“Yoga is a light, which once lit will never dim. The better your practice the brighter the flame.”

— B.K.S Iyengar

Everyone can benefit from yoga - whatever your level of fitness or flexibility - whatever your body shape or life stage.
Yoga will improve your strength and flexibility while also allowing you to relax and unwind.
People often think they need to be flexible to do yoga -the opposite is true. People do yoga to gain flexibility.
It really doesn't matter what you can and can't do. Yoga is not about forcing the fullest expression of a pose, but rather working gently with your breath and your own body's capabilities.
Start with a beginners class which will show you the basics and will explain everything you need to know.
There shouldn't be any competition in yoga - with yourself or with anyone else.
Listen to your body. You will workout and challenge yourself, but it should never hurt. Don't force your body to do something it is not ready to do.
If you need rest - take rest. Join in again when you are ready.
Towards the end of the class you get to lie down and enjoy deep relaxation called Savasana..bliss :)

Wear comfortable clothing. Avoid wearing anything bulky as it will restrict movement.
Drink plenty of water before and after class.
It is advisable not to practice on a full stomach. Eat a light meal a few hours before your class.
Bring your own yoga mat. You are welcome to use our spares but it is more hygienic to use your own.
All other props are provided. (Belts, blocks, bolsters, blankets).
Arrive about 5 mins early (10 mins for your first class) so you can register, acquire necessary props and settle in.
Leave phones at home, but if you have to bring it with you ensure it is powered off.
Be mindful of other yoga students and respectful of the yoga space.
Make sure you inform your teacher of any pre-existing medical conditions or injuries so that poses can be adapted to suit.
Challenge yourself, have fun and enjoy the process!
