Yoga (ACL)

Yoga is an ancient form of exercise and relaxation. Each yoga session is made up of the following elements:
- a short time relaxation and unwind (4-6mins)
- performing yoga postures whilst using the correct breathing techniques (approximately 60mins)
- a final relaxation period (6-10 mins).

Our aims are to relax the mind and body through gently, but progressively, stretching all parts of the body whilst using the correct breathing techniques. This will be carried out in a warm, relaxed and peaceful environment.

All classes are generally made up with learners of mixed abilities, ages and sex.

End Qualification:

There is no specific qualification but a college certificate is available if requested by the tutor.
