The purpose of these one-hour, online, yoga sessions is to provide some time-out from daily lives to focus on your own health and wellbeing.
These are uplifting classes that are fun and engaging, offering a light-hearted approach to practicing yoga and relaxation.Each class will focus on bringing awareness to the body with gentle stretching and yoga postures, and working closely with the breath to help increase energy, flexibility and vitality, helping release physical tension which can promote relaxation for the mind.The course is delivered online using Zoom.Each class will include gentle stretching to warm-up the body, working with the breath throughout the class and moving the body through various yoga postures, then finishing with a guided relaxation.The course will also highlight alternative methods for practicing yoga postures safely if the traditional form of the pose is not achievable for the learner. For example, a posture that involves lifting the arms, may be practiced with no arms if the learner has a shoulder/arm issue.By participating in this online course, you can experience improved flexibility and release tightness and tension from the physical body; increase muscle strength and better balance and learn breathing techniques that can help release stress and reduce anxiety.In order to avoid disappointment, it is advisable to enrol at least 2½ weeks prior to the course starting. We will confirm course information two weeks prior to the start date.Please note there will be no class on 29/10/2024.

Courses can fill fast, so please enrol early to avoid disappointment. Decisions on whether a course is to run are made two weeks prior to the start date - an email will be sent to you should there be changes to your course or if it is cancelled. Please check your inbox leading up to your course, including the junk folders. For anyone without an email account, our Admissions team will phone you instead.

For the first week of the course you will need to bring a valid form of identification; this includes passport, driving licence, debit/credit card, Birth Certificate or National Insurance card.

Fee information
Courses offered by the college are fully or partly funded by the Government and the published fee takes account of this funding.

Before starting a course, the College is required to check you meet conditions relating to that funding, e.g. age, residency status within the UK/EEA, prior qualification level and employment status. In some circumstances (such as with online enrolments), these checks can only be completed after you have enrolled and paid.

If you are unable to pay in full for this course at the time of enrolment, and the course tuition fee is £300 or more, an instalment plan is available. If this is your preference, please do not enrol online but rather call the Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to enrol.

Once enrolled, Admissions will take the first instalment payment from you and pass on your details to the Finance team who will email you to set-up your payment plan. Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.

The rules on fee reduction are complicated, we would encourage you to talk to our Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to discuss these options. You can find more information on our Fees and Bursaries page - search "Fees and Bursaries" at the top of the page.
