For the new yogi or the beginner, this series is for you.  We spend 4 weeks discovering what yoga is all about and how we teach here at Hello Yoga.  Classes will be in a workshop format allowing students to ask questions throughout class.  During this series, we will also provide modifications that students can then use in class.  This series includes 3 virtual practice classes emailed after each class.

WEEK 1

We’ll introduce you to Hello yoga studio and share with you what we think yoga is all about.  Each week of this series you will be introduced to studio basics and history of yoga and what it means at Hello Yoga Studio.  In the first week, you will be introduced to the different styles of yoga taught at the studio, along with a basic breakdown of common phrases and terminology you will see at the studio.  This workshop will include demonstrations and open dialect for questions and concerns.

WEEK 2

The importance of the breath will be introduced in  Week 2.  You will be introduced to common standing

poses and balancing poses. And we will be introducing props and how to use them to amp up your yoga practice.   We will break down the pose body alignment and key actions.  At the end of the class, we will combine some of the new poses learned.

WEEK 3

You will learn poses that strengthen the back and improve flexibility in the spine. Twisting postures will be introduced along with the introduction of Sun A.  We will have time for questions and answers,  then the class will end with a short restorative practice.

WEEK 4

In week four we will jump more in-depth into Sun Salutations!  During this time we will have a refresher on Sun A and introduce Sun B.  Sun A and B are typically the most common in many yoga practices but at Hello Yoga we like to get creative and be more intentional about how we move.   Using all of the building blocks from the previous weeks we will put everything together to create a short class.  The class will end with a mindfulness practice.
