home | Beginners (but not easy)
 

Beginners classes are not necessarily easy. They will still be a challenge and are suitable even for experienced yogi's.

The beginners classes are classes that have minimal chance of injury. Not that you should hurt yourself in any class, but these classes are designed to accommodate anyone. Don't worry if you find some of the poses challenging. Just do as much as you can without forcing yourself. Listen to your body and work with what you have on each given day.

Some of the classes are labelled into seasons. This doesn't mean that if it says it's a Spring time class and you are in Autumn that you can't do the class. That is when the class will be the MOST beneficial, but if you are having an issue with something to do with your Liver or Gall Bladder (flexibility, lack of patience - anger, joint problems, eye sight, etc.) then you can do the Spring/Wood element class (whatever time of year). It's a great idea to do a well rounded practice of yoga with a little bit of every season throughout the year. Every class has a little bit of every season in it anyway. The only thing you may want to be aware of is not to do too many Summer/fire classes in the winter and not too many Winter/water element classes in the Summer. You can do them, but make sure the next class you do is for the other season etc.

 TESTIMONIALS
Here's what our members are saying ...

"I've poured over the site, and found exercises that seem to suit my level of fitness and flexibility. I am impressed with your professionalism, and your very careful and precise communication. Thank you for making these classes available to those of us who live in isolated areas. It is something I have been wanting so much. Thanks again Janie. I feel like telling everyone how wonderful this site is and how convenient it is to have your yoga teacher at your beck and call whenever it is suitable. Great concept, excellent information and very effective postures. "

"The first thing I wrote to Janie about when I found this site, was whether the rib injury I had sustained months ago would stop me from the yoga classes. She gave me good advice, and amazingly, I have found that the postures that I have been working on have actually helped my rib tremendously. I now have no pain. I feel confident that I am developing a core strength which undoubtedly I didn't have when I injured my rib. "

"now at three months after the baby my core is amazingly strong, I'm getting more flexible and my pelvic floor muscles have never been so strong (pre or post baby!) Also my back, which takes a lot of punishment with two little children being carried a lot, feels opened up and so comfortable after your program. I will be continuing with the classes and look forward to seeing more improvement as time goes on, and I do hope to be able to attend a class in person some day in the future!."
