Course overview
Course description
Yoga's approach to health and well-being is sensitive and varied and respects each individual's uniqueness and starting point. Each week there is a key posture/s and / or sequence, plus theme which we will build upon in small, manageable steps. There is time before and after each practice for questions and answers and opportunities to clarify teaching points and provide further explanations and demonstrations.
During the course you will learn how to adapt postures and breathing techniques to suit your needs; learn how to link one simple posture into another; understand the sanskrit names for yoga movements (asana); practise simple, seated meditation.
The beauty of yoga is that it can be adapted to a wide range of abilities and experiences.
After the course you can progress to the improver's course or try other approaches to yoga.
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and have a light meal 1 and a half to 2 hours before a practice. Always practise gently - there is no strain in yoga and no competition. Please always ask if you are in doubt about anything.
