Beginners Yoga
A supportive introduction to Yoga for beginners who are ready to move, learn and build strength
Beginners Yoga 4-week Course
Mondays 7.15pm: 5th, 12th, 19th & 26th October 2026 - 45 mins
New to Yoga? You’re in the right place.
This 4-week course is for absolute beginners who want to start Yoga but might feel a little nervous about walking into a regular class.
Everything is taught step-by-step, so you can learn the basics, build your confidence and get to know your body without feeling like you’re supposed to already know what you’re doing. Everyone on the course will be a beginner.
You’ll learn essential Yoga postures, strength and mobility movements, simple sequences and ways to adapt postures to suit your body. Each session finishes with seated postures and a guided relaxation.
What you'll learn:
✨ Essential Yoga postures — reclining, seated, all-fours, standing & balancing
✨ How to modify and adapt postures for your body
✨ Basic Yoga sequences and how postures flow together
✨ Strength & mobility movements
✨ Guided relaxation to finish each session
✨ And plenty more along the way
A little important note before you join:
Although Yoga can sometimes look easy, this is a physical course. You’ll be getting up and down from the floor and supporting your own body weight through postures such as Plank, Downward Facing Dog and Lunges.

Why is it important to learn the basics first?
Learning the fundamental yoga poses gives you a solid and confident foundation to build on. By understanding technique and alignment from the start, you reduce the risk of injury and create a safer, more enjoyable practice. Becoming familiar with these basics means you’ll feel more at ease in future classes, as many of the postures and sequences you’ll meet later are rooted in what we explore in this workshop. It’s the perfect place to begin.

What people say
I attended Nam's Beginners Yoga workshop as part of my commitment to improving my self care after my doctor recommended it. I was nervous at first, having not made much time for myself in a long while but from the moment I arrived I felt warmly welcomed and at ease. Nam explains every pose so clearly and the demonstrations really helped, she's very patient and clearly is passionate about Yoga!

It was by chance that a colleague of mine said I should go to Nam's Yoga as I had been complaining that everything hurts so I couldn't really cop out, I had to go lol. I thought I would give it a try, knowing I'm not flexible but omg, I felt parts of my body that had never moved before! I completed Nam's 6-Weeks beginners course and 1 year later, I'm at her regular classes and never looked back. Yoga isn't all about flexibility. I'm a hell of a lot stronger because of it. Thanks Nam x
