Yoga Basics Workshop - Yoga For Beginners

Yoga Workshop Designed For Beginners

5 Week Course | Every Sunday | Rise Fitness Cheadle

This 5 week course is aimed to give an insight, a starting point to yoga or to reconnect with yoga fundamentals.

What is yoga? There are so many types of yoga, which one is for me? How does yoga differ from pilates? Are yoga and meditation related? Can I practise yoga if I am religious? 

Just a few of many questions that you might have. Hopefully, through this course I can help answer your questions.

Yoga, for me has become a lifestyle where it has allowed me to find mental focus, body and self-awareness, relaxation on the mat and to translate these lessons off the mat too. In my opinion, all yoga is essentially the same. The root is the same, same principles, same basics, and same ultimate aim to unite the mind, body and spirit. Each yoga style approaches the practice from a different perspective, meeting students where they are at (this will hopefully make more sense during the course)

Course Details & What to Expect:

• 5 x 1 hr group sessions, every week. Mats provided.

• Choice to stay after class - have a chat or Q& As over tea

• Rosanne's support via email.

In this course we will be going over the fundamentals from a predominantly Hatha and Yin Yoga based perspective.
