What to expect?  Ashtanga yoga is a physically demanding type of yoga with a focus on developing strength, flexibility and balance.  You do not need to have previous experience of yoga but should be prepared to put in an effort and work across all your muscles groups and joints, from head to toes, including your lungs!  This class is suitable for beginners and regular practitioners as I provide a range  of options for each pose to make it accessible to everyone.  You do not need to be flexible just come along to give it a try and see if Ashtanga yoga is something for you.  All are welcome.   

These are drop in sessions so there is no need to pre-book. You will need to bring own mat or book a spare mat ahead of the lesson.

Balance in yoga practice is just as important as the strength and flexibility of the body and mind.  It helps approach and tackle the difficult poses in the same way we tackle difficult situations in our daily life.  In yoga, it is paramount to understand the demands of the pose on the specific muscle groups and joints  in the context of the body as a whole and the biomechanical movement required to access it. 

During this workshop we will explore a range of balancing poses from the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series with some modifications to cater for a variety of abilities to make the poses accessible to all abilities.

Date: Saturday  26 October 2019, 10:00 - 12:00
