🧘 Yoga Foundations — 6-Week Cycle

📍 St Anne’s House, Brislington (BS4)
🗓 Wednesdays, 6.15–7.15pm
🌿 16 September–21 October 2026

A place to begin yoga, and somewhere to keep coming back to.

After ten years of teaching Yoga for Beginners at Yogasara, I’m continuing the course at St Anne’s House with a new structure.

Yoga Foundations now runs throughout the year in six-week cycles, with a break between each one. You can start as a complete beginner, stay for the next cycle, take a break or come back later.

Each cycle has a different asana (posture) focus, while we continue to explore breath, guided meditation and some of the wider teachings and practices of yoga.

This SEPTEMBER- October  cycle focuses on standing postures, Warriors, balances and more. The next  cycle (Nov- Dec ) explores the postures and transitions of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation).

More than the postures

Yoga is a vast tradition and there is far more to it than asana. I offer an accessible introduction to some of the practices, principles and traditional maps that I’ve found useful, and explore how yoga can inform everyday life.

I also bring a systemic lens to my teaching. Like nature, body, breath, mind, relationships and environment are interconnected. Each part influences the whole.

And if you simply want to move, build strength and mobility and learn yoga postures, you are equally welcome.

Why 6-week cycles?

We learn and practise together, then pause.

The break gives time for the practice to settle, to integrate what you’ve learned and notice what stays with you before returning.

Learn. Practise. Integrate. Return.
