KNOFF YOGA CLASS LEVELS

LEVEL 1 (Introduction to Yoga)

The perfect way to start yoga, this entry level class is suitable for absolute beginners and anyone wanting a slower practice with time to explore the postures and foundations of yoga in detail.  Move up to the higher levels whenever you feel ready, or stay here for as long as you like.  You will often see some regulars and more advanced yogis in this class, as coming back to the fundamentals of this practice is essential for progression.

LEVEL 2

These classes move at a quicker pace than level 1 and expand on the use of Vinyasa (linking techniques) to build upper body strength, create heat and improve mental focus.  We introduce some stronger postures but you are welcome to modify when you need to, students at this level need to be able to self regulate and some experience of yoga is recommend.

LEVEL 3

As you progress, the postures become more demanding. This level is recommended when you are comfortable with the level 2 classes and feel ready to challenge yourself. Here you will learn how to increase your proficiency and skill in all areas of your yoga practice. 

LEVEL 4

At this level we study a number of inversions as well as stronger versions of the other Asana groups.  Competency with Level 3 is recommended before attending.

ALL LEVELS

Designed to accommodate different levels of yoga experience and all students (including beginners) are welcome. Easier Asanas and vinyasas will be given first with more challenging options offered for more experienced students.  You are invited to practice at a level that suits your ability and energy level on any given day.

COMBINED LEVEL CLASSES

Blends the two levels together, the class is predominantly taught at the lower level but we introduce some higher level postures as an option for more experienced students and those wishing to progress.

CHAIR YOGA

For seniors and physically challenged students with disabilities, lack of mobility, balance problems, joint challenges, recovering from illness, accidents and operations. As you build up your strength, stamina and balance, progression to our general mat classes can sometimes become and option.

Progression...

As your experience progresses, you can still continue to attend the lower level classes. This has many benefits, especially maintaining the poses you have already learnt. You also shouldn’t necessarily work at your edge or highest intensity during every practice. Have both challenging and then also less intense practice days. Your body and mind will appreciate it. This helps keep you motivated and inspired and also gives you access to a greater variety of classes and times to fit your schedule.

YIN YOGA

is a quiet and passive practice. Targeting deep connective tissues, fascia, ligaments, joints and bones.  It’s slow and meditative, allowing you time and space to turn inwards and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body.

PRIVATE SESSIONS

60 or 90 minute, one-on-one (and small group) classes are designed to deepen your understanding and speed up your progress. Ideal for improving technique and for specific health challenges such as: back-pain, posture improvement, structural imbalances, scoliosis, anxiety, insomnia, constipation, depression, headaches, pregnancy etc. Discounts are available for group bookings.
