Brief description:

This is a class for all levels of Yoga students wishing to progress individually. Yoga is not competitive and students work within their own personal abilities. One of the aims of the class is to enjoy a balanced Yoga programme, so don’t worry if you feel that you may be less experienced than other students. The class is suitable for both men and women, with or without previous experience.

Breathing - Our normal breathing may be uneven, shallow and inefficient. You will learn to observe and work with the breath, to promote a calmness in body and mind.

Relaxation - Today relaxation often has to be relearned due to the stresses of our modern lifestyle. You will learn different techniques that you can also practice on your own.

Postures - are movements or positions working with different areas of the body with awareness of the breath and concentration of the mind. We hope to improve flexibility and balance the body energy.

You will need to wear loose clothing, such as a track suit, or leggings. Bring a rug, blanket or mat to lie on and avoid eating 2hrs before the class. Please let me know of any health problems such as high blood pressure, slipped disc, hernia etc. at the beginning of the term. Ask your doctor for advice if you feel that it is necessary.
