Yoga for Beginners Workshop
Sunday 27th April 2025 | 2:00 - 5:00 pm
“Supportive environment and direct hands-on teaching with demonstrations and plenty of opportunity to practice postures again and again, without feeling repetitive. Also loved that we got to understand about yogic philosophy and the nuances of the phrases etc - really interesting and holistic view.”
- Chloe
About This Workshop
This Yoga For Beginners Workshop is specifically crafted to provide a space where everyone is welcome to begin their regular yoga practice. It is also a great place if you have experience and want to bring your practice back to basics, learning more about breathwork and posture alignment.
The aim of this workshop is to build up the foundations of a rounded yoga practice over 3 hours so that you can gain confidence in a studio environment with the basics of breath-led, mindful movement under your belt. To bring a sense of rest and rejuvenation as well as building strength and flexibility.
Pay in full or book your £15 deposit now to secure your place on the next Yoga for Beginners Workshop.
Timings
Please ensure you arrive 10 minutes before the start of the class so that I can show you around and get everyone settled in.
What to expect
We will come together for 3 hours where we'll spend time working with key yogic practices including breath-work, postures and guided meditations, breaking each down to really begin to unfold key yogic principles and teachings.
We will explore a foundational series of postures and practices over the 3 hours and will finally bring everything together in a flowing sequence of postures known as a sun salutation.
We work at a gentle pace, but with opportunities to challenge yourself further if you so wish, in order to increase strength and flexibility, but all the while keeping our centre of gravity low to the earth, with many points of contact, in order to stay grounded and stable.
There will be a short tea break half way through.
