Going back to basics! After Tai Chi basics, we are offering Yoga Basics to get your body and mind stretched for the warmer Spring season!

Location: Forest Community Theatre 59 Guildford Road London E17 4EA

Dao Lu CIC and Yvonne Henrietta Yoga are collaborating to deliver a Yoga Basics Class for residents living at Walthamstow Stadium and within one mile. This project has been kindly funded by L&Q.

Yoga Basics is ideal for residents who have wanted to try yoga, think they “can’t do yoga”, feel they are too busy for yoga, “can’t touch their toes” and any other reason you can think of that has stopped you from starting a yoga stretch!

Yoga allows you to reconnect to your body and breath and move into postures gently but will still allow you to increase your strength and flexibility. Yoga Basics will be taught at a pace that provides an opportunity to notice your breath and any subtle differences between postures held on the right side of the body vs left.

Yoga Basics is an ideal pause in your day for you; the pause and gentle movements help to decrease feelings of stress and anxiety and is great for busy lives we lead. Adjustments/modifications will be suggested to suit your individual needs to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable practice.

What do you need for Yoga Basics Class

  • A Yoga mat (recommend at least 4mm in thickness, if too think will impact comfort of practice/cause injury)
  • A blanket for relaxation
  • Yoga Block or book
  • Yoga strap or scarf/robe belt
  • Comfortable clothing that you can move easily in
  • Bottle of water
