Service Description

Are you curious to try yoga for the first time? Maybe you did yoga some time ago and would like to get back to it? Perhaps you would like to join a yoga class but want to develop some confidence through some beginner-focused classes first? Then this six-week course is for you! What can I expect in this course? • During the course, you will learn some fundamental yoga asanas (poses), adaptable to your needs, and come away at the end of the six weeks with a short sequence that you will be able to practise at home. • You will also learn some tools with which to manage anxiety and stress through the practise of breathing techniques and simple meditation. • You will explore a little bit of yoga philosophy, giving you a ‘sneak peek’ into what yoga is beyond physical poses, and how it can support you in your everyday life. • Each class builds upon the knowledge of the previous one, helping to increase your confidence as you go. Really importantly, this course is taught in a friendly, inclusive environment in which you are very welcome. You don’t need to wear the ‘right kit’ or have the ‘right body’ or be ‘right on!’ Yoga is for everyone, so just bring ‘you!’ What’s Included? • A little welcome gift • Weekly 'handouts' reviewing our learning in the lesson • Weekly 'What's App' video with a lesson-related theme • A delicious tea bag sachet to take home with you every week (You can practice your ‘tree pose’ while you are waiting for the kettle to boil!) • A chocolate meditation in the final week • All props and mats to use for the six sessions How will I benefit from doing this course? • The benefits of yoga really are vast! Yoga asanas (poses) can help you to develop better body awareness and improve your strength, balance and flexibility. It can also improve your posture, leading to enhanced breathing capacity. • The breathing techniques we explore can help to boost your mood, improve your sleep and do wonders for your sense of well-being. • Arguably one of the biggest benefits of taking part in a yoga course is the sense of belonging and community that it fosters, providing you with the opportunity to feel connected, to ‘find your tribe!’ • A sense of achievement! Learning something new, meeting new people, and completing something is a great feeling! This course could also spark a lifetime love of all things yoga! Worth a try! :-)
