The Sessions will be a gentle introduction to yoga for those who are beginners. Our Yoga Sessions are suitable for all abilities. Yoga postures focus on gentle stretches and moving with our breath to allow the body and mind to shift into the restful part of the nervous system. 

The Session will end with relaxation and breathing techniques to help us feel calm and rested. The purpose of yoga is to support the body and mind, the intention is to do only what makes you feel comfortable. Any body shape and fitness level can access yoga and qigong - it is about nurturing our well being and stilling our mind.
