If you’re new to yoga, begin with the “Intro to Yoga” series, a welcoming place to start delving into the foundational elements of yoga. Here, you’ll learn about the various yoga styles, the essentials you need to start your practice and the importance of breathwork, complete with beginner-friendly breathing exercises.
When you’re ready, the “Applied Yoga” series offers a seamless transition from learning yoga to living yoga. These posts encourage you to take the principles learned in class and apply them to enhance your daily life, promoting a happier, more conscious, and peaceful existence.
