Description

What are the requirements to be able to practice yoga? Well, you need a body, and the ability to breathe! Anyone can practise yoga. Yoga is simply a celebration of our bodies ability to MOVE!

In this course, I guide you through 8 different classes, with 3 different styles of yoga. Enjoy some gentle stretching in our Hatha style Stretch & Breathe classes, or go for more of a workout in a Vinyasa Flow or Energising class. For more of a Restorative practice, try the Bedtime Yoga class or our Gentle Morning Stretch.

We will work through breathing technique in this course, learning how to breathe throughout our yoga practices, along with learning different breathing exercises to help with stress management.

In all of our classes, I guide you through each pose, teaching form in each posture, offering variations to suit your unique body. We all have different body types that mean our bodies respond differently to different poses. For example, if a student has tight hamstrings, maybe their downward-facing dog pose will have bent knees on tiptoes, looking a bit different to someone with not-so-tight hamstrings who may have straight legs in the pose. This is why we never compare ourselves to others in our yoga practice, it's all about YOU! Your practice is your chance to reconnect with your body.

In our yoga practices, we are never forcing the body into specific poses, but rather making our way into them all the while listening to what the body may be trying to tell us, for example 'I can feel the stretch, I don't need to go further' OR 'I can't feel the stretch, I'll try a deeper variation' and everything in between.

'No pain, no gain' is the exact OPPOSITE mindset of a yogi! We are NEVER okay with pain in yoga. If you ever feel pain in any particular pose, you can simply make your way into a restorative pose like Child Pose and wait until you feel ready to continue with the practice. And hey, staying in Child Pose for the duration of the class is still yoga! It's the practice of honouring what your body is asking for.
