My Yoga Place Beginners Journey

Join Lyndsey for an 8 week course or drop in weekly and pay as you go. Committing to the course will ensure you attend each week, you will save £25 and you will also ensure your space is reserved every week. Although if this doesn't suit you then you are more than welcome to drop in providing space is available. Courses can be booked in advanced by clicking the links below.  

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 8 week 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. 

 Beginners have two options:

Drop in Mondays 9:30am Little Stanney Village hall

 8 week beginners course. Mondays 6pm or Wednesdays 7pm

the Wednesday session is slightly easier and  the Monday session would require you completing the online intro course. 

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 or 6:30-8am during school holidays.
