Introduction to Yoga Workshop

This is a workshop for beginners to yoga in which we will talk about what yoga is, where it comes from, the benefit of practising, and the different styles. During the workshop we will teach 3 short classes in contrasting styles - Hatha, Iyengar and Astanga, discuss why they are different and look at the sort of things you can expect to come across in yoga classes. There will be a short tea break during which there will be time for you to ask any questions, and also at the end of the workshop we will be happy to talk to you and recommend specific classes which would be best for you to attend. Suitable for complete beginners or students who have done some yoga before but may be confused about the different kinds of yoga.

Easy Yoga Workshop

A short workshop based on the idea of learning a handful of simple yoga practices that one can do at home without a teacher safely and beneficially. The workshop is open to anyone who would like to practice in this way including total beginners but more experienced students will also find something for them. The material presented relates directly to Tara's best selling book "The Easy Yoga Workbook".
