New to yoga, or looking to reinvigorate your practice?

Our class series is designed to nurture, enliven and grow your understanding of yoga. Gain practical tools to enhance your posture, breath, and mindful movement in the studio and in daily life. Sessions will be held within a nurturing community. This workshop class will have a theme each week. Each lesson builds on the previous, with generous support and resources along the way. Although the workshops are designed as a 6 weeks structured course, they can also be taken as a individual class on its own, and this would suit students who are available or interested in only one or a particular workshop topic/s.
