About the class
Gentle Hatha is a patient introduction to yoga. Poses are held rather than flowed, so there is time to understand where to place your hands and feet, and how to use props to make each shape feel supported.
It is a lovely class for beginners and for experienced students who want a quieter practice. Expect clear demonstrations, simple breathing exercises and a generous final relaxation.
Yoga supports general wellbeing but is not a substitute for medical advice. Please tell your teacher about any injuries or health conditions before class.

- Clear demonstrations before each pose
