I've never done yoga before and I'm not sure if I'm flexibile enough or fit enough?
Soul Train Yoga classes are accessible to everyone! All classes are suitable for absolute beginners to advanced. All of the postures are introduced as new, then the more advanced students are instructed into the extended version of the pose. That's the beauty of yoga we can all be working to our own level but together in the one class. Students with injuries and medical conditions can also easily be included in the class and offered modified versions of the poses.
I have a medical condition that may affect my ability to do yoga, can I still join in?
All students or conferences participants need to advise the teacher before the session of any medical condition/injury or anything else that they think may affect their ability to do yoga, so that modifications and adjustments can be made.
I am pregnant, can I still join in?
Soul Train Yoga workplace and conference classes are suitable for all stages of pregnancy, unless the student has been advised against this by their healthcare professionals. Students who are in the early stages of pregnancy and have not yet "announced" their pregnancy to everyone, should still advise the teacher of their pregnancy, knowing the teacher will honour the privacy of the student.

Class Styles
Relaxing & Restorative - often chair based (no need for changing into yoga clothes)
Carrying tension in your body takes an enormous toll on your energy reserves. Yoga helps promote a sense of relaxation. Breathing deeply as practised in yoga, helps relax your muscles and also brings much needed oxygen to your cells. The deep sense of relaxation also leads to better quality sleep. Let Soul Train Yoga relax and restore and leave you to float out of the class...
Balancing
Asymmetry and unbalance in different parts of the body create stress and strain. Yoga helps in creating balance and harmony in the body. Yoga creates symmetry throughout your body, making you strong, flexible and balanced. Yoga helps to clear the clutter, brings us to better health at all levels and brings balance in our lives. Soul Train Yoga will help clear the mind and bring balance to your mind, body and soul.
Energising & Invigorating
Practising yoga is a great way to energise your day. Yoga helps release tension and clear blockages, allowing energy to flow freely, creating an overall sense of vitality and well-being. Yoga poses don't create energy, they release energy and they also keep us from expending energy in activities that don't do anything for us. Soul Train Yoga will help kick-start your day with a strong class leaving you feeling energised and invigorated.
