A short contact / health form issued completed by everyone before they take part in their first class, to allow any advice to be given should there be any health concerns. My 'Modern Yoga and Relaxation' Classes are taught in a fun and effective way to include options from easier to harder so everyone can stop at a stage to suit their ability and/ or health. Classes begin with a Dynamic 'Warm up' followed by some 'Short Stretches' to prepare the body for the Yoga Asanas (Postures, Poses, Movements) that follow. Then the main part of the Yoga class begins with some standing Asanas, before moving into some sitting, or kneeling postures. Then we proceed to either lying on the back (Supine) or lying on the front (Prone) for the floor postures to continue.
The aim of the class is to move the body in all directions to include, forward, backward and side bending, twisting, balancing and upside down (inversions). At the same time correct breathing is taught throughout which also aids in relaxing the body and mind whilst getting the best out of the practice. Class ends with a lovely guided relaxation, allowing the body to totally release any tightness and tension that may have built up over time. It is advised to bring a blanket for this part of the class. Some mats are provided until you are able to bring your own mat.
