Public Classes

ALL ARE WELCOME

No matter what your age or level of physical fitness or area of interest, you will benefit in many ways from a regular yoga practice. Whether you have a need to improve your flexability and strength, to learn how to take control of stress in your life, to learn how to relax, to learn meditation or you might have an interest in yogic history and philosophy...

PREPARATION

To get the most from a yoga session you will need to be comfortable in class, therefore it is best to practice on an empty stomach so it is a good idea to have a light snack a couple of hours before coming to class. Also an empty bladder and bowels are recomended for comfort during practice.

Purchase of a sticky yoga mat is also recomended for use in class and for home practice, which is essential as it is non-slip and provides a warm barrier between the body and the floor. Some venues provide mats for use in class, but it is a good idea to obtain a mat for homework which will be given during a ten-week course. A foam block can also be useful for sitting or for use during posture work if necessay. If you have difficulty obtaining these, just ask.

A blanket to be used for relaxation can be useful to prevent distraction from any possible draughts.

Wear loose comfortable clothing which will not restrict your movement or breathing - no tight waistbands.

PRACTICING SAFELY

If you have any major health problems (for example, heart conditions & high blood pressure; hernia; asthma/bronchitis; chronic backpain and arthritis) which may affect your ability to practice yoga you must inform me of these at your first session so that I can advise you on suitable modifications - but if in doubt please consult your doctor. Pregnancy brings its own set of cautions, so please ask for advice and again consult your doctor.

An important point to remember at all times is to practice within your physical limits or comfort zone - but you also have to listen to, respect, and trust your body - if something doesn't feel right - don't do it. If in doubt ask for advice, especially if you are struggling.

Remember yoga should be fun - it is as much about the journey, as it is about arriving.
