The class is progressive and student centred. It will be designed round your needs and priorities to improve your practice further.

What to bring to class

Please wear suitable exercise clothing: tracksuit trousers or leggings are better than shorts. Also bring a warm garment such as a sweatshirt to wear during warm-ups, discussions, and relaxation. Bring a bottle of water. Whilst we do hold a stock of yoga mats at college we suggest that all students bring along their own mats for hygiene reasons.
