Gentle Beginners

is the class for anyone with any of the following: chronic pain, arthritis, recovering from injury, obesity, just starting exercise, want to try Yoga but are reluctant, starting Yoga and are pregnant, recovering from surgery, post natal...... *be sure to have your doctors approval before starting Yoga if you are pregnant, have recently delivered, have injury or are recovering from surgery

Intermediate

suitable for those who have been practicing Yoga on a regular basis either at home or in classes for usually about a year. An intermediate student usually finds it less of a challenge to “quiet the mind” and focus on breath and body throughout the class and especially while holding asanas

Pre-Natal

there are pre-natal classes only where there are enough to make a min of 10 in the class. It is advisable to start practicing Yoga as soon as one has decided it is time to start trying to conceive. Once conception has occurred, there are definite guidelines to follow when doing Yoga. It is best to have a private consultation with a properly certified pre-natal Yoga instructor (in Yarmouth Kerry Lawson, Monique D'eon and Heidi King are properly certified in pre-natal Yoga.) A well trained doula or midwife will also know this information. Renee Bishara in Yarmouth is experienced in this area. As well, there is specific Yoga that should be practiced soon after the baby is born, and definite moves that should not be done.
