Join us at Spirit Bear Power Yoga every Tuesday evening to learn yoga in a friendly, relaxed and encouraging setting. This series 'starts from the beginning' and in plain English teaches you all the elements to build a lifelong yoga practice.
This is a perfect class for anyone who would like to try yoga for the first time or who has practiced but may have missed a few of the basics. This series is designed so that you can miss a class. If you do miss a class or just need a re-fresher, drop in to any of the classes the following month.
Each class will build on the previous class and will provide you with a foundation to enable you to get the most out of your ongoing yoga practice. In addition, we will gradually introduce heat into each successive class.
