This course is a movement based course. We will be using yoga asanas (poses) and movements to build flexibility and strength. Throughout the class we will be breathing deeply and developing our mind-body connection. 

The class will begin with a flowing warm-up, followed by the work phase, deeper stretches and final relaxation. 

Each week will have a different yoga routine to work through. No previous yoga experience is required. 

Students should be prepared with a clear space, yoga mat and water bottle. Yoga props are not required but can be used (e.g. straps and blocks).
