Beginners

Class Description:

This Yoga Iyengar course will be delivered face-to-face from Folkestone Adult Education Centre. The course has been designed by and is delivered in partnership with Davy Burns. Students will explore Asanas from the 2020 Iyengar Yoga Syllabus Level 1.

This includes Standing, Sitting, Forward and Lateral Extensions, Inversions, Abdominal Contractions, Backward Extensions, Arm Balances and Restorative.

Each lesson will feature a variety of asanas, which will be taught to enable students to work progressively and safely at all times. A range of yoga props will be used to enable and deepen students understanding and practice. Asanas will be adapted where necessary, incorporating adaptive teaching, to meet the individual needs of the students, enabling students to develop at their own pace. Students will be encouraged to “self reflect” and “explore” the poses to develop strength and flexibility, leading to deeper self-awareness, integration, relaxation and improved health and well-being.
