The Method
Yoga teaching will help you to focus on correct alignment of the body in poses ensuring you’re working safely, with maximum benefit to your flexibiliy, strength and wellbeing.​
Classes generally start with simples poses and gradually move towards more advanced poses, ending with a period of relaxation and sometines incorporating breathing techniques.
Props, such as blocks, belts, bolster and chair are used in class to allow those with less strength or flexibility to work correctly and achieve their full potential.
