Course outline

Sivananda Yoga is a classical Indian system of Yoga. 12 core postures are taught, focusing on balancing the body through stimulation of glands, balancing of internal organs and creating a stronger, more healthy body. Pranayama (breathing techniques) and Dhrana (mindfulness) are also integral parts of the system.

The course will run for 12 weeks, exposing the student to all parts of the practice in a structured way.

The course is suitable for all levels of experience. Mats are provided. Just wear clothing that won't restrict your movement and bring a bottle of water.

At the end of the 12 weeks there will be an opportunity of another course for those who wish to refine what has been learnt and deepen their yoga practice.

This course is aimed at those with some Yoga experience and with a desire to learn more and go deeper into their practice.

"From the very first Yoga session, people discover the intimacy that nature has established between awareness and physiology. Getting back in touch with this intimacy is very reassuring and delightful, particularly for people who have given up on exercise and become virtual strangers to their bodies"
