Students are welcome to attend on a casual / drop-in basis however, as in any place of learning, progression and understanding of the system taught reaps more profound benefits when attending regularly and consistently. All sessions are in person.

Most classes, regardless of level, begin with the sequence of caranas (joint warm-up) and progress through a sequence of standing work (preludes) to prepare for the seated (āsana) activity. The beauty of the Shadow Yoga system is that from the beginning the student utilises very simple movements to create a strong foundation upon which to build. The joint warm-up removes excessive stiffness in the joints and connective tissue, the proceeding squats build strength, stamina and promote good digestion and strong bones. The preludes taught develop co-ordination, rhythm and improved respiration.

Students are not pushed beyond their natural limits and alternatives and adjustments are given. Yoga is not a one size fits all exercise programme but a process of self-cultivation for each individual.
