CLASS DESCRIPTION
BEGINNER COURSE
A structured foundation course in Iyengar yoga with each class building on the previous one. Learn how to do yoga and keep it up at home on your own.
GENERAL
This class is for anyone who has at least 6 months of yoga experience.
PRANAYAMA (Breathing techniques)
Yogic pranayama techniques are very simple and have an immediate impact on many levels. They awaken our parasympathetic nervous system which helps to stabilise our moods, digest our food, and help us to stay focused and calm during stressful circumstances.
Pranayama induces a deep resting and healing mode that counteracts the stressful ‘fight and flight’ mode we tend to run on all day. Regular pranayama practice is very effective in reducing anxiety.
The best time to do this class is first thing in the morning, this will help you to benefit from its effects all day.
This class is recommended for students with at least 5 years of Iyengar Yoga experience.
PRIVATE CLASS
Suitable for students who want to address a particular issue, for rehabilitation or for those who want a tailormade program to do at home. Contact us to arrange a suitable time.
REST & RESTORE
Restorative poses release built up tension in the body and calm the nervous system. These supported poses have a cooling effect and are very effective in replenishing our energy reserves.
YOGA IN THE WORKPLACE
Yoga before work or during the lunch hour can help staff deal with stiffness and pain associated with computer use and mental stress. Contact us to discuss an individualized package.
LOW INTENSITY
This class is low key. We teach a few slow, basic standing poses as well as sitting and lying poses. We don’t teach any inversions or back bends. It is a good class for people who feel stiff or are tired and for those who are dealing with an injury.
