Who is Beginners Yoga For?
-
Absolute beginners are always welcome. If you’ve never tried yoga before and feel a little nervous about stepping into a studio, this class is designed with you in mind.
-
It’s also perfect for anyone returning after a break. Maybe life got busy or your confidence slipped a little - we’ll help you ease back in gently, with plenty of encouragement and no pressure.
-
Beginner Flow is a good fit if you’re looking for a slower, more welcoming pace. If faster classes feel overwhelming or you’re unsure where you belong, this is a space to learn, ask questions, and grow at your own rhythm.
-
You don’t need to be flexible or “good at yoga” to start. Just come as you are - we’re friendly, down-to-earth, and always happy to see a new face in the room.
