We will start each class with a short mindfulness meditation, in which we will connect with our breath and allow the mind to settle.
Following this we will learn and practise some physical postures (asanas), including Sun Salutations to build heat and strength, followed by some seated postures to develop flexibility. Modifications/alternative postures will be offered to ensure you can practise safely and choose the best pose to suit you. In some postures I may physically adjust you to ensure safe alignment and/or to deepen your stretch in the pose. If you prefer not to be adjusted, or the adjustment feels too strong, then just let me know.
Throughout the class, where relevant, there will be some tips / history / philosophy for each of the weekly themes to help understand the origin and foundations of the practice.
Finally we will rest in Savasana to calm and relax the mind and body, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
