Weekly classes are offered for all levels of ability. Regular attendance is advisable, especially for beginners to ensure you have a good foundation in yoga.
Satyananda yoga classes emphasise the spiritaul and meditative side of yoga and classes include postures (asana), breathwork (pranayama) and deep relaxation (yoga nidra) or meditation, appropriate to the level of the class.
Within each class you can expect to find some initial settling time and/or chanting, 45 minutes of posture work, 15 minutes of pranayama (breath work), 25 minutes of deep relaxation or meditation. Classes follow a theme throughout each six or eight week blocks, and although the structure of the class is similar each week the contents takes you through a journey of progression and self awareness.
The different levels of
classes are as follows:
General class - open to everyone
Beginners - for those with less than 1 full year experience of yoga, including pranayama and yoga nidra
Introduction to Satyananda Yoga - for students new to yoga or who are new to yoga nidra and pranayama practices
