Yoga for Beginners
Welcome!
If you’re just starting out with Yoga – you’ve come to the right place! Meg Summers has been teaching students of all levels, ages and abilities for over 20 years.
What is Yoga?
Yoga is an ancient system of movement that aims to teach its students the art of mediation. By initially focusing on simple yoga postures and breath, the mind begins to still. As the mind begins to still, the journey toward meditative awareness begins. As a beginner yoga student it is important to remember that the practice of yoga is about learning, you are not expected to be able to meditate right away.
Yoga has the added benefit of improving core stability, flexibility and strength. Each posture is taught with varying degrees of difficulty, this allows you to build up strength and flexibility gradually. Yoga teaches you to move with awareness so over time you become more aware of your posture and improve your postural alignment.
Yoga requires you to be receptive to the little changes that happen and over time you will enjoy the wonderful benefits.
What class is right for me?
You may like to join a Beginner Course where you will learn a flowing sequence of yoga postures that increase flexibility, core stability and the overall strength of your body. Yoga for Beginners Courses run a few times a year.
Get in touch with Meg Summers to find out more.
Alternatively you may like to join a Slow Flow or Level One class.
In the Slow Flow and Level One classes you will learn how to practice yoga safely and effectively, slowly working toward more challenging yoga postures. The Slow Flow class allows more time for you to enter, exit and also time to enjoy the poses for longer.
The Level One class is a little more challenging with dynamic and flowing sequences of movement.
These are perfect for those new to yoga or those getting back into yoga after a break. You can book here.
As vinyasa yoga is fairly active, these beginner classes give you the opportunity to learn the foundational techniques at a slower pace. We cover the most common postures in detail so that you are confident to join into any class.
