The course will give you both a relaxing and uplifting yoga session and also inform and educate you on many benefits yoga can offer. The class will be a basic yoga class with emphasis on improving your flexibility, balance and general body strength.

The class is structured so it’s suitable for both beginners and experienced. A priority is that the yoga is enjoyable, easy to follow and also allows a more experienced student to take options to build into a pose.

We start a class with a grounding, breath work and a warm up, we then take the class into a series of peak postures that will cover most positions, standing, balance, kneeling, sitting and on your back. Inversions are kept to a few simple and easy postures. We encourage the use of props such as a chair (for balance) or the wall and blocks as required.

The class is completed with breathwork, relaxation and an easy meditation.
