Courses
Yoga Foundation Course: This course is designed to gradually introduce students sequentially to yoga techniques which help increase flexibility, strengthen the body and encourage peace and harmony. Each week students are presented with a different focus building from week to week building to the final week where a typical ongoing class is presented. Handouts are given during weeks 1 - 5 covering the class focus. Booking and prepayment are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to attend a Yoga Foundation Course?
Foundation courses are designed to introduce the student to yoga asana practice. This will prepare you for ongoing classes and is the best way to start your practice. The course each week has a different focus;

and yielding

* Courses run subject to numbers throughout the year. Please check time table for dates.
What should I wear?
- Wear comfortable loose fitting or stretchy clothing allowing free breath and body movement.
- Layers of clothing in cooler months will allow you to regulate your own body temperature. It is advisable to wear socks during relaxation in the cooler months.
- Yoga is practiced in bare feet, so slip on shoes for ease of removal and putting back on are ideal.
- Long hair is best tied back to avoid distraction during class.
Can I eat before class?
It is best to practice on an empty stomach so allow at least 1 1/2 hour to 2 hours after a meal before class. If for medical reasons you need to eat before class choose something light.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Although there are yoga non-slip sticky mats at the Studio you are encouraged to purchase your own encouraging a home practice. Yoga mats are available from local retail stores or from Yoga Supply Companys such as EMP / I Yoga Props or Yoga King
Other considerations
- It is best to avoid wearing strong perfume to class as this can cause discomfort to some people.
- Make sure as you enter the room that you turn your MOBILE PHONE to SILENT OR OFF so it does not cause disruption during class especially in the relaxation period.
