What to expect from your
yoga
classes
|
What to expect from your |
| The type of yoga taught is hatha yoga. You will be guided through a general programme of yoga postures (asana), breathing exercises (pranayama) and a deep relaxation. Some meditation and/or chanting may sometimes be included. |
|
Although hatha yoga focuses mainly on postures and breathing exercises,
yoga is a holistic discipline. It is not only a physical practice, but also
improves mental and spiritual health. This approach will be reflected in your
lessons. |
|
You will not be coerced into do anything that you don’t want
to do in class! You will always be given the option to sit quietly out of any
exercise or given an alternative if a posture is inappropriate for you. |
|
The content of each lesson will be different, building on the previous
lessons of the term. |
|
The class will consist of a mixture of people with differing ages,
abilities and experience of yoga. All are welcome. Yoga is not
competitive and individuals will be working
at their own level within the class. Please enquire about disabled access. |
|
If you have a particular condition or illness, please discuss this with me. If
I am aware of your problem I will be able to give you
specific advice regarding your yoga. I will be able to include some postures
and exercises in lessons that will be particularly beneficial to you
and I will be able to give relevant modifications of postures if I am aware of
the specific problems of the students in my classes. All information given
will of course remain confidential. Pregnant women are very welcome, but
please discuss this with me first before coming to class. |
|
I am generally available at the end of class, and briefly at
the beginning of class. If you wish to talk privately, please telephone. |
|
Please talk to me! If I am aware of the needs and
preferences of my students this will help when planning future lessons. |
