Description
After teaching for 20 years, this course represents what I wish students knew before starting yoga. What I wish they knew is that the purpose of yoga is to learn to listen to your body. That’s where mindfulness comes in. Whether you are new to yoga or jumped into yoga without the benefit of a structured introductory class, I hope you will find the following course helpful.
While I highly recommend you take an introduction to yoga course from a qualified instructor, I also know this might not be possible for a variety of reasons. This course is for anyone who is interested in starting a yoga practice, or reviewing the basics, but doesn’t know where to start. You may be overwhelmed by the selection of books and videos available, often with the pace of instruction in the videos moving too fast or assuming you already know the postures. You may be interested in yoga but are intimidated at the thought of walking into your first public class due to body image issues or physical limitations. Maybe you just don’t have access to an in-person teacher. This course is for you!
In this course you’ll learn:
- Some common names and poses you’re likely to encounter in a beginning class or video, so when they come up you’ll know what to do!
- What it should feel like and how to avoid injury.
- Ways to modify for common physical limitations (hint: your pose does not need to look like the instructor’s in order to benefit!)
