Frequently Asked Questions

What if I cant do it ?
This class is specifically designed to be adapted for people with physical issues. You will need to supply sufficient information for the teacher to make appropriate changes to the yoga stretches (asanas) e.g if you have had chemo you may have low energy, if you have a stoma you may not wish to do a twisting motion. Yoga is about working within your acceptable limits, without pain. Sitting quietly and gazing into space is a form of yoga if it makes you feel better, so there is always something to practice :). If you would like to try a 1 to 1 class to figure out what can be done then we could do that first. You could then decide if a class with others is right for you. Let us find out together what can be done.
