What to Expect
You don’t need to be flexible to sign up for the course; all you need is a flexible and open mind, and a willingness to give it a go.
In our beginners yoga classes we explore the essential foundations of Iyengar Yoga and teach variations of yoga poses (asanas) appropriately for the beginner level. The Iyengar Yoga method is known for its precision and focus on alignment, teaching you a safe approach to yoga postures.
A class is structured starting with more active poses where we work with the whole body, ending with relaxation. The class is 1 hour 15 minutes long.
Each new pose is introduced with the teacher demonstrating, coupled with detailed explanations. Adjustments will be given as appropriate and executed with the utmost skill and respect.
Before attending you will need to fill out a medical form. Depending on individual needs, the teacher will provide you with alternative ways to work within a pose.
With our weekly progressing classes, we endeavour to instil confidence in you in your yoga practice and to provide you with stimulating challenges for both your body and mind.
