Walking into a first class can feel like a bigger step than any pose. So here’s the whole thing, start to finish.
Arriving. Come five or ten minutes early. I’ll say hello, ask how you’re doing and whether there’s anything you’d like me to know. Pick any spot. The back row is not compulsory for beginners.
The practice. We begin by arriving: a few quiet breaths, sometimes a short idea from yoga philosophy to carry through class. Then we move, slowly at first, building into a flow. I give options throughout, and resting is always one of them.
The ending. We finish with slower Yin shapes and a proper rest lying down. After the Saturday Flow, lots of us go for coffee together. Come along. That part matters as much as the yoga.
