Astanga vinyasa yoga beginners courses

These courses are suitable for either total beginners to yoga, or beginners to astanga yoga specifically. On the course you will learn the specific breathing technique involved in the practice, a safe and detailed look at the sun-salutations, which form the basis of the sequence, and a certain number of standing postures, which we will look at in detail. The practice of astanga yoga is potentially very strong and energetic, but should always be practised in a safe, controlled way, and these beginners courses are intended to give you a good solid foundation to take it further if you wish. Even if you are quite experienced in other forms of yoga, if you intend to start practising astanga, we would advise you to begin with a beginners course.

Baby massage

with Anna Wise 

Massage is a wonderful way of communicating with a baby, strengthening the bond between parent and child. Learning baby massage can give parents increased confidence in handling their babies and better understanding of their baby's non-verbal communication. Massage enhances a baby's feeling of being loved and respected, as well as improving body/mind awareness, co-ordination and brain development. The course will run for 5 weeks and each week we will cover a different part of the massage sequence, building up to a full massage in week 4.
