Below\u00a0are the main basic poses we practice to help strengthen your muscular system. The weeks class is structured to combine simple and more advanced poses. The teacher provides detailed instructions on each\u00a0pose. The\u00a0pre conception of yoga is that you need to be super flexible. Far from it. We\u00a0use various methods to help all levels of students\u00a0by using blocks, chairs, blankets, belts and each other. No pose is impossible. We learn to increase our flexibility and strength from week to week, eventually building up the ability to practice some of the more advanced poses. \u00a0All the names below are the Indian original names with the more commonly known names in brackets. The level of the pose with regards difficulty is also given. \u00a0This may be useful if if you\u00a0continue your practice at home to remember the pose. we still recommend you attend a class to learn the correct methods of practice.<\/p>\n
