Yoga is a flexible and low-impact form of exercise that’s ideally suited to beginners and athletes alike. If you’ve never tried yoga or you want to discover its benefits, head over to our yoga for beginners London classes and find out what all the fuss is about!
Welcome to Yoga for Beginners at Goji London
Combining stretching, breathwork and light strength training, yoga is a full mind and body workout that can enhance your wellbeing and relieve stress. While there are many, many benefits associated with yoga, one of the best things about it is its accessibility. Everyone can enjoy yoga, whatever their age or fitness levels, and we our classes offer a welcoming environment and friendly atmosphere in which to embrace the benefits this centuries-old exercise can offer.
Focusing on four core objectives – Go Power, Go Flow, Go Stretch and Go Chill – our classes are designed for people of all abilities. Beginners are guided by our instructors and welcomed to modify poses to suit their ability levels.
Beginner Yoga Breathing
Pranayama – or yogic breathing – is a form of controlled breathing that is believed to improve the flow of energy and, in doing so, can help to reduce stress and anxiety. Typically, we breathe without being aware of it, but our emotions and environment often have a negative impact the way we breathe.
All forms of yoga encourage you to be more consciously aware of your beathing and, as a result, you’ll find yourself taking deeper, more cleansing breaths. In fact, this is one of the first things you’ll be encouraged to do at our yoga for beginners London classes.
Our Go Flow classes are particularly well suited to anyone who wants to advance their understanding and practice of pranayama. As you move through various different posts – or asanas – you’ll align your breathing with your movement and reap the mind-body benefits that yogic breathing offers.
Alternatively, our Go Chill classes enable you to re-centre and ground yourself through controlled breathing, movement and meditation and are a fantastic way to boost your mind-body connection at a slower, restorative pace.
Progressing from Beginner Yoga
As you become a more advanced yoga practitioner, you’ll notice that your strength and stability is enhanced. You may find that you’re able to take deeper breaths as your lung capacity improves too. Many yoga fans credit the exercise with helping them to regulate their nervous system via controlled breathing, which is why it’s such a popular and effective form of stress relief.
Your enhanced fitness and awareness will provide a foundation upon which you can build – expanding your repertoire with more challenging asanas or holding them for a little longer each time.
Our Go Power yoga class is filled with dynamic movements and is a great place to experiment with new movements, poses or inversions. However, all of our yoga classes are designed for everyone – regardless of your ability or experience. If you’re just getting to grips with yoga or you’re ready to try something completely new and fresh, our classes provide you with moves, sequences and guidance that can be completely tailored to your needs.
