Welcome. Yoga is for everyone. There are no pre-requisites, intellectually or physically, for beginning yoga.
At The House of Yoga, many of our guided practice videos are for beginners or individuals new to the practice. We encourage new students, with an open and curious mind, to start with our ‘yoga for beginners’ videos. This enables you to practice at home, on your own time, in your own space, but still have the advantage of a professional instructor, guiding you step by step.
Beginning yoga can be intimidating, but, typically, after your first class, all of that melts away into the realisation of what yoga can offer you—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Stabilize & Ground
A vinyasa flow class focused on grounding. With this practice, you will become more present and establish a strong connection to the Earth. The focus is on hip openers, standing postures and forward folds.
SHORT ASHTANGA PRACTICE
An asana practice that includes a sequence of dynamic yoga postures, taken from the Ashtanga Yoga Method. This is a compact and invigorating practice, suitable for all levels.
MORNING GLORY
An active vinyasa flow practice that is a great way to begin your day; awakening your body and allowing your energy to flow through you in a harmonious way. You will focus a lot on connecting to your inner ground, developing an intimate sense of grounding and stability.
The Deeper Aspect of Yoga
What does yoga mean, really? Eddie Stern shares his view on enlightenment, modern-day yoga teachers, Pattabhi Jois, and getting to know yourself a little deeper.
Three Doors Meditation
A guided meditation on the body, speech, and mind, rooted in the Tibetan Bon Buddhist tradition. This practice helps to cultivate awareness, inner silence, and warmth.
Out of balance? Feeling depleted
In this talk the kapha dosha, (one of the 3 primary constitutions in the Ayurvedic system) is explained. The two elements in kapha dosha are earth and water. In this talk, you will begin to understand the qualities (within yourself or others) that reflect these elements.
Yoga for Beginners
What to expect
• A slow-paced, steady practice. Sequences vary slightly but incorporate many of the same postures.
• Class intensity will vary according to the class style selected (see our information on Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Yin)
• Careful attention is placed on your breath to create steadiness, and to facilitate relaxation and revitalisation through the practice.
Suggestions from The House of Yoga
• Be patient with your body and practice.
• Slow down your breathing to help facilitate awareness and relaxation.
• Try to build steadily into the postures. If anything feels very challenging, just modify the practice until you are more familiar with the poses.
• Try various styles. You may realise that one style suits what you need in your life and one style may not.
• Enjoy. Be patient. Be curious. Breathe. And have fun.
