Gerber Yoga

This is my new beginner-level series called Let's Begin Yoga.

This series is specifically designed for absolute beginners or those of you who might only have done a couple of classes and are still finding your way around the mat. In each class we'll look at different parts of the body so that we can focus on feeling the oven through different yoga poses. The classes will be relaxing and simple, but will still provide you with a gentle workout.

Let's Begin Yoga

In this 20 minute beginner-level class, we'll focus on working our way carefully through backbends, strengthening the shoulders and opening up the chest. Have fun!

Yoga for Beginners - BACKBENDS | 20 mins

In this 20 minute beginner-level class, we'll be focusing on opening up the hips gentle through a range of movement during the practice. You can use blocks and blankets under your hips or knees in any pose.

Yoga for Beginners - HIPS | 20 mins

In this 25 minute beginner-level class we'll be working through a range of movements but focusing on twists and firing up the core so you'll get to feel what it's like to move your chest from side to side increasing the rotation in a save way throughout the practice. Enjoy the flow!

Yoga for Beginners - TWISTS | 25 mins

When it comes to starting your yoga journey, there's so much choice and variety in terms of the types of yoga you can start with, the studios you can practice at and the range of wonderful teachers you can practice with. 

This series is specifically designed for absolute beginners or those of you who might only have done a couple of classes and are still finding your way around the mat. In each class we'll look at different parts of the body so that we can focus on feeling the oven through different yoga poses. The classes will be relaxing and simple, but will still provide you with a gentle workout. 

There is so much more to yoga than just being strong or flexible, that's not the most important thing. We will therefore be integrating things like intention, mindfulness, meditation and breath work. I really hope that that this series gives you a positive introduction to yoga, confidence in movement and most of all makes you fearless when stepping onto your mat. 

The only props you'll need are blocks, a yoga strap and a yoga or fitness mat. You can practice these classes in any order and as often as you like.  Have fun!

Series Introduction - Let's Begin Yoga

With a variation of asanas to strengthen body and mind. Vinyasa means 'connection of movement and breath'.

My method and ethos is to promote well-being through a creative sequence of asanas, to allow you to build core strength and improve your flexibility. Yoga helps to maintain a constant focus, to calm and relax your mind, to release stress and to sculpt your body.

I believe in a safe practice of yoga and in our ability to listen to our own body : no body, no mind is similar; each and every students is unique and should be approached with its strength and weaknesses.

All levels welcome, the classes allow each student to progress at their own pace.
