NAMAS YOGA
Complete Beginners Yoga Workshop
Next date: Saturday 9.30am TBA. 90 mins.​
​
This workshop is ideal for the complete beginner who is ready to start Yoga but perhaps a little bit nervous about heading into a class environment with mixed abilities. Everything is taught step-by-step, making it easier for you to learn and experience the basic Yoga postures and more.
​
Learning the basics gives you a strong foundation, which will help you to work on correct technique, alignment and reduce the risk of injury. Becoming more familiar with the basics means you can enjoy your Yoga practice more and feel confident going into group classes.

​
What to expect:​
​
At this Beginners workshop, you can expect a warm welcome to get settled. We begin with a warm up to help focus on syncing our breath to movement, this involves gentle twists and mobility work.
​
We move on to learning foundational yoga postures, such as: Cat & Cow pose, Downward Facing Dog, Low Lunge and much more. These are all taught step-by-step, with clear instructions to ensure proper alignment and how to safely get in and out of each pose. Variations and alternative postures are offered throughout the session should you need them. I highly encourage everyone to take each pose at their own pace. No-one is expected to look a certain way or force themselves into postures that suit their body.
​
Though there is a blueprint to these workshops, no two sessions are ever quite the same as I will be guided by the group and by any questions. Some questions can be answered during the workshop but bigger questions are best left to the end so people don't cool down and we can continue the flow of the session.
Towards the end, we wind down with seated postures and a guided Savasana (meditation) to melt away any tension or worries. There is a yummy snack, by the amazing Oliver & Berry Grazing, waiting for you when you reawaken from your meditation. You are very welcome to stay, eat and chat after the session.
​
What to bring:
​​
Yoga mat & blocks are provided. Please bring a bottle of water with you to stay hydrated.

'I attended Nam's beginners workshop last week. I had no yoga experience and was very apprehensive as to whether I'd be able to do it. Nam's teaching style is relaxed, informative and down to earth. She shared her knowledge and expertise with the group and a few giggles along the way.I'm 100% hooked after 1 workshop 😱​See you in class Nam and thanks again xxx'
- Michelle Race
'​Thank you Nam for making me feel comfortable that I don't have to be able to touch my toes in order to try Yoga! As a mom of 3, I haven't had time to exercise in years so I found it challenging but in a good way that I felt places being worked that haven't worked in a really long time. I can see why people rave about doing Yoga every morning, it's so good for you!'
