Yoga for Beginners

Begin Iyengar Yoga with personalised guidance and sound foundations

What you will learn:

• Foundational yoga postures adapted to your needs
• Safe alignment and movement
• How and why yoga props are used
• Stability, mobility and body awareness
• Relaxation and introductory breath awareness
• Skills that can gradually support your own practice

Yoga Room offers personalised Iyengar Yoga sessions for complete beginners and anyone wishing to revisit the foundations of their practice.

One-to-one teaching is the main format, allowing each session to be adapted to your experience, abilities and individual needs. Private sessions for two or three people can also be arranged when participants would like to practise together.

No previous yoga experience is required. Maurice will introduce the practice progressively and help you develop confidence, awareness and a clear understanding of the essential foundations.

How beginner sessions work

Rather than following a fixed group course, your sessions will progress at a pace appropriate for you. Each lesson builds on what has already been learned while responding to your changing needs and development.

Maurice may use yoga bricks, belts, blankets, bolsters, chairs and other equipment to help you understand the poses and practice safely. All necessary equipment is available at the studio.

Please tell Maurice before your session about any injuries, health concerns, recent surgery or other circumstances that may affect your practice.
