Harrogate Yoga Classes
Harrogate Yoga classes
At Harrogate Yoga there are courses available for all levels of ability – from beginners to advanced practitioners. Amanda ensures safe and effective teaching through running yoga courses, not drop-in classes. This system enables students to progress in a class with others at a similar level, and means Amanda gets to know her students’ personalities, abilities and any health problems.
All classes begin with breath awareness and gentle warming-up exercises. Traditional asana, Sun Salutations and ‘vinyasa flow’ sequences are included according to level of experience. Classes always finish with relaxation and meditative practices.
Some of the classes at Harrogate Yoga are physically challenging. However Amanda believes that whilst adhering to the traditions and basic principles of yoga, it is always possible to make adaptations to suit individual capabilities and lifestyles. Her teaching is carefully modified to reflect this.
When coming to class, wear clothes you can move easily in and avoid eating for a couple of hours beforehand. If coming to Amanda’s yoga classes in Harrogate for the first time, please complete and submit a health form.
Venue and parking
All classes take place in a beautiful yoga centre in Harrogate – overlooking the Stray – fully equipped with the best quality mats, props and accessories, so there’s no need to bring any yoga equipment. If coming by car, it is usually possible to park on Princes Villa Road or South Park Road (a parking disc may be required). Please avoid parking on the slip road on York Place.
What is Yoga?
Very simply, yoga can mean ‘union’ or ‘focusing of attention’ – depending on the tradition of origin. However, through the practice of yoga, we aim to integrate mind, body and spirit, fulfilling our potential for vibrant good health. This includes a strong, supple body, clear and calm mind.
There are many ways in which yoga can be practised. Most people in Western culture begin with postures – asana, and work with the breath – pranayama. When yoga begins in this way it is known as Hatha Yoga. Some well known forms of Hatha Yoga are Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Bikram Yoga.
Amanda studied Ashtanga Vinysasa Yoga for some years: ashtanga meaning eight limbs, while vinyasa means ‘breath connecting movement’. Flowing movements synchronised with the breath are characteristic of ‘vinyasa,’ and also of Sun Salutations which are practised at the beginning of the Ashtanga series and in many of Amanda’s classes.
