Yoga Foundations

Yoga Foundations is a four week beginners' course at Yacht Club Yoga, upstairs at the Port Melbourne Yacht Club. It is taught by Larissa Lewis, who has taught yoga in Melbourne for around six years and is now studying yoga therapy. No previous experience is needed, and there is no need to be flexible.

Each week builds on the last, so by the end the poses and rhythm of a regular class feel familiar. Finishing the course comes with a complimentary Yacht Club Yoga class to use afterwards.

• Week one: yoga philosophy and moving with the breath
• Week two: forward folds and twists, with alignment and modifications
• Week three: gentle backbends and side body work for strength and mobility
• Week four: a simple flow, finishing with a guided meditation
