Beginners yoga in Woking and Horsell
Never tried yoga, or coming back after years away? Start here. You don't need to be flexible, sporty or know any of the names.
What a beginners session looks like
We start slowly, with breathing and gentle movement to warm up. Then we learn a handful of foundation poses, such as Downward Dog, Warrior 2 and a simple Sun Salutation, with plenty of time to get comfortable in each. We finish lying down to relax.
- Options for every pose, so you can make it easier or a little harder.
- Plain English, with the Sanskrit names only if you're curious.
- No mirrors and no pressure. Nobody is watching how far you fold.
A friendly weekly class
My weekly class in Horsell village is small and relaxed, and beginners are always welcome. Most people find it easier than they feared, and nobody is watching how far you fold.
If you have an injury or a health condition, please mention it when you get in touch and check with your GP if you're unsure.

Good to know
Do I need to be flexible to start yoga?
No. Flexibility comes from practising yoga, not before it. Every pose has options so you can work at your own level.
What should I wear to a beginners yoga class?
Anything comfortable you can stretch in, like leggings or joggers and a T-shirt. Yoga is done barefoot.
How often should a beginner do yoga?
Once or twice a week is a great start. Many people notice they feel looser and calmer after a few weeks of regular practice.
