The course will explore the fundamental practice of Yoga, enabling you to learn individual asanas (poses) and become familiar with their names and how to move in and out of them safely. You will also become familiar with the sensations of each pose which will help you tune into your own body and feel more confident.
You will also learn about Pranayama (breath-work) and focus on breath throughout each session. Classes will close with relaxation to allow the body to consolidate the work of the practice.
Our experienced tutor can adapt to the physical needs of the individual, offering variations to poses where necessary and can accommodate injury by modifying poses as needed.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
• identify four key elements that build a versatile Yoga practice
• demonstrate a series of frequently used Yoga poses
• recognise the importance of using the breath in Yoga
Please bring own mat and water bottle.
