Foundation class Wednesdays 6-7.30pm
This level is designed for all of you who are a bit rusty or new to Iyengar Yoga. It will take you through how to do the Yoga postures (Asana) right from the very beginning and teach you how to use the equipment (different props) to improve your performance. This is very special for Iyengar Yoga. You do not need to be flexible or young to start.
Foundation classes are a wonderful way to re-start or begin your Yoga journey – the basics of each Asana (posture) are taught slowly and in depth to give you the confidence you need to move up the levels if you wish.
No pre enrollment is necessary, just turn up on the day.
60 + class Thursdays 11.15-12.15 noon
Welcome back to the 60+ class, the class who caters for you of any age, who simply feel too stiff or challenged to attend other classes. This class is only one hour long and yet includes all the learning regarding foundation that you need, while using props to help moving your body into various Asana (poses).
