Course Overview

Course Overview
Ready to build strength and confidence in your yoga practice?

This beginners’ course builds on basic yoga foundations by gently developing strength, stability and confidence. Learners explore familiar postures in more detail and begin to hold poses for slightly longer, while still working at a comfortable, accessible pace.

The focus is on learning how to support the body through strength rather than pushing flexibility. Clear options are given so all learners can work safely within their own limits. Open to beginners joining for the first time or continuing from the previous term.

What will you learn and be able to do?

* Participate comfortably in a full beginners’ yoga session at a steady pace, with reduced need for rest or additional guidance.
