…. CREATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE QUEST

The Quest is excited to offer a six-week yoga beginner’s programme, designed exclusively for Quest graduates (and their friends). If you’ve ever felt too self-conscious or lacked the confidence to try out yoga in a public class, this intimate course with a gay yoga practitioner and a small intimate group of like-minded Quest brothers is perfect for you.

When: every Wednesday 7-8pm, starting 25th June 2014

Where: West Hampstead Community Centre

Do you want to start a practice that can help? Improve sleep? Lessen stress? Release tension? Increase flexibility? Strengthen your core? Improve your balance? Concentration? Build self-awareness? Relaxation? As well as learning to meditate, bringing your body, mind and spirit into balance?

This is an ideal way to begin your discovery of yoga in a safe and friendly environment.

This course includes an introduction to yoga postures (asanas), breathing techniques and meditation. Each week we will explore a different focus i.e standing postures, backbends, forward bends, twists, gentle inversions and every class will include an opportunity for deep relaxation.

By the end of the course you should feel confident enough to start a home practice and/or attend an open level or Level 1 class at any yoga studio/gym as well as starting to reap the benefits of such a practice.

Detailed notes on key postures will be shared with you by email to support this.

Mats and equipment will be provided. Comfortable clothing is recommended, i.e. shorts, t shirts/sweatshirts/sweatpants, tracksuits are ideal. Yoga is practiced in bare feet (so that you can grip the mat and create a strong foundation) but socks can be worn at the end of the class in the relaxation posture.
