Who is it for?

- Perfect if you have attended other yoga classes but are looking for a refresher or a deeper understanding of yoga
Who is it not for?
- The faint hearted!
- Anyone who can’t commit to the full 6 weeks – as it’s a progressive course, attendance at every session is required

- Anyone who has issues with weight-bearing (plank, downward dog etc)
