What to expect at your Yoga class:

You will be attending a Hatha Yoga class, which means we will be working to create a calm mind and a healthy body. Every class we will work on developing awareness of the breath and good breathing habits. We will also use the breath to lead ourselves in and out of Yoga postures (asanas) and into a Vinyasa Flow. This work will increase flexibility and strength, as well as toning the body and making it feel energised and free of stress.

A typical class will include:
Breath awareness.
Preparing for posture work by mobilising joints and warming up muscles.
Progressive Yoga postures, using modifications to suit all levels of ability – you work at your own level.
Winding down to a deep relaxation.
Closing practice of pranayama (yogic breathing) and meditation / relaxation.

Yoga is non-competitive and you will not be asked to do anything that causes strain or injury to the body. All posture work can be modified to make it exactly right for you. Effort is involved and you will feel the physical work in your muscles from them strengthening or stretching, but you should not feel pain. Your teacher will ensure that everything you do is safe.

Yoga is a breath-led practice!
