Guidelines for your practice given the current COVID-19 pademic There are a few
things that we now have to do... You MUST book your space online as class
numbers are limited. If you or anyone you have been in contact with has or
thinks they may have COVID-19 please do not attend the session. Bring your own
mat, equipment, blanket, and water to the session. Scan the QR Code fo the NHS
Track and Trace App if you are using it. We must always keep 2 metres between us
and place our mats to allow this. I will have some cones to mark out mat
placement. I will not be adjusting you hands on during practice or providing the
hands on settling during relaxation. Please be kind to your fellow yogis – we
are all coping in different ways and some of us are more apprehensive than
others. General Information about the classes. All classes are designed to be
suitable, safe and enjoyable for beginner and intermediate Yogis. Adults of all
ages are welcome. Please let me know if you have existing conditions by email or
telephone prior to the class. For the 90 and 75 minute class - Class format is
generally a gentle warm up followed by a flow of postures to increase body
temperature and then a range of poses to build strength and increase
flexibility. We then move to gentle stretches and twists to cool down. The end
of the class usually consists of a breathing practice to calm the body and mind
with a final section of relaxation to close the session. For the Beginners class
- Class format is similar in order but focuses on the foundation poses with
extra time taken to ensure correct allignment and movement into and out of
postures. For the Gentle Yoga class - Class format is similar in order but at
much less intense level. The class is aimed at those with limited flexibility or
reduced strength who want to gradually build and improve both areas. For all
classes each person is encouraged to focus on their own practice and to do only
as much as feels right for them. We are all different so a posture that one
person finds easy another might find more difficult. Yoga is an excellent way to
improve your own strength and flexibility against your own starting point -
wherever that may be. I use a combination of demonstration, verbal guidance and
adjustment. Each posture will be taught with options to practice the next stage
or level if the Yogi wishes Every week will have a different focus; some
postures will be familiar every week others will be introduced to keep the class
interesting and fresh. For the Beginner... It is best to wear comfortable
clothing such as leggings or jogging bottoms and a T shirt. Socks, a warm fleece
or jumper, maybe even a blanket are useful for relaxation at the end of the
class in cooler weather. Some water to sip on is a good idea in hot weather.
Please bring your own yoga mat.
