6-Week Intro to Yoga Course in Central Bristol

A course designed for complete beginners in our beautiful loft-style studio. Led by experienced teachers; this course covers foundational postures, breathwork, and alignment. We welcome and encourage anyone to join, no matter age, ability, size or shape - come as you are and enjoy yoga!

What is Intro to Yoga?

Each week you’ll be guided through breath-led, mindful movement, and take time to explore postures to find the alignment and modifications that work in your body.

This course is designed to help you build the foundations of a well-rounded yoga practice over 6 progressive weeks:

  • Week 1 — Foundations: The breath, and the basics of standing poses.

  • Week 2 — Flow: Linking standing poses, introducing seated postures, and a deeper, wave-like breath.

  • Week 3 — Strength: Sun salutations and core basics, paired with ujjayi breath.

  • Week 4 — Opening: An introduction to heart-opening postures and twisting movements.

  • Week 5 — Extension: The foundations of backbends (building on Week 4) and a calming breath.

  • Week 6 — Integration: Everything comes together in a complete practice, closing with stillness and meditation.
