The Beginners Yoga course is suitable for people of all ages and life stages, including pregnant women. It sets the foundation for how to approach yoga in a systemised and progressive way, using cues for good anatomical alignment, and yoga props for optimal support and restoration.
Each class builds on the week before, starting with basic joint movement warm-ups, standing, and sitting poses and eventually progressing to twisting poses and semi-inversions. Poses can be modified, or variations are given, to enable students to work at their level and ability.
This course will teach you about the importance of using a mindful breath during yoga practice and how this can assist the body slowly open, and the mind come into present moment awareness. Training the body, mind and breath in this way creates an opening into experiencing an intimate connection with our body and energy state.
