Class levels
Level 1
Suitable for beginners or those wanting a slower class to focus on their foundations. These classes do not require a level of pre-existing strength and flexibility.
Your teachers will ensure asanas (Yoga poses) are being practiced as they should be and a range of modifications or alternative options will be offered. Students will learn the basic building blocks of a good yoga practice.
Level 2
Suitable for those with some experience of Yoga or those who are already fit, healthy and regularly active, these classes are more physically demanding and most people should expect to sweat. Sequences may move at an energising one breath per movement pace to help invigorate your whole system, and/or will build your strength and stamina by holding more challenging poses for longer.
Students will expand on the basics and begin to work towards more advanced asanas (poses) and learn practices such as pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. An awareness of engaging and holding the bandhas will be becoming familiar during asana practice.
Level 3
Advanced/Intermediate classes are designed for those who have a good understanding of the basic Yoga postures, and would like to further develop their practice in a wider variety of poses and styles. The student understands the relationship between breath and movement.
Creative or dynamic sequencing will provide students with the opportunity to explore more advanced physically demanding asanas, arm balances and inversions. Engaging the three main bandhas will have become a part of the practice by now. Classes will regularly include pranayama, meditation and will touch upon Yoga philosophy. Students will be able to expand and deepen their practice on many levels.
