That’s why we’ve put together a guide to the best Yoga classes for beginners. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing or energising experience, we hope that this guide will take the sweat out of finding the right Yoga class for you!
Gentle Salt Yoga at Kintsugi
Looking for a softer, slower approach to yoga? The instructors at Kintsugi will guide you through this restful, calming class with gentle flowing movements, breathwork and postures. A great way to find your inner peace.
Hot Yin Yoga at Bay Yoga
Activate your nervous system with Yin Yoga, a slow-paced style that works on deeper muscle fascia and strengthens connective tissues. Yin Yoga poses are held for between 3 to 5 minutes, enabling you to let go and work through your pain thresholds. The result: better flexibility and stronger joints. And, it’s perfect for beginners who already participate in other sports; Yin Yoga compliments other sports which shorten the muscles, such as CrossFit, athletics and other high impact sports.
Restorative Aroma Yoga & Yoga Nidra at Inspire Yoga
Relax, restore, and reconnect with restorative yoga and a 20-minute yoga nidra. At Inspire Yoga, you’ll find a safe space to let go of tension, pain and negative energy, and cultivate peace and balance. Perfect for those who seek a restful and restorative experience — the calm, in fact, might just drift you off to sleep!
