Always wanted to try Yoga?
Ever felt too shy or embarrassed to go to a Yoga class, because you just don’t know what to expect or worried you’ll look silly?
Ever wondered that when you’re following that YouTube Yoga flow you’re doing it right?
Want to learn how to breathe better (not just in Yoga), move with ease (not pain and stiffness) and reduce stress and anxiety?
Want to learn about how Yoga is so much more than just doing a repeated set of movements?
This is the Course for You!
New for 2021, a six-week course programme designed specially for Yogis who may have only been to a few classes, or may have never tried Yoga before, but really want to. This course if also great for regular practicioners of Yoga if you want to deepen your knowledge of Yoga or renew your personal practice. This course also works really well as a compliment for people with existing exercise routines, including gym-goers, Pilates fans, and runners alike.
If you want to boost your energy levels, are open-minded, trying to avoid faddish or quick-fix solutions and are looking for a sustainable fresh start after the mentally and physically exhausting events of 2020, this is perfect for you.
What will be covered in the Course?
Each week, we will cover four key areas:
- Specific aims and goals for the session
- Introducing physical movements, adaptations using props and variations on key Yoga poses.
- The breath, how to work with and to maintain awareness of it throughout your Yoga practice (and beyond).
- The mind and some light philosophy around Yoga’s origins and key Yogic texts.
You will also receive a course handout each session to help you retain what you will have learned.
Please note that this is an online Course, due to current Covid-19 restrictions. To participate, you will need access to a computer or tablet/ phone, and will need to have Zoom installed. If you need any support, please get in touch with the course leader (link at the bottom of the page).
What to get out of this course…
Each week you will also receive a a takeaway tip to reflect on for the next session to help you on your journey of discovering your unique Yoga journey.
You will also have the opportunity to meet other like-minded individuals and connect through our private Facebook Community Group Page, so you can continue to keep in touch during and after the course.
Not only all of this, but during the course, you will also receive tailored feedback to help you get the very best out of your yoga practice, PLUS the option of an additional private, 1 to 1 consultation with the course leader during the course.
AND… if you’re locally based (Nottinghamshire region) there is also the option of a meet up towards the end of the course as a group for a coffee, local walk, and chat (dependent on local authority Covid-19 restrictions).
It was a really enlightening course, well planned and very accommodating. I loved it and it inspired me so much. It felt so real and involving, more than I expected in an online class.
At first, I hoped it would only help me be more flexible but realised there’s actually more to yoga. I have learnt more about the importance of focusing on breathing and how it can help me calm down and listen better to what I really want.
It has really opened up my mind in many ways as well as helping me overcome some fears.
Give it go, it’s definitely worth it.
I thought it was great to learn more about yoga movements. I didn’t just want to do the movements but also why I was doing them. It made me feel more grounded and it helps me to stay in the moment.
One thing I love about Frananda Yoga is her kind heart and easy-going, non-judgemental nature. You don’t need to worry about being ‘good at it’, [which] is nice for a change because we always feel pressure to succeed and to be great at something (in a job, in hobbies, in friendships etc.). But yoga is about releasing [that] pressure.
I was a bit worried that I would be awkward but everyone has been lovely and welcoming.
I am so happy I booked it!
