Yoga School, Beginners to Intermediate, with Lucy
Saturday 16 November, 12 – 1.30 pm
The latest classes in this Yoga School series continues our look at the transition from Beginners to Intermediate, specifically for beginners level students thinking about moving up. In November we continue to look at equipment use, this time common set ups to help with minor injury or difficulty in familiar asanas. We will look at when, how and why to use equipment in a regular yoga class. After this, you should feel more confident using props when needed in class and also know when you don’t need them.
Yoga School, Beginners to Intermediate, with Lucy
Saturday 14 December, 12 – 1.30 pm
This Yoga School class will be looking again at Inversions, mostly Sirsasana and Sarvangasana. Two very important asanas that are a vital part of Intermediate yoga classes. What to practice to prepare for inversions, what needs to be active to support you well and where you need to be grounded, where to lift, extend and soften. Join us for all things upside down! Beginners and Intermediate students welcome.
Book your place at Yoga School on the Timetable page.

ONLINE Winter Solstice class with Katie Rutherford,
Saturday 21 December, 5.15 – 7pm
This class has become a much treasured tradition at Yoga Now – a class of restorative asana and pranayama, practicing together but at home, to mark the turning of the world from darkness towards the light. A peaceful celebration, a quiet moment at a busy time of year, an opportunity to look inwards. Katie often reads some beautiful texts or poems while we stay in supported asanas and contemplate our breath and inner worlds. We are often joined by friends of Yoga Now from afar and it’s a lovely way to connect and share some peaceful moments.

Practice Session, next one tbc, 10.30 – 12.30, in the STUDIO.
Come and join Lucy and Katie in the studio, to practice together and use the studio equipment. Suitable for all regular students of Yoga Now, with a home practice.
Each person’s practice will be self-directed but we could have a theme so that the explorations and energy will have a common thread. As these will be spaces of self-practice within a group with no-one leading or directing, people will of course be welcome to practice as they choose or what best suits their conditions on the day.
Group practice is a tremendous way to learn and at the same time feel connected with others who also love yoga. They are kind, supportive and respectful spaces. It can be inspiring to see how others practice, how props are used; we can be reminded of different approaches to asana or of those we neglect; a pair of hands can be there to help us. The supportive environment may encourage us to find courage in place of fear, to explore further and delve deeper.
1 credit, £4.
Please book from the timetable.
