If you would like to come along to a class and you haven't practised yoga before, the following information will be useful. Yoga is totally none competitive. It is life enhancing and everyone leaves class, fitter, more flexible and deeply relaxed.
Clothing ; a comfortable top or T. shirt and sweater with leggings or jogging bottoms, preferably not too baggy at the knee, so I may check for safe knee alignment. We work in bare feet but socks are comfortable for the relaxation at the end. Please bring a blanket or sleeping bag. If you have a yoga mat, please bring it. If not, I do have yoga mats I can lend to beginners and I can advise you what sort to buy. GOOD HEALTH and PEACEFUL MIND are the natural result of regular yoga practise. Val offers complimentary asanas ( postures) and timings according to ability. This is a panacea for stress relief and increased strength and flexibility. Val is an experienced, teacher who offers personal attention with a light hearted approach. She has taught in International yoga centres and is always exploring the beneficial practises to share with all students.
To ensure good digestion before a class, please leave at least four hours after a large meal, or two hours after a light meal.
If you have any health problems it would help if you would let me know before the class e.g. hypertension or back or knee problems etc. The Monday private classes last for 1½ hours and are £10.00 or, if you are a student, unemployed or retired, they are £8.00. (Please speak to me if you are interested in joining, there are limited places for reduced fees in times of need). You are welcome to pay on a 'drop-in' basis and are not committed to paying in advance, I look forward to sharing this wonderful subject with you. Namaste’. Val |
