Yoga for beginners

Start slowly. From the basics.

You do not have to be flexible. You do not have to know anything. You do not have to touch the floor with your fingers. You come to your first class as you are - and that is enough.

I lead the beginners' course slowly and carefully. I show you how to breathe, how to enter a posture and how to leave it, how to recognise the limit of your own body and not push past it.

What you will learn

• Conscious breathing - the foundation of the whole practice.
• A dozen or so postures that come back in every class.
• How to tell effort apart from strain.
• How to release a day spent at a desk or on the move.

What a class looks like

We begin with quiet and breath. Then a warm-up, a sequence of postures matched to the group, and a long release at the end. You leave calmer than you arrived.

The group is small, so I see every person and can suggest what to adjust. If something is out of reach, I will always show you an easier version.

Passes

You can come to a single class or take a 4 or 8 entry pass. A pass does not tie you to a particular date - you come in the week that works for you.

The first time is always the hardest. After that it is simply your practice.
