This 8 week course is an ideal opportunity to begin a weekly practice of yoga, whether you're a complete beginner or you'd like to recap on some of the basic postures, breathing and relaxation techniques. The course runs at a gentle pace and will give you a good grounding in the foundations of yoga for you to then continue your own practice and to progress into our other classes.
InJoy! Yoga offers Beginner yoga classes for those who are new to yoga and for those who have previously learnt a little yoga. Classes are particularly useful for those who would like to learn the foundational building blocks of a safe Asana (yoga posture) practise. These classes are also particularly beneficial to those who want to develop their own home practice and to existing InJoy! clients who have perhaps come to pregnancy or baby and postnatal yoga but have not had much experience of 'general' yoga and want to join one of our general classes.
Classes focus on building an awareness of a balanced yoga practice, incorporating asana (physical yoga poses), breathing, meditation and sound practices. All foundational yoga asanas are taught so that the full range of movements needed for a healthy spine are covered. These include forward bends, back bends, side stretches, twists, inversions and balances.
Our aim is to ensure you are familiar with moving safely in and out of asanas, have grasped foundational alignment for all yoga asanas, have a clear idea of what your body needs to balance itself, and have learned the most important and beneficial yoga practise of synchronising breath and movement. This is how we synchronise all the internal systems of the body and makes yoga so health promoting.
