Why Try it?

While you might associate yoga with impressive physical postures, its true essence lies in cultivating balance, strength, and inner peace. There are various types of yoga, from slow and meditative styles like Yin Yoga to dynamic and physically demanding forms such as Ashtanga.

One of the most popular styles for beginners is Hatha, which focuses on foundational poses, controlled breathing and relaxation techniques. Whether you’re looking to build strength, increase flexibility, or simply unwind after a long day, yoga is the perfect activity for a holistic approach to wellbeing.

Yoga is also a great activity during pregnancy to help manage the physical and mental changes during this time.

What do I need to take part?

You don’t need any prior experience to take part, and you don’t need to be super flexible. Just look for a beginner friendly class, and speak to the instructor beforehand if you have any medical conditions or injuries and they will be able to adapt postures for you.
