Helpful beginners yoga tips

  • We offer some great starter passes and packs for new students, scroll below

  • Giving yourself time to arrive and set up is less stressful on your nervous system. If you are borrowing props, please bring two pillow cases and 2 towels with you to each class.

  • If joining Zoom, please book 30 mins before class giving the teacher and you time to set up.

  • If you are pregnant, have existing injuries, or are on any medication. Contact us before the class.

  • Switch off your mobile phones to avoid disturbing your practice and disrupting others.

  • Stay hydrated before and again after class to remove toxins.

  • Don’t practice on a full stomach. Wait an hour after light snacks or 2 hours after large meals.

  • Never force or strain your body as it stresses your body and mind. This is the opposite of Yoga.

  • For results, we recommend regular practice with patience and persistence. Yoga is a transformational journey, not a quick fix.

  • The slower you go the better, rest anytime you need in any comfortable position.

  • Resting is not for wimps. Short rests help you to heal and rejuvenate quicker.

  • The final pose is the most important so do stay till the end, your nervous system will thank you!

  • We love your questions so please contact us to ask. Phone or text 0410 601 773.

  • We know how wonderful Yoga is and want this for you too.

I absolutely love your classes even though I am nowhere near the standard of the class. You are an exquisite teacher and in the few months that I have been coming to Clayfield yoga, I have found increased physical strength as well as a renewed mental discipline. Thank you!!

Beginners Yoga Workshops

At Clayfield Yoga Studio, our senior teachers recognise there is quite a lot for a beginner to take in. 

Each workshop will teach how the postures help release pent-up tension.  Learning how to refine your sensory awareness and become sensitive is how you become better skilled at being adaptive and resilient. The relaxed rhythm of breathing helps you to reflect rather than react, to soften rather than harden. From a calm place, you see more clearly rather through a foggy stress headspace. We learn to rest and let the pressure go that comes from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, which most people don’t realise they are functioning from.

Tanya and Alana will share with you ways to adapt the postures, start or deepen a meditation practice, and find long-lasting peace and tranquility from better breathing practices and philosophy
