Introduction to Yoga (3 hr)

starts Saturday 17 september 2022 at 09:00

Taught in English, this 3-hour program provides a step-by-step introduction to basic hatha yoga practices followed by a discussion on yoga theory so that the beginning student can understand the physical practice within the context of yoga as a whole.

On a theoretical level, the student is introduced to:

  • the four paths of yoga
  • what is hatha yoga
  • prana, chakras and kundalini
  • proper exercise
  • proper breathing
  • proper diet
  • proper relaxation
  • positive thinking & meditation

On a practical level, the student learns:

  • the mechanics of proper breathing
  • the sun salutation
  • some of the basic postures of the Sivananda system

While most of our courses are suitable for complete beginners, this program is a way to make a smooth transition into the weekly courses.
