Therapeutic Yoga: All Levels

About this course

Each class examines one or two classical yoga poses in detail, breaking down their fundamental mechanics rather than treating them as fixed shapes. Verbal instruction guides learners through the practice, with opportunities for feedback, discussion and occasional partner work where appropriate. The approach focuses on developing awareness of the body and breath while working with mobility, flexibility, coordination, strength and stamina. The class is progressive and student-centred, with content shaped around learners’ needs and potential therapeutic concerns.
