Hello, lovely yogis! 🌿

Welcome to week four of our Beginner’s Yoga Course! I’m so excited to see you here, showing up for yourself and your practice. It’s been a wonderful journey so far, and I can’t wait to dive deeper into our yoga exploration together. Before we get started, please make sure you’ve completed classes 1 through 3. This course builds progressively, and I want to ensure you’re fully prepared to get the most out of today’s class. You can find the links to the previous classes below. 🙏

Class Breakdown

This week, we’ll focus on a few key areas to help deepen your practice:

* Stretching Techniques and Relaxation: Learning new ways to stretch and relax, ensuring you leave the mat feeling refreshed.

What You Need to Practice Yoga at Home

Starting yoga at home is wonderfully simple. Here’s what you’ll need to get the most out of your practice:

* Yoga Mat or a Non-Slip Surface: A good foundation is essential.

* Comfortable, Flexible Clothing: Ensure you can move freely.

* Optional Props: Blocks, straps, or cushions can offer extra support.

A Friendly Reminder

Before you begin any new yoga practice or exercise routine, I highly recommend consulting with your healthcare provider. It’s important to ensure that these activities are suitable for you, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions. Engaging in yoga carries some risk of physical injury, and by participating, you agree to do so voluntarily and assume all associated risks.

Thank you for joining me on this beautiful journey. Your dedication to learning and growing through yoga is truly inspiring. Remember to comment and I’ll comment right back.

Until next time, keep breathing, keep stretching, and keep smiling. 🌸

Warm regards,

Jo
