Classes
Session I: Tue 12 Nov 2024 — 6:30pm
In the first session, we will introduce the eight limbs of yoga, focusing on the ‘yamas’ and ‘nyamas’ also known as the moral codes and personal observances respectively. We will discuss how to integrate these principles in our daily life, to foster self love and compassion towards others. The session will conclude with a guided meditation and restorative yoga practice.
Session II: Tue 26 Nov 2024 — 6:30pm
In the second session, we will introduce the importance of breath in balancing our nervous system and how breath is essential for grounding ourselves and practicing the yoga poses, or asanas. We will explore two different breath work techniques - or pranayama - and we will discuss the advantages of each of those.
Session III: Tue 3 Dec 2024 — 6:30pm
In the third and last session, we will indulge in a complete asana practice. We will practice a vinyasa flow, moving from different postures. Attention will be directed towards our breath throughout the practice, and a short meditation practice will follow to ensure that our mind and our body are connected to each other.
