Do I have to be flexible to do yoga?

No is the simple answer. Yoga can help you build your flexibility. I offer my classes in blocks so you can see your progress over time. But progress is not linear. It goes in peaks and troughs. Some days I hit the mat and cannot touch my toes, but after a bit of yoga my flexibility increases. Listen to your own body, as each body and each day is different. Even very flexible people need to work on their muscle engagement.

I have never done yoga before, are your classes suitable for me?

Yes, 100% yes. My classes are for everyone! I offer clear instructions with lots of modifications and options. Due to small class sizes I am able to adjust the class more to the individuals there in front of me. Listen to your own body and give it a go!

Is my body the right shape for yoga?

Every body is a yoga body!!! You do not need to be a pretzel. Enjoy the experience and the deep relaxation. In every class you are invited to listen to your body. Yoga is about feeling the pose and connecting with the body rather than performing the magazine cover pose!!!
