beginners yoga in ealing – for students who are completely new to yoga

For students who are new to yoga it is recommended you join the Beginners Yoga Course.  This 6 week course provides an introduction to yoga including alignment, breathing, relaxation and mindfulness. The course is open to everyone.

level one yoga – for students who have completed the beginners yoga in ealing course

Students who have completed the 6 Week Beginners Yoga Course (or have some experience of yoga) are invited to join a Level One or Mixed Level class. Level One classes are designed for students who have already learnt the foundation of basic standing poses, are able to perform a simple sun salutation and have started very simple breath awareness. The Level One Vinyasa classes include warm-ups, some simple, flowing standing sequences, some longer holds in poses, breath awareness, relaxation and very simple breathing/pranayama and simple, short meditation. The emphasis of these classes is on alignment and understanding the importance of the breath.

level two yoga – for students who are more experienced in yoga

This class is designed for students with a minimum of 3 years practice; who are already familiar with alignment of postures; are used to working with the breath and meditating. The Level Two Vinyasa classes include breath awareness, warm-ups, longer and more creative flowing, dynamic sequences, challenging variations of poses, relaxation, pranayama with retentions plus longer seated meditation.  There is a greater emphasis on the more subtle and energetic aspects of the practice, rather than alignment, in the Level Two classes. 

mixed levels – open to all levels

Suitable for all levels except complete beginners; options are provided for every level.
