Beginners level Classes
Classes to provide a bespoke service and more attention to beginners.
​
We are all at different stages in life and have a personal history with our own body. There is no one size fits all approach here when it comes to the participants of the classes. Participants are encouraged to listen to their bodies and are given options for optimum benefits of the practice.
​
The classes are a fusion of Yoga & Qigong. Qigong is an energy practice involving slow mindful movements. The practice has a nature theme and changes according to the seasons. I work with the meridians to eliminate blockages and reinforce the immune system.
In China, Qigong is used as a preventative medicine.​
​
The restorative practice through Yoga Nidra will rebalance your nervous system, boost your immune system, relax your tensions and promote alignment.
​
Yin Yoga involves stretches, it is particularly useful if you feel stiff to increase mobility. It also improves sleep and the immune system as we work with the meridians to eliminate energy blockages.
Tuesdays, 7.30-8.45pm
