Have you always wanted to try yoga but felt too intimidated to go? Worried that everyone else is flexible while you aren’t sure you can touch your toes? Join me for a unique short course to learn all of the Yoga Basics to prepare you to join an open yoga class with confidence.
This series of four workshops is for a limited number of students so that I can guarantee personal attention. We work at a steady pace and only Absolute Beginners are allowed. The most common poses are broken down in detail and adapted for your body’s ability and fitness level and you will also experience restorative yoga poses and meditation.
Come and give yoga a try in an informal, relaxed and supportive environment. In keeping with the Absolute Beginners theme of the workshops, it’s accompanied by an 80s soundtrack. The cost including all 4 workshops and a high quality yoga mat (colour of your choice from yogamatters) with a yoga brick and belt and a yoga mat bag all inclusive is £89. Please complete my booking form to book your place, a non-refundable deposit of £25 is required to secure it and the balance is due 7 days before the first workshop.

People often ask me what I would call the style of yoga that I teach, and I always reply Hatha Vinyasa, which means absolutely nothing to about 99% of people. If you would like to find out more about all the distinctive styles of yoga and what they are called then head over to Google where you can read all about it.
What I mean when I say ‘Hatha Vinyasa’, is that my classes tend to flow from one pose to another, moving with the breath. We often take several breaths in key poses before moving to another, so it’s far from Power or traditional Vinyasa yoga. Sometimes we stop for giggles, and sometimes to repeat a pose or break it down if it seems appropriate.
My classes are open to all levels, though for Absolute Beginners I run a short course to get them up to speed, as most of my students have been with me for some time now and the class is tailored to their level of ability.
Having said that, most of us are normal men and women with normal bodies so I would describe my class levels (and my own practice) as beginner or intermediate, not advanced.
Whatever your yoga level and however long you have done yoga, my approach is always to encourage each student to be on their own mat, working at their own level, each student feeling able to take a break should they need it, or to try a variation on a pose that would suit them better – regardless of what other students may be doing around them.
