Back to Basics Yoga

This will be a great place to start your journey with yoga, an open place to ask questions before you start a regular yoga class or home practice. There will be a strong focus on how to adjust and modify poses to protect and enhance your body.   Yoga can be a complicated subject, there are so many styles, and teachers, yoga for different abilities, and then there's the funny language we use in the classes. Did you know yoga postures and movement is just 1 aspect of a whole philosophy dating back thousands of years?  We will learn about what Yoga really is, and explore a little about yoga philosophy, explore the benefits and methods of yogic breathing and also focus very much on the correct alignment for yoga postures and the benefits they can bring.   A lot a focus will be given to Sun salutations,  Downward facing dog, the Warrior Poses and balancing poses, making this class strong, energetic and of course fun!!  This class will show you the basics so you feel confident in joining a yoga class or start a home practice.   It is also an opportunity for current students to get back to basics and correct any bad habits that might have picked up along the way encouraging a stronger foundation in order to progress  and deepen thier current practice.  Please bring:

Your own yoga mat (or towel)

Any yoga props you may have, a yoga strap, blocks etc. (none of these are essential) 

A bottle of water

A small blanket (Not necessary, but nice for relaxation) 

This Class is expected to be busy so pre booking is essential
