Practice Notes:
It takes about 6 weeks of once or twice weekly classes for the body and mind to settle into the literal and physical language of Hatha Yoga. After six weeks a yoga beginner will feel a greater mastery over their practice; the mind will stop reasoning and the body will feel and act by its own intelligence. When this occurs the mind is then given the space to engage in present moment awareness; the foundation of living fulfilment.
For health and safety you will be required to bring your own yoga mat to all yoga classes in Balham or Earlsfield. Environmentally friendly, hypo-allergenic mats can be purchased in our Shop. No camping mats or towels allowed. Please consider purchasing a half yoga block and 5 yoga blocks (for inversions and restorative poses) and a D ring yoga belt. Alternatively, for the latter two, you can bring a thick blanket and a long sock. To book the class, see Booking.
