Classes usually begin with a gentle warm-up followed by a few yin postures, cultivating breath and body awareness and releasing hips and lower back. This slowly builds into a more energetic sequence based loosely on the Ashtanga system, synchronising breath and movement and developing strength, stamina and flexibility. Each posture is presented in a step-by-step format, accessible to beginners, informed by the precision of Iyengar yoga with an emphasis on safety. As confidence and mastery grow, more challenging variations are offered, focusing on alignment and the internal dynamics of each shape. Sessions gradually wind down into a deep and replenishing relaxation, calming the nervous system and integrating the energetics. |
