What to expect
A class typically has a 5-10 minute relaxation, followed by about 45 minutes of asanas (postures). You will be shown some basic 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) being offered at the end in the progressive beginner classes. The class will be focussed on releasing mental, emotional, physical tensions as well as gradually and safely developing 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 are looking for total wellbeing this class will be more suited to your needs.
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.
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).
