About The course

How do I get started? When starting out, it’s best to try a few different classes; some are dynamic and focus on burning calories, while in others you hold positions for longer to target muscles and connective tissue more deeply. Whichever you choose, it’s best to start with the simpler poses that form the basis of more advanced yoga – and you might even recognise some of them, such as ‘plank’ or ‘bridge’, as other fitness classes often draw on yoga as a basis for their exercises. Typically, you’ll find the names of yoga poses are descriptive, such as ‘downward-facing dog’, ‘triangle’ or ‘tree’, helping you visualise the shape your body makes.

Why is yoga so beneficial? One of the best things about yoga is that it works the whole body, including strengthening, tightening, and stretching deep and often little-used muscles. If you do other sports, it can also enhance your enjoyment and ability within them, by keeping cyclists and runners flexible for example, or helping with balance and safe changes of direction for tennis, basketball, and skiing.

Here at Moonlight Flow, we believe that yoga classes for beginners should be both fun and exciting whilst we provide you with the knowledge you need. We ensure that your introduction to yoga is informative and that you learn safe alignment and safe entry/exit from poses in a relaxed, friendly environment.
