This class is appropriate for those who want a softer, slow-paced, compassionate introduction to yoga. With a focus on the students abilities and limitations this class provides a highly individualized approach to practice with on-going encouragement as well as appropriate adjustments and suggestions to enable the students to find ease within each posture.
The practice of yoga has ancient roots dating back some 5000 years. The Indian sage Patanjali is believed to have collated the practice of yoga into a text known as the Yoga Sutras an estimated 2000 years ago. The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit word "Yuj" meaning to yoke, join, or unite. This implies joining or integrating all aspects of the individual - body with mind and mind with breath - to achieve a balanced, useful and contented life.
