Beginners Course FAQs
Do I need to be flexible to do this course?
1
No! The course is aimed at complete beginners so you don’t need to be able to touch your toes or anything like that.
Will I need to sit on the floor?
2
Parts of each lesson will involve sitting on the floor (or on a block or bolster). If you can’t easily get up and down from the floor we recommend our Chair Yoga classes which are suitable for complete beginners.
What do I need to bring?
3
You don’t need to bring anything other than yourself as everything is provided. If you have your own mat, you’re welcome to bring it.
Are there any health conditions which would mean I can’t do this course?
4
There are a few conditions which cannot be supported. We do not recommend the class if you have recently had a heart attack or stroke, uncontrolled or acute conditions, or if you have had surgery within the last six months. We can support well-controlled angina, high blood pressure, cholesterol, COPD and asthma. We can also support osteopenia and arthritis, however if you have osteoporosis please contact us to discuss as Chair Yoga may be more appropriate. This course is not suitable if you are pregnant.
