My Yoga Place Beginners Journey

If you are completely new to yoga and perhaps a little bit nervous ab out starting the Wednesday 7pm class at Little Stanney Village Hall is the best session for you to attend in person. However if you would like to begin your yoga journey at home then sign up for amonthly unlimited passs online and work your way through all the courses Lyndsey has created to help get you off to the best possible start. All can be accessed via the booking links below. 

Once you are familiar and confident you can either join the 6:30am livestream (or take the recording) if you wish to continue at home or attend the monday 6:15pm session at Great Sutton Village hall. Once you are advanced you are then welcome to attend Wednesday 6pm or any of Lyndseys workshops. Materclasses or Retreats.

Lyndsey's first experience of Yoga was via a VHS video and this was actually all she had for practice for around 10 years as there were no classes in her area. When she moved to Ireland in her late 20s she found her first yoga studio, but she was so nervous about attending it took her 2 years to pluck up the courage to attend. When she finally did attend she kicked herself for not going sooner. She was welcomed, included and well looked after and this experience is the very reason why she takes such good care of new starters who might also be nervous. Once you have got that first session out of the way with you get more comfortable once you get your first 8 week course complete your confidence will just grow from there on in. 

Lyndsey knows how challenging Ashtanga can be for beginners, she herself gave it up initially and used another form of yoga to strengthen before returning to  Ashtanga classes. For this reason she breaks the practice down for beginners and helps students learn step by step. 

During a beginners course, Lyndsey will help you build strength, stamina and flexibility whilst learning how to synchronise the breath with the movement and also becoming familiar with the sequence. it won't be easy but it will be easier than a full on Ashtanga Practice. Lyndsey expects you to attend an 8 week course rather than dropping in to classes adhoc, An Ashtanga practice can only be mastered with consistent practice.

New starters should check out the free sessions available by clicking the link below and then perhaps booking the online intro course which help introduce the practitioner to the ashtanga method of yoga, once complete you will then be comfortable, confident and able to keep up in a beginners class. Ashtanga is not easy and its essential to take time whilst learning and cultivating a practice.  

Practicing yoga once per week is great but if you wish to progress faster or get more out of your practice we recommend you practice three to six times per week. his can be difficult to find the time to attend classes 6 times per week which i why we suggest one class per week in person and the rest online.

Join the morning live sessions, these might be intensive initially so Lyndsey suggests you divide your practice up into three 20 minute sessions per week or 2 30 minute sessions per week. Little and often would be the fastest way to progress and make light of a challenging practice.. the rise and shine session are live every weekday 6:30-7:30am  

Still unsure about where to start send Lyndsey  a message an she will happily direct you.
