Class Guide for Beginners

Trying yoga for the first time? Not sure which class to book? Here's a short overview of our most beginner-friendly classes to help you find your way:

‍YinYoga
‍A
quiet, meditative practice where poses are held for several minutes to target deep connective tissues. Great for stress relief, flexibility, and turning inward. Perfect if you're looking to slow down and relax.

‍SomaticYin
‍A
slower, even more intuitive version of yin yoga. This class includes gentle movement and moments of stillness to reconnect with your body and breath. Ideal if you're recovering from stress or simply want to move with more awareness.

‍EasyFlow
‍A
soft and accessible flow class. You'll be guided through simple sequences at a slower pace, making this a great entry point into more active yoga styles. No previous experience needed.

‍VinyasaBasic
‍A
foundational class that teaches the basics of flow-based yoga. You'll learn how to move with your breath through sun salutations and common poses. Great if you want to build strength, flexibility, and coordination.

‍AshtangaBasic
‍A
guided introduction to the traditional Ashtanga Yoga method. We focus on the first part of the Primary Series with clear instructions and time to learn. Best if you enjoy structure and want to develop a steady practice.

‍MysoreAshtanga
‍This
is a self-paced class within a group setting. You'll be personally guided by the teacher and gradually build up your own sequence. Ideal if you want individual support and like learning at your own rhythm. Beginners are welcome-just show up, and we'll guide you from the very first step.

Additional Tips for a Smooth Start

Start where you are.
You don't need to be flexible or experienced. Yoga meets you exactly as you are, and our teachers are here to support your journey; no pressure, no judgment.

‍Stickwith it for a few classes.
The first class might feel unfamiliar or even awkward (that's normal!). Give yourself 2-3 tries before you decide how it feels.

‍Letthe teacher know it's your first time.
We'll keep an eye on you, offer helpful cues, and make sure you feel comfortable.

‍Youcan rest anytime.
In every class, you're free to take breaks, pause in child's pose, or skip a movement. Listening to your body is part of the practice.

‍Comewith an open mind.
Each style and teacher is a little different. Be curious, explore, and trust that you'll find your rhythm.

‍Havequestions?
Don't hesitate to ask after class. We're always happy to explain a pose, a term, or just chat about your experience.
