Each of the 16, one hour long, classes is labelled with a descriptive text to help you get an idea of what you will learn in each class. As are the 8 shorter yoga lessons. You can first read about the ideas I will introduce to you, and what I will teach you, to set the tone for what you will be learning. The classes are linked in a set order, but you can also vary the order of how you want to take them. You will reap the good, positive, benefits whether you follow the order to vary it. You choose!You will need a yoga mat, and a little water. You can play music in the background if this assists you as you practice. Music is not necessary, more of a personal choice you can make, so if you love having your favourite tracks playing in the background, go for it. You will do well to have a yoga block and yoga belt, but don't worry if you don't have these because a little stack of books or a towel will work just as well. You can use a big book as a yoga block, and a towel as a yoga belt.Wear comfortable clothes that you can move around in all directions in. For example; yoga leggings and stretchy top, or t-shirt and shorts, and then place your mat down somewhere where there is a little space on either side of your mat.And that's it. Take a deep breath. Well done. You are ready to begin!What will you gain? I'm excited! I'm going to be teaching you about the most important postural alignment placement when it comes to practicing Vinyasa Flow Yoga successfully. In easy to understand dialogue, and, giving you easy to understand instructions. Being able to correctly execute the postures and movements will determine your rate of growth and expansion throughout your body and mind. And I'm going to help you with this by teaching you specific ways to work with your body and move with self awareness. I will guide you very well. It's one of my strengths as a teacher!Doing yoga well, safely, and to gain optimal results, will become clear from your first class with me. It can be quite challenging when we can't see ourselves with our own eyes, or we can't see exactly how we placed our back foot, or the front knee, or the neck and shoulders. So that why I am here! I will be continuously guiding you, and giving you lots of descriptive words, to assist you in earning how to do yoga properly so that you develop your strength and mobility efficiently. I'm giving you lots of information so that as you do each class you will have the tools necessary to practice in a way that will benefit your entire physicality. While at the same time; calm your nervous system, your mind, so to alleviate, or certainly reduce, stress levels.What will you learn? We are going to work on connecting the breath to the movements in order to raise your energy levels and to improve the muscle of your diaphragm (the breathing muscle inside you body around the area of the bottom ribs). With an enhanced breath awareness, you will find that your thoughts quieten and you will enter a state of peacefulness and calm control. In this state your movements, and yoga work-out, will feel smooth and blissful.In each class you will learn yoga poses and sequences that I have designed to bring you closer to your innate wisdom, that lies in every single cell in your body. I will teach you how to tune into your body so that you will learn how to release old tensions that might be blocking you becoming stronger. The result is that you will increase your range of movement and simultaneously strengthen your body. The tensions we hold are often in body, or in the mind, and each of the yoga classes here in the Body Works Prana Flow course will help you to let go of those tensions so that you can begin to build new, more positive, habits of body and mind.Ready to start?! I am. We are going to have a wonderful journey together. And, as well as being the best teacher I can possible be to you, my objective is to also have fun in the process.
