Back to Yoga Beginner Courses What will the course cover?

We will teach you all the essentials you will need to begin your yoga journey, instilling you with the groundwork and confidence to attend regular classes or begin a home-practice.

Who is it aimed at?

Complete beginners who have never done yoga before. However, students who have already practised some yoga and want to deepen their understanding of the wider context of yoga are also very welcome.

You will learn some key postures from each of the main groups including standing poses, forward & back bends, twists, sun salutations and simple inversions. We will also look at the importance of alignment in all postures, how to work towards experiencing ease & stability in your poses and the importance of the breath – its effect on your practice and using it as a simple way to start meditating.

Covid Safety Measures 

There will be minimum of 1.5m between mats at all times, our purpose built studio has mechanical air filtration system which will be in use all time on max level.  This pumps in fresh air whilst simultaneously extracting dirty air.  The studio is cleaned after each session, compulsory hand sanitiser on entry as well as in the studio.  

Note: Each student needs to bring their own yoga a mat (we sell ex demo ones).

Practice at home

After each lesson each student will be emailed Free of Charge beginner series video link to allow you to practice and be reminded about all the things you have learnt as you go.
