What to expect
A class typically has a 10 minute relaxation/meditative practice, followed by about 45/50 minutes of asanas (postures). You will be shown some breathing techniques (pranayama) which are also used throughout the practice, finishing with a deep meditative relaxation (yoga nidra*) with some deeper meditative practices such as the early stages of Antar Mouna (inner silence) and deeper stages of Kaya Stherium being offered in the progressive beginner classes. The class will be focussed on releasing mental, emotional, physical tensions as well as gradually and safely developing balance, strength and flexibility of the entire body, mind and spirit. F.Y.I. If you are after something purely physical in nature you may be better off with a gym class. If you want purely core strength, pilates might be better. If you are looking for total wellbeing & balance of body and mind this class will be more suited to your needs. I send a recorded class if you are sick.
What to bring
Please bring your own mat, water bottle, blanket and socks (body temperature drops during deep relaxation/yoga nidra). I have a extra blankets and mats available if you don't have your own (byo during Covid time). Consider a goal / positive affirmation.
Preparation
Ideally yoga is practiced about 3 hours after eating to avoid discomfort and to gain maximum results. Wear comfortable clothing. Please try to arrive a few minutes early as we will start on time. If you are new add a few extra minutes on top of this for your first lesson (for an introduction).
