Little Phoenix Yoga's beginner class is suited for any level, but targeted toward those new to a yoga practice. In this class you can expect:
-
a gentle warm up
-
an introduction to simple breath work (pranayama)
-
guidance through a variety of foundational poses (asana, pronounced "ah-suh-nah")
-
additional breakdowns of a featured pose or skill
-
a practice in English with Sanskrit terms in context
-
a guided relaxation (savasana, pronounced "sha-vah-suh-nah")
To be prepared, the following is recommended:
-
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to have full range of motion.
-
Use a yoga mat to prevent slipping and to give cushion.
-
Consider props-- two yoga blocks, a strap, a blanket, and a bolster or pillow. Props are not just for beginners. They are important for any level and support our experience and safety.
-
Have an open mind. Each person is unique and there is no perfect way to do yoga. Be kind and patient with yourself.
