Yoga Foundations Course

Service Description

This 4-week beginner course is designed to slow things down, break down the foundations and help you understand what you're doing, why you're doing it, and how to adapt it for your body.

Over 4 weeks, we'll explore: 💫 Week 1 ~ Root to Rise We'll begin with a brief introduction to the history and philosophy of yoga before exploring how to build strong foundations through the feet, learning how to create stability and awareness in each shape. 💫 Week 2 ~ Bandhas + Breath We'll explore basic breathing techniques and introduce the concept of bandhas. You'll begin to understand how breath can support your movement and help you feel more connected to your practice. 💫 Week 3 ~ Sun Salutations We'll break down Surya Namaskar A + B, exploring the individual postures, transitions and modifications. You'll have time to practice the movements slowly and understand how the sequence comes together. 💫 Week 4 ~ Finding Flow We'll bring everything together with an introduction to Vinyasa-style practice, learning how to link movement and breath and move through a sequence confidently.
