Monthly workshops on Saturdays
NEXT Session: SAT February 15th, 2020, from 1.30pm to 4.00pm
with Sian Pringle
Building a strong foundation from the start is key to longevity in yoga. Our exclusive Fundamentals workshop is for the absolute beginner or for those who've tried one or 2 classes and felt left behind. Taught by Sian Pringle, one of Vancouver's highest-rated teachers, this 2.5 hour session will introduce you to all the basics of a Hatha Yoga practice. We'll practice some of the more common yoga postures to strengthen the body and maintain flexibility, learn how to link them together to create flows and how you might use props to enhance your practice. The class will finish with a guided relaxation (called savasana) lying down on the floor. You will also learn a little about the history of Yoga and some simple breathing practices for everyday life.
The intention for these sessions is to offer an easy accessible introduction to Hatha yoga and to offer some insights into how this traditional practice can offer us ways to live well in our modern world. It's friendly and casual, you are welcome to ask questions at any time. Stay for tea, bring a friend!
Limited class size and emphasis is placed on building a safe individual practice that works for you in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Drop-in classes
As a complete beginner you can also take any class on our schedule except for the Power & Power flo' classes, which are faster paced and usually more advanced. Be sure to tell the teacher you are a beginner before class. If you can't get to our Fundamentals workshop first then we suggest starting with an all levels class (Mondays, Thursdays & Saturdays are also with Sian) and then moving onto Power or Flo' classes when you are ready. See also our class style guide for help on which classes to choose.
Suitable for everyone without injury. Not advisable for pregnant ladies without prior consultation. Limited class size ensures individual attention.
