FREE YOGA FOR BEGINNERS COURSE
Charing Cross Library 9th June-7th July 2022 Every Thursday 11.00 am
This five-week course is designed for anyone looking for:
• An accessible, well-rounded introduction to yoga;
• A refresher to return to practice;
• Enough knowledge to have the confidence to practice at home safely.
Yoga is for everyone and is an awareness practice. Main objective in this five-week course is to teach you the fundamentals of a balanced yoga practice – postures, breathworks, meditation, relaxation – in an inclusive way.
You will learn some key postures from each of the main groups including standing poses, forward & back bends, twists, sun salutations and simple inversions. You will also learn about the importance of alignment in all postures, how to work towards experiencing ease and stability in yoga poses, the importance of the breath – its effect on your practice and how to use it as a simple way to start meditating.
Every class will contain:
• Physical postures – to strengthen and tone the body and increase mobility.
• Meditation – introduction to Buddhist mindfulness practices
• Breathwork – simple breathing practices to boost mood and balance the nervous system
• Relaxation – can you believe we have to learn that? But we do!
You’ll also receive a small but comprehensive handbook and a suggested reading list to help you go over the things you learn and dig deeper into the yoga teachings.
