What will I learn? - Standing poses, balance poses, gentle backbends, twists, forward bends, hip openers, simple arm balances
Breathing exercises to improve concentration or relieve anxiety Guided relaxation sequences to relieve stress, insomnia, and depression
What should I wear? Wear something comfortable that you can ‘move’ in, and layers of stretchy clothing if you get chilled easy. Capri pants or gym shorts with biking shorts underneath work well. Avoid really baggy clothing (this makes it hard for your instructor to see your alignment). What equipment do I need? We have yoga mats, blocks, and straps at the studio. Many people decide to buy a yoga mat (see yoga resource page). Is yoga enough to keep me fit? Yoga is not just about stretching our bodies or breathing in special ways, yoga also teaches us to pay attention to those little things that make life less stressful and more meaningful. It can be life-transforming if practiced regularly. Ultimately a regular practice will be daily, and there are subtle ways of introducing yoga into your life and 'living your yoga'. It is about being in harmony with your body, mind and spirit. Anyone who continues with a regular yoga practice will become of subtle, positive changes in their approach to life. Yoga is noncompetitive; every time you show up on your mat, it is 'practice'; yoga practice is always a 'work in progress'. Check your ego at the door.
