Course description
This course is perfect for you if you want to do exercise appropriate for reduced mobility.
The first thing you’ll learn is that yoga is about so much more than bending into complicated poses. Understand basic breathing and meditation techniques as you take the first steps into self-care.
Do stretches from a seated position.
Learn poses that feel right for you.
Practise basic asanas (yoga poses).
Incorporate breathing techniques to help you relax.
Understand the principles of yoga philosophy.
Get an introduction to meditation and mindfulness to help you feel relaxed and present during your practice.
The beautiful thing about yoga practice is that it can be adapted to a wide spectrum of abilities in the same environment. You do not need any prior skills to take this beginner’s yoga course.
This yoga course is appropriate for complete beginners. It is also appropriate for improvers with mobility restrictions. You can progress your practice as far as you feel comfortable.
After this course you may be able to progress to a beginner’s or improver’s yoga course, depending on your physical needs.
If you’re not sure which course is right for you, feel free to consult with your friendly WEA tutor who will be happy to advise you based on your personal situation.
Yoga improves both our physical and mental well-being, helping us to release tension and relax.
