  • Improve Flexibility and Strength: Gently build up your body’s flexibility and strength, no matter your current level.
  • Reduce Stress: Learn breathing and meditation techniques that help calm the mind and reduce stress.
  • Enhance Well-being: Regular practice promotes overall health, well-being, and a positive outlook on life.

Our beginner classes are designed with the absolute novice in mind, ensuring a comfortable and supportive atmosphere where you can learn at your own pace. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Friendly, Welcoming Environment: Our classes are small and intimate, ensuring personalised attention from our dedicated instructors.
  • Foundations of Yoga: We cover basic yoga postures (asanas), proper alignment, breathing techniques (pranayama), and the fundamentals of meditation.
  • Variety of Styles: While focusing on gentle and accessible yoga styles, we introduce the diversity of yoga practices to suit different preferences and needs.
