Yoga

Our varied professional fitness and wellbeing programme is designed to improve mental, physical, and social health whilst encouraging a reduced dependency on statutory health services. Our aim is to improve self-care including setting health goals, reducing isolation, improving social wellbeing whilst delivering excellent courses which improve the health of our communities through the prevention of ill health and injury.

This course is suitable for those just starting out in Yoga and also those who wish to further develop and hone their practice.

By the end of this course you should be able to:
• Demonstrate and hold a variety of postures using correct alignment
• Practise control of breath to assist relaxation and stamina
• Identify the benefits of Yoga practice
• Link a number of postures to perform a flowing sequence

You will need to be able to follow verbal instructions, observe and copy physical movements and use spatial awareness within a group. Although there is no specific work set outside of the class, students will gain most benefit if exercises are performed regularly and practised between classes.
