Class Details, Dates and Times
James runs regular evening classes and also offers weekend workshops and short courses. The drop-in style Yoga classes in Oxford are progressive, with the aim of moving students towards a greater understanding of both the postures and the benefits that regular practice will bring. The classes are threaded week to week with a continuing theme but this does not exclude individuals from irregular attendance, although the recommendation would be to come every week. To encourage regular attendance and commitment from the student, James offers short courses or terms at most evening classes. These are aimed at the student who wishes to deepen their practice. Visit the short courses page for more details.
When choosing a Yoga class/teacher/style of practice, there is much to consider. The spectrum of Yoga ranges from the intensely physical, for example the style of Ashtanga or Jivamukti Yoga (none of which you will find here) to the very gentle, for example Scaravelli Yoga. When placing yourself in a class it is important to consider your current level of fitness, your natural flexibility and the amount of time you have been practicing Yoga. As a guide for this site, beginner/level 1 is more gentle, improvers/level 2 aimed at those who are fit, healthy and injury free with maybe some Yoga experience. Intermediate/Level 3 for those who have a level of practice experience, say 2 years plus. Theses are not absolutes but a guide to help you.
