Yoga in Somerset

Yoga for beginners - 6-week course
Wednesdays 7.45 – 9.15pm
Begins 9th September 2026
£48

You will quickly experience various health benefits:
- Your posture will improve.
- Your spine will become stronger and more flexible.
- Your energy levels will increase and you will feel both calmer and more alert.

But in addition to the immediate physical and mental benefits, through yoga we can develop a longer term inner strength that can help us to become more resilient and take charge of our lives. This beginners course will give you a first sense of how this works.

Week-by-week you will gain confidence in your practice as you learn and repeat the movements, and understand their principles more fully.

Our theme in this session was "Letting go happens both on a physical and mental level".

In sarvangasana, the shoulderstand, Rob demonstrated beautifully how through a gentle mental focus the shoulders could relax and the whole body could rise up to become both upright and relaxed at the same time.

We worked on tuladandasana, the scales, in class. Here, Poppy beautifully demonstrates how the pose is not just a static line but flows dynamically outwards in both directions.

"Contemplating these photos can awaken a warm and meaningful sense of life – even if the poses feel too difficult and you cannot perform them yourself.

It is generally the conscious act of looking at these images that inspires us toward deep inwardness and a contemplative search for truth in life.
