Class Levels
Beginners classes are Hatha Yoga classes suitable for complete beginners.
General level classes are Hatha Yoga classes suitable for complete beginners and those with some experience of any style of yoga.
Class Style
We will practice a combination of physical yoga poses (asanas) focusing on alignment and flowing sequences while integrating yogic breathing techniques (pranayama). The aim of this class is to develop flexibility, stamina, strength and promote relaxation. Focus will be placed on correct alignment of the body in each asana to bring balance, strength and a sense of calm to the practice.
The last class of each month will be a restorative class where we will look to achieve deep relaxation through asanas (physical postures), pranayama (breath control techniques), yoga nidra (yogic sleep) and meditation.

You may also wish to bring a warm top/ socks/ blanket for relaxation (savasana) at the end of each class.
