Yoga Classes
Yoga is a deep and mindful practice of physical postures and breathing exercises to energise and nourish the body and mind. The benefits of yoga are many, but at its simplest level yoga is a means of maintaining health and wellbeing. This is most important in an increasingly stressful society. Although we usually teach yoga in group classes, it can still be varied to suit your individual needs. There are many disciplines and styles of yoga. In these courses we teach a gentle Hatha Yoga style, which is a combination of asanas (physical exercises and postures), pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation, ideal for anyone from complete beginners to advanced levels. By taking a yoga class, you can improve yourself in many ways:
But, first and foremost, whatever your circumstances: yoga is relaxing, energising, and fun! General Yoga classes take place on Thursday evenings. Please see our Workshops page for full details of dates and times, or please ask for details of other times, private or children's classes. We recognise that a regular weekly course may not suit everyone, although obviously your Yoga study and experience will be enhanced if you attend regularly. The class cost for a 5 class pass, valid for two calendar months from your first attendance, is £50; a 10 class pass valid for three months is £90. If this does not suit you, you may attend individual classes as and when you wish for £12 per class. The 2010 course series started on the 6th January, you are of course welcome to join any class at any time. Classes are small and numbers are limited, so booking is essential to avoid disappointment. Please bring a yoga mat and a blanket with you - if you do not have a mat then these are available for sale. |
