Yoga's non-competitive nature allows everyone to progress at their own pace, making the practice accessible and enjoyable for all.

To deepen your understanding and mastery, we will practice the same session three weeks in a row. This repetition helps you become more familiar with the postures and refine your technique. Each week, we will incorporate the Salute to the Sun and the same 7-Way Stretch, along with consistent pranayama (breathing exercises) and mindfulness meditation throughout the term.

Each session is designed to stretch, strengthen, tone, and relax your entire body while cultivating a sense of stillness, positive energy, and overall well-being. This approach not only enhances your physical fitness but also nurtures mental and emotional balance, promoting a harmonious life.
