YOGA BASICS is back!
Do you live in the Southampton area? Have you always wanted to try yoga because you’ve heard good things about it, but haven’t had the courage to just show up at an established class?
If you have no experience with yoga whatsoever, this is the place for you! But even if you have done yoga in the past, you will probably learn a good deal of new information.
Here are some of the benefits of the course:
* learn up to sixty yoga poses and exercises
* develop the skills to create your own routine
* prevent and reduce back pain
* find confidence and personal power through your body
* improve your strength and flexibility
* learn self-care relief for common aches and pains
* learn how to strengthen the pelvic floor, reverse and/or prevent urinary issues
* relax and thoroughly de-stress
* instantly improve your mood and energy levels
There are about 60 key asanas (or poses) on our syllabus, along with transitions and dynamic mobility-building exercises that are the hallmark of BraveBodies yoga. You will learn the proper technique, breathing and anatomy of each pose, as well as how to link asanas together. Each week we also explore different anatomical principles and how they relate to yoga as well as our everyday life. This is a journey of self-discovery. You will gain a greater insight into the workings of your body, and learn to apply the most up-to-date principles of optimal movement as supported by scientific research.
In each class you will receive handouts, and you will be also given a bit of homework. In addition, there will be a video each week of a gentle practice supporting the session. You will be encouraged to use it in between sessions to progress faster.
