Yoga 4 All

Ref: C3747685

An enjoyable course in a friendly environment aimed at people who genuinely want to commence yoga and maybe concerned about how to begin safely and gently. Specifically aimed at people with less flexibility, or who have joint or mobility problems. You may have other symptoms and conditions e.g. depression, anxiety, headaches knee/hip/neck pain, high/low blood pressure. We ease into movements and explore breath awareness that encourages mobility and activates the central nervous system. It is a gentle course adapted to learners needs, led by an experienced and well-qualified tutor.

Course aim

Do I need any particular skills or experience?

  • This course is for beginners and improvers

By the end of the course I should be able to:

  • Feel more physically grounded, especially in my feet. Waking up our feet helps us feel our spine and increases our general flexibility.
  • Improve my balance, coordination and strength giving me greater focus and helping to prevent falls.
  • Connect with others. This course is specifically designed to connect people. Connecting to others we feel safer. In modern society a lot of people are experiencing chronic pain and suffereing from depression due to social isolation.
  • Acquire breath awareness techniques that reduce stress levels and enable me to understand better how breathing affects my mental state. This also activates the parasympathetic system that helps us to feel more relaxed and more able to sleep.
  • A clearer knowledge in how to help myself ie. my self efficacy can improve and help me become more motivated to continue exercising regularly.
