You can also learn the basics of Meditation by combining the course with the either Level 1 or 2.

Level 1 – the basic postures, breathing and relaxation techniques

Level 2 – a chance to improve the basic postures whilst working on asana variations and the headstand.

Meditation – practical and theoretical techniques for focusing and stilling the mind.

Positive Thinking – practical techniques for facing both inner and outer obstacles through an understanding of the transformative power of thought. You can choose to take yoga alone or combine it with the meditation and positive thinking.

Level 1 - 3 Drop-in Classes

For those who have irregular work times or just find it difficult to commit to fixed days and times, the best option is to join the “drop-in” sessions. Here you have the option to choose when to practise – mornings or evenings, Mondays to Thursdays. There are three basic levels: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3. Each level naturally progresses on to the next so that you can confidently move in to intermediate and advanced classes.

Level 1 - Basic breathing techniques, Sun Salutation, basic postures, relaxation techniques
Level 2 - Pranayama (breathing exercises), Sun Salutation, Basic postures with beginner variations,

introduction to headstand, relaxation techniques
Level 3 - Pranayama, Sun Salutation, basic postures with variations, headstand preparation and practice,

relaxation techniques

We recommend that you start with Level 1 for 6 sessions before moving on to Level 2. You can continue longer if you feel you need more time at each level. The teacher can also guide you when it is best to move on to the next level.
Once you feel you’re competent at Level 2 , you can join the intermediate classes or move on to Level 3.

Level 1 - 3 Class Days and Times:

Cost: Per session: Members £9 / non-members £13 / Concession £11
Six Session Course Card: Members £45.50 / non-members £65 / Concession £55.00
