With all that is on social media and the Internet, starting Yoga can feel a bit overwhelming. But it need not be so.<\/p>\n

We teach an exact and easy-to-learn system for beginning yoga properly and for supporting you in an ongoing practice for continued growth – physically, mentally, spiritual.<\/p>\n

We recommend starting Yoga in the following order:<\/p>\n

1. Take a Free Trial Yoga Class<\/h2>\n

Every Saturday morning, from 10.30-11.30am, we hold a free beginner-level, yoga class. No experience is necessary. It is a great way to check out a yoga class, our premises, meet our teachers and ask questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>

2. Join a Beginner Yoga Course (Yoga 1 and Yoga 2)<\/h2>\n

Beginner Yoga Courses teach the foundations of yoga systematically \u2013 from proper breathing, yoga pose basics, relaxation techniques. You\u2019ll also receive an introduction to yogic diet, meditation and positive thinking. Class sizes are small and the atmosphere is friendly, allowing for personal attention and questions. Yoga 1 focuses on proper technique and foundational theory. Yoga 2 goes deeper into practice to build greater strength, flexibility and stamina.
