Please wear comfortable clothes that you can move in and something warm to put on for relaxation. Bring a mat (I can lend you one to start with, if you don’t have one yet), blanket and maybe a cushion for relaxation.
The practice of yoga brings strength and flexibility to the body, calms the mind and refreshes the spirit. Yoga is non-competitive and is not about achieving the ‘perfect’ pose, rather it is about the journey there, working with awareness. Postures can be modified – or even missed out completely if you wish.
Classes start with a short time to focus and to let go of any stresses and tensions that may have built up during the day. After some gentle loosening exercises and warm-ups, we practice various yoga poses (asanas) – standing, sitting and lying down. These may include flowing sequences, a variety of different postures held for a short time, and maybe a balance, to help improve our flexibility, increase our strength and open our hearts. Classes may include a breathing exercise (pranayama) or a short, seated meditation to deepen our awareness, improve concentration and to calm the mind.
All classes finish with a deep relaxation, after which you will (hopefully!) feel refreshed, re-energised and with a renewed feeling in inner peace and tranquillity. Many students say they sleep particularly well on a Monday night, after yoga.
The teacher: Lorna has been practising yoga for over 40 years (where did all that time go?!). She qualified as a yoga teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga and has been teaching for over 12 years. She believes yoga should be enjoyable and fun – this ancient practice should be taken seriously but not solemnly!
