Yoga for beginners

Yoga is for everyone, no matter your age , body shape or fitness levels.

Yoga practiced regularly is a complete tonic for your mind, body and overall wellbeing. A practice that can help you gain more self confidence & self- awareness, so you can make better choices for you emotionally, mentally and physically

The course will cover:

Breathing - simple breathing techniques that can increase your energy, calm your mind and give you more clarity.

Asana ( postures) - You don't need to be flexible to do Yoga but you will build strength and stability, once you learn how to do the postures safely for your body type

Meditation & Relaxation - I will guide you through some simple practices that will help calm you nervous system and remind your body how to relax, so you can move more easily between activity & rest

Yogic Philosophy - Kindness, Contentment, Truth, Non- attachment, Non -Grasping & more - guiding principles to find more steadiness & ease in your life. I will weave these into the teaching in a practical & realistic way

Yoga isnt just about making physical shapes, its not simply an exercise that you do & go home. Understanding Yoga as a whole will enable you to bring the practice into your life, so it can help support you where-ever you go and with whatever challenges you face, emotionally, mentally and physically

The Teacher

My name is Katie Despres & I have been running the Beginners course at Yogasara studio Bristol for the past 6 years & have introduced 100's of people to Yoga

I am a 1500 hour qualified Hatha Yoga teacher with the IYN. A senior teacher at Yogasara plus an experienced Transpersonal/ Wellbeing Coach and Family Constellations Practitioner.

I have three children and found yoga at the age of 40 - it changed how I live my life

I teach what I have experienced myself . I give with clear instructions with humor and in a realistic & practical & down-to-earth way

I teach two Beginners Courses:

Part 1 - Our Asana focus will be on learning the Sun Salutation, a sequence of movements & postures

Part 2 - Our Asana focus will be to revisit the Sun Salutation each session & then add in the Standing Postures such a Warrior 1, 2, 3 & 4

Part 2 will run after Part 1 … it is not harder than Part 1, it's a different set of postures that some may find easier to access … however I do recommend you do Part 1 first if you can …
