About the course
4-Week Beginners Yoga Course with Elevate Yoga Studio
Join Wen on a beginner-friendly journey into yoga, exploring its roots, philosophy, and practices, and discovering how yoga can become more than just movement on the mat, bringing its wisdom into your everyday life.
This course is suitable for:
Complete beginners who are new to yoga
Those with some experience wishing to deepen their understanding beyond the physical poses
Regular practitioners seeking a gentle refresher and a return to foundational principles
Over four weeks, each session explores a different aspect of yoga through philosophy, ritual, pranayama (breathwork), mudras (gestures), asana (postures), and guided relaxation. Together, we’ll build a foundation that supports both your personal practice and your understanding of yoga as a way of living.
Week 1: Ground
Begin at the roots of yoga, exploring its philosophy and the foundations of Hatha Yoga. We’ll explore pranayama, key asanas within Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation), and the principles of alignment, including how to use props safely and effectively to support your practice.
Week 2: Flow
Discover the fundmentals of Vinyasa-style Yoga, learning how to weave breath and movement into a flowing, mindful meditation. Explore the art of moving with intention, finding your own rhythm both on and beyond the mat.
Week 3: Unwind
Slow down and turn inward through gentle, embodied movement, and self-tapping/massage techniques to ease tension and cultivate awareness. We’ll explore longer-held Yin postures, supported by props, allowing space for stillness, softening, and deep relaxation.
Week 4: Elevate
Weaving together all that we’ve explored, this Yang-to-Yin practice honours the balance between strength and softness, effort and ease. Elevate your practice beyond the mat and into the rhythm of everyday life.
Each session is held in a workshop-style format, with space for questions and discussions. You’re encouraged to explore with curiosity, honour your own experience, and learn at your own pace. A digital course manual will be provided each week to support your learning and help you continue your practice at home.
This will be Wen’s sixth time facilitating this course. With each round, she continues to refine the course to make the wisdom of yoga more accessible, authentic and relevant to everyday life. She also adapts each session to the group's needs and energy, allowing the experience to grow and unfold naturally.
No prior experience is needed, come just as you are.
