Yoga for Beginners

Yoga for Beginners is for everyone. It is made for you who want to start doing yoga and need some guidance before your first full class.

Over four weeks we look at the foundational postures of a Vinyasa class: Downward-Facing Dog, Plank, Chaturanga and more. The classes are twenty minutes long. We stop here and there so you understand how to do a posture, and still get time to practise it.

Move at your own pace and take your time. You need a mat and two blocks. Books from your shelf work too. Level 1, with Lizette Pompa.

An Introduction To Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Patanjali was a yoga teacher who lived in India long ago. His Yoga Sutras are the classic text on the philosophy and practice of yoga.

This program gives you a taste of some of the essential teachings in the four books, or chapters, of the Yoga Sutras. A sutra is a short phrase or teaching. Patanjali did not write the sutras down. They were chanted again and again so students could learn them by heart.

The program follows that traditional approach: we chant each sutra in call and response before a translation and interpretation. Start with the Intro to The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Each teaching is 5 to 15 minutes. Level 1, no props needed.
