BACK-TO-BASICS

BACK-TO-BASICS

Woodland Yoga is delighted to offer a Back-to-Basics class focusing on body alignment, the fundamentals of pranayama (breath work), bandhas (internal locks), key asanas (postures), finding your vinyasa (sun salutation) and aims to give you the confidence to restart your yoga practice or for those brand-new to yoga.

These classes focus on anatomy and the benefits that each pose can offer, taking into account your individual body needs. Each week there will be a different theme and focus, whilst doing a rounded practice, therefore building up to a greater awareness of what your body needs and your understanding of yoga. 

The aim of the course is to provide a gateway into the other classes, workshops and retreats that Woodland Yoga offers so that you feel confident to attend and perhaps more importantly, inspired to continue your yoga practice and draw on its healing, supportive qualities.

Focus for next term: Mindfulness

• Is this a familiar image of the mind?

• Do you struggle to switch off at the end of the day?
• Are your sleep patterns disturbed because your mind is busy?
• Want to learn techniques in order to press pause on your thoughts?

If you've answered yes to any of the above then these classes are for you!

My Back-to-Basics yoga classes are the perfect practice to bring in mindfulness techniques, not only to be able to go deeper into the postures, but also to take these techniques off the mat and use them in your everyday life.

Here’s a brief schedule of what you can expect:

Week 1 – Intro & mindfulness of breathing

Week 2 – Body scan

Week 3 – Mindful movement & breath

Week 4 – Acceptance & surrender – sounds & thoughts

Week 5 – Exploring difficulty

Week 6 – Kindness 

Our next term starts 25 February and my plan is to focus on mindfulness techniques to help you create optimal healthy and well being.

So if you'd like to come and explore more of what yoga has to offer and learn ways to maintain a healthy wellness throughout life, then make sure you book your term below.
